REC Change to Align with DCP467 Asset Condition Reporting
Summary
DCUSA change DCP467 has been raised to propose that Category A and B defects reported currently using the Asset Condition Report (D0135) or phone call to the DNO, should instead be reported via an online reporting tool where the DNO has one available. This is expected to have impacts to the REC.

Problem Statement
Where DNOs have enhanced reporting tools for Category A or Category B situations, it is not mandatory for Parties to submit reports using this method. This may lead to a detrimental Consumer experience, as it is limited what information can be provided over the telephone or via Market Message (e.g. it is not possible to provide photographs of the situation).
No documents available.
There is currently no Change Plan.

REC Change to Align with DCP467 Asset Condition Reporting
DCUSA change DCP467 has been raised to propose that for Category A and B defects reported currently using the Asset Condition Report (D0135) or phone call to the DNO, should instead be reported via an online reporting tool where the DNO has one available. This is expected to have impacts to the REC.
This is expected to have impacts to the REC, to the Service Termination Issue Reporting (STIR) Guidance document and potentially to the D0135 or D0126 data flows which are both owned by the REC.
If only the STIR Guidance document is impacted, this still needs to be processed a full Change Proposal rather than a Category 3 CP due to there being a change in obligations.
If only the STIR Guidance document is impacted, this still needs to be processed a full Change Proposal rather than a Category 3 CP due to there being a change in obligations.
To be determined, this is currently being discussed under DCUSA work groups.
