CSIP-AUS testing and certification
Future CSIP-AUS testing and certification
The ISC, through the ANU, is leading the establishment of a nationally consistent testing and certification service to support future CSIP-AUS deployment across Australia. The new testing and certification service will commence later in 2025 and kick off testing and certification for CSIP-AUS compliance.
Inverters will be tested and certified compliant with Standards Australia’s new Technical Standard TS5573:2025, which replaces its predecessor, Standards Australia’s Handbook HB218:2023.
To ensure consistency in interpretation and deployment, the ISC is also developing a server testing and certification service, which will enable Distribution Network Service Providers across Australia to test their own utility servers against a ‘reference server’ to ensure each will be compatible with inverters certified to TS5573:2025.
The new national testing and certification service is scheduled to launch in October 2025. Please see Consultation Activities for more details about launch of the new service.
CSIP-AUS testing and certification today
Testing and certification activities for CSIP-AUS are currently undertaken by the DNSP in which the customer is connecting to, although there exist mutual acceptance agreements for testing outcomes between DNSPs.
