PSC 113.0912(1) (1) Self-contained polyphase meters together with associated equipment such as demand equipment, control devices, etc., shall be tested on the customer’s premises, a central testing facility or in a mobile test facility, except pars. (a) and (d), for accuracy at unity and 50% power factor under the following circumstances:

PSC 113.0912(1)(a) (a) Before being placed in service. For new meters given a prior test by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s certified test results may be substituted for this requirement.

PSC 113.0912(1)(b) (b) When they are suspected of being inaccurate or damaged.

PSC 113.0912(1)(c) (c) When the accuracy is questioned by a customer. (See s. PSC 113.0922.)

PSC 113.0912(1)(d) (d) Within 60 days after they are removed from service.

PSC 113.0912(1)(e) (e) Within a period of 6 months before or 6 months after 8 years of service for non-surge-proof and 12 years for surge-proof meters. Exception: Thermal and mechanical lagged-demand meters shall be tested every 8 years. Electronic (solid state) meters may be tested instead in accordance with the plan outlined in s. PSC 113.0921.

PSC 113.0912(2) (2) A stator balance test shall be performed on all new meters before being placed in service.

PSC 113.0912(3) (3) Meters with electronic programmable registers may be shop tested on a periodic basis.
