The Ofcom Metering and Billing Direction sets technical standards to support accurate billing by communication providers. Companies with an annual turnover over £55million must have their metering and billing systems independently assessed by companies such as BSI. Achieving this certification instills consumer confidence and demonstrates trustworthiness.
The Direction covers areas like tariffs, accurate billing, and risk management within the Total Metering and Billing System (TMBS). BSI, a renowned certification body with over a century of experience, offers certification to this Direction. Organizations meeting the requirements are awarded BSI Kitemark™ certification.
BSI’s expertise in telecommunications spans decades, helping providers comply with regulations and improve resilience. Beyond metering and billing certification, BSI provides market access services such as UKCA marking, the IECEE CB Scheme, and CE marking. BSI also offers TL 9000 certification, tailored for the telecom industry.
