• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EL - IS-U meter reading data processing

• Message number: 272

• Message text: Dependent validation 06: Consumption ratio is outside of tolerance limit

What causes this issue?

In validation 06, the consumption ratio is compared to the previous
period. A validity interval is determined using the
<DS:DE.MAXRELABW>permissible deviation</> and the
<DS:DE.REGRATIO>cnsumption ratio</> of the previous period(s):
If the current consumption ratio lies outside of the interval, the
meter readings become implausible.
If there is more than one comparison period, the current consumption
ratio must lie in at least one of the validity intervals in order to
pass the validation.
