“Standards” – The list of Cenelec/CEI standards we refer to:

  • CLC/TS 50568-4 (2015) – Electricity metering data exchange – Part 4: Lower layer PLC profile using SMITP B-PSK modulation
  • CLC/TS 50568-8 (2015) – Electricity metering data exchange – The DLMS/COSEM suite – Part 8: SMITP B-PSK PLC communication profile for neighborhood networks – Including: The Original-SMITP B-PSK communication profile, The Original SMITP Local data exchange profile and the Original-SMITP IP communication profile
  • CEI TS 13-84 (2020) –  Electricity metering equipment – Communication with end-user devices Part 3-1: PLC protocol stack in the frequency band 125 kHz – 140 kHz (C band)

“Certification” – The certifications we provide:

  • Finished Product certification – Device compliance with full stack of SMITP protocol (CLC/TS 50568-4 and CLC/TS 50568-8) and Data Model (CLC/TS 50568-8). This certification is available since 2014. The Finished Product (e.g. a Smart Meter) can be certified for different classes (from Basic to Extended) according to M&M Certification Classes Specification.
  • Basic component certification – PLC component compliance with CLC/TS 50568-4 (2015) and CEI TS 13-84 (2020). This certification is under definition. Expected availability 2026.

“Certification process” – Meters and More TCC – Technical Committee for Certification delivers certification for devices compliant with SMITP protocol based on the report assessed by Meters and More Testing Authority. Currently Meters and More has accredited as Testing Authority CESI (KEMA Labs). Any interested party can contact KEMA Labs (contact person TCC Chairman – Riccardo Maria Seresini) to perform the set of tests defined for the specific certification and obtain the Test Report. The Test Report is property of the interested party that can submit the Test Report to the TCC: the Committee verifies the positive output of the test and transmits to the BoD the technical approval to issue the Certificate. The BoD issues the Meters and More Certificate.

Currently this Certification process in under review to support new scenarios linked to the Basic Component Certification.
