Measurement Class

Metering

A single-letter code (A to G) that classifies how a meter is measured and settled, sitting alongside the Profile Class. Under MHHS, meters are also organised into three settlement segments: Smart, Advanced, and Unmetered.

Measurement Class is a letter (A to G) that tells the industry how a supply is metered and settled. It sits alongside the Profile Class in settlement data.

The classes (A to G):

ClassMeaning
ANon-half-hourly metered
BNon-half-hourly unmetered supplies
CHalf-hourly metered, 100 kW and above
DHalf-hourly unmetered supplies
EHalf-hourly, under 100 kW, CT metered
FHalf-hourly, under 100 kW, domestic (smart / MHHS)
GHalf-hourly, under 100 kW, non-domestic whole-current (smart / MHHS)

What MHHS changes: MHHS does not abolish the Measurement Class field, but it organises meters into three settlement segments for data services, cutting across the old half-hourly versus non-half-hourly split:

MHHS segmentCovers
SmartSmart and traditional meters at consumer and small-business level
AdvancedAMR and CT-metered supplies, typically larger or more complex sites
UnmeteredStreet lighting, traffic signals and similar

A note on terminology: These MHHS settlement segments are different from the import or export market segment (Domestic, Non-Domestic, Generation, Unmetered) that the LLFC encodes for charging. One describes how a meter is settled; the other describes what kind of supply it is for charging purposes.
