Smart meter renewals explained.
Authorisation due to expire? These answers explain renewals, assessments and first-time registration.
Renewal if your authorisation is still current, the initial package if you have never held CoMCoP, and PTO if your competence needs formally re-establishing.
The EUSR / REC / CoMCoP Renewal at £295 + VAT keeps existing authorisations live. The CoMCoP / SMICoP Initial Training and Assessment Package at £745 + VAT covers first-time registration for operatives who already have the underpinning skills. The Permit to Operate assessment at £326 + VAT is an employer-led competency check.
All three are experienced level. If you are new to metering entirely, start with a dual fuel or single fuel new entrant programme instead.

Authorisations are time limited and must be renewed before they expire. The EUSR, REC and CoMCoP renewal course is a one or two day assessment depending on scope, and keeps operatives working without a break in authorisation.
A PTO assessment is an employer-led competency check that establishes or renews an experienced operative's authorisations, covering single phase, multi-phase and gas low pressure. It suits engineers whose competence needs formally re-establishing.
No. CoMCoP covers technical competence to operate metering equipment, while SMICoP covers the customer-facing side of smart meter installation.
SMICoP, the Smart Metering Installation Code of Practice, sets standards for how installers deal with consumers during an installation visit, including the energy efficiency advice operatives are required to give. Both apply to smart meter work, which is why our initial training and assessment package covers them together alongside EUSR registration.

You cannot work on metering until it is reinstated, so renewing before the expiry date matters more than in most trades.
Authorisations are checked by employers and meter operators before operatives are allowed on site, and a lapse means being stood down rather than simply rebooking. Depending on how long it has been expired, you may need the full initial assessment rather than the shorter renewal, which is a difference of £450 + VAT and additional time off the tools.
Track your expiry dates and book ahead. If yours has already lapsed, call our team before booking so we can confirm the right route.
