Current through Reg. 50, No. 138; July 16, 2024
(1) For all types of utility-performed tests,
				  a test record shall be made whenever a unit of metering equipment is tested,
				  but need not be retained after the equipment is again tested unless the test is
				  made in accordance with Rule
				   25-6.059 or Rule
				   25-6.060, F.A.C. When equipment
				  accuracy testing is required under Rule
				   25-6.059 or Rule
				   25-6.060, F.A.C., any record of
				  accuracy testing for disputed equipment that is on file at the time the
				  customer request is made under Rule
				   25-6.059 or Rule
				   25-6.060, F.A.C., must be
				  retained until the dispute is resolved. The record shall show information to
				  identify the unit and its location; equipment with which the unit is
				  associated; the date of the test; reason for the test; readings before and
				  after the test; if the meter creeps, a statement as to the rate of creeping; a
				  statement of the "as found" accuracy; indications showing that all required
				  checks have been made; a statement of repairs made, if any; and identification
				  of the person making the test. The completion of each test will signify the "as
				  left" accuracy falls within the required limits specified in Rule
				   25-6.052, F.A.C., unless the
				  meter is to be retired.
(2) Each
				  utility shall keep a record for each unit of metering equipment showing the
				  date the unit was purchased, if available; the utility's identification;
				  associated equipment; essential name plate data; date of test; results of "as
				  found" test; and location where installed with date of installation.
(3) Records of Test for Incoming Purchases.
				  Regardless whether the newly purchased metering equipment is tested under a
				  Random Sampling Plan approved pursuant to Rule
				   25-6.056, F.A.C., each utility
				  shall maintain and make available to the Commission for each purchase of new
				  meters and associated devices made during the calendar or fiscal year, the
				  following information:
(a) Type of equipment,
				  including manufacturer, model number, and any features which will subsequently
				  be used to classify the units purchased into a population of units for
				  in-service tests;
(b) The number of
				  units purchased;
(c) The total
				  number of units tested;
(d) The
				  number of units tested measuring each percent registration recorded;
(e) Average percent registration;
(f) Standard deviation about the average
				  percent registration (population or sample standard deviation);
(g) Results regarding whether the units
				  tested meet the utility's acceptance criteria; and
(h) If a utility does not perform its tests
				  for incoming purchases, the data provided by equipment manufacturers concerning
				  units tested on a 100 percent basis by the manufacturer, with the
				  manufacturer's test results used as a basis for acceptance testing, shall also
				  be retained.
