Summary
The latest issue of the Service Termination Issues Reporting Guide (v4.3) contains errors. This is the latest version released recently at the end of February 2026 which introduced the new Asset Condition code C21. With this release, Defect Code B07 should have also been updated to include guidance on using C21 rather than reporting B07s when faced with situations regarding combined neutral earth connections. The latest release makes mention of the C21 code, but also still includes (now) incorrect guidance on aborting the job and reporting as a B07. Further to this, the Emergency Defect Code A05, whilst still listed at the top of the document in the table of codes, the actual A05 section with instructions on what to notice and how to report an A05 is now completely missing.

21/07/2026 - On 21 July 2026, the REC Change Panel voted to approve the Change Report (Proposal Plan) for I0325.
Summary
The REC was updated, primarily through R0209 and R0241, to add requirements that support the transition to, and enduring operation of the MHHS arrangements. As part of the transition, each impacted Metering Point will be migrated using processes defined in Codes, including the REC. Once this migration activity is complete, the legacy and transitional arrangements will become redundant and should be removed from the REC to support its efficient operation

Problem Statement
Retention of redundant obligations within the REC would make it more complex to navigate for Market Participants and could cause confusion on the obligations that are in effect to support the efficient operation of the Great British Energy retail market. It is also worth noting that until Ofgem formally closes the MHHS Significant Code Review (SCR), this REC Issue could potentially impact that SCR.
