Times of India | Lens on smart meter test process in UP AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The UP Rajya Vidyut Upbhokta Parishad (UPRVUP) has criticised the testing of smart prepaid meters in the state, alleging that the laboratory used—Madhyanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Limited’s (MVVNL) hi‑tech lab—lacks the necessary accreditation to perform the specialised tests required under IS 16444 standards for smart meters, being only authorized for conventional meter testing under IS 14697 and IS 13779. A four‑member technical committee formed by UPPCL, which includes IIT‑Kanpur professors Ankush Sharma and Prabodh Bajpai, examined complaints about meter quality, connectivity and performance, and sampled 24 meters from various manufacturers. While MVVNL’s Subodh Jha argued the lab could conduct the “accuracy subset” tests common to all standards, UPRVUP chairman Avadhesh Kumar Verma urged that future testing be confined to Central Power Research Institute labs, utility labs, or NABL‑accredited facilities with the appropriate scope to preserve public confidence, noting also that UPPCL had been found charging an unauthorised rate for IS 6444 smart meters.
