    1. Define the process for accessing Service Provider or Metering Coordinator compliance.
    2. Define the compliance measurement criteria for Service Providers or Metering Coordinators.
    3. Define the consequential process to be applied in the event a Service Provider or Metering Coordinator is non-compliant.
