Key Responsibilities

• Advise on meter acceptance testing and commissioning verification, including accuracy, time synchronization, and consistency between display and system readings.
• Provide guidance on interpreting accuracy test tolerances and practical utility verification methods (lab versus field).
• Validate meter configuration integrity (e.g., CT/PT ratios, multipliers, TOU parameters) and distinguish between device, configuration, and system-related issues.
• Develop diagnostic playbooks for field investigations and evidence collection related to suspected meter performance issues.
• Define practical KPIs for meter performance assurance, such as test pass rates, repeat failures by model or batch, and accuracy-related complaint trends.

• Advise on preventive maintenance sampling programs using OIML G 20:2017 principles, including 95/95 confidence, AQL, and multi-level stratification incorporating AMI diagnostics.
• Provide guidance on field inspection and ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory testing scope and interpretation (electric: no-load and accuracy points; water: Q1–Q4 flow testing).
• Recommend event-driven replacement triggers based on AMI diagnostic indicators, ensuring AMI diagnostics complement rather than replace physical verification.
• Advise on replacement documentation requirements for auditability, including triggers, test results, billing impact, disposition, and failure analysis feedback loops.
