Yes, but in this case, Hydro Quebec is an organization that is accredited by Measurement Canada to carry out device certification and inspection. Therefore, they will verify their meters and fulfil all of our requirements. We do a follow-up on their quality assurance system. We also do an annual follow-up of their operations' audits — they must provide us with information on the results they have obtained.
In a nutshell, the law provides that these meters be verified and inspected again. In the case of electric meters, for example, this is done every six years — or every ten years, in certain cases.
