The Energy Regulation Board (ERB) is a statutory body responsible for regulating the energy sector and derives its mandate from the Energy Regulation Act No.12 of 2019.
The Zambia Bureau of Standards (ZABS) is a statutory body established under an Act of Parliament, the Standards Act of 2017 for the development and promulgation of national standards for Zambia.
The ERB in collaboration with ZABS and other stakeholders has undertaken a revision of the following Zambian Standard (ZS) on Quality of Consumer Service in the Electricity Supply Industry (ESI):
ZS 397:2017: Electricity Supply – Quality of Consumer Service – Specification
The standard specifies the minimum requirements for assessing the quality of service offered to electricity consumers by the electricity service providers. The revision has been necessitated by the new developments that have taken place in the ESI since the publication of the previous edition. There is also need to align the Standard to the new legislation promulgated in 2019 and, in addition, to address the challenges that have been faced during its implementation.
This notice serves to invite the public, interested and affected parties to submit comments on the above Revised Zambian Standard. Copies of the draft revised standard can be obtained from the ERB and/or ZABS offices at the addresses indicated below. Additionally, electronic versions of the drafts are available for download from the links below.
Draft Zambian Standard DZS 397: 2023
Comments on the draft should be submitted to the Director General, ERB or the Executive Director, ZABS no later than Friday 20th October 2023.
