The TAA is a BSC Agent procured and managed by Elexon. The TAA is currently C&amp;C Group Ltd.<\/p>\n<p>To check Metering Systems the TAA has to perform site visits. The TAA will notify the relevant Registrant and the appointed agents of the scheduled site visit. The Registrant is responsible for securing access to the site and Metering System and should ensure that a suitably qualified Meter Operator Agent can attend.<\/p>\n<p>&#xA0;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"panel-title\">I&#x2019;m expecting a Metering site visit, what do I need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>An authorised inspector will visit your site and perform the checks. The TAA Metering Inspectors are suitably qualified, trained and experienced to carry out the inspection visits and have the appropriate authorisations throughout Great Britain. They all carry copies of their authorisations.<\/p>\n<p>We&#x2019;ve developed an online support tool, the&#xA0;<a class=\"external-link wpel-icon-right\" title=\"Go to TAAMT\" href=\"http:\/\/www.elexon-assurance.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Technical Assurance Agent Management Tool (TAAMT)<\/a>, to help facilitate site visit planning and two-way sharing of information with the TAA. It&#x2019;s a central database that contains all historical data and information for Metering System visits performed by TAA inspectors. You can use it to view inspection schedules and results and to submit data and communicate with the TAA.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to use this system please contact the TAA Helpdesk to arrange an account. The TAA Helpdesk is available during business hours to answer any questions and help you with data submissions.
