	answer text	DECC has undertaken extensive consultation with energy companies, meter manufacturers and others to develop specifications for smart meters. This work has included examination of existing solutions and emerging EU standards. Prior to mass roll-out, energy suppliers will use the foundation period to build up experience and learning and during this period it is expected that many currently available meters will comply with DECC's specifications. For mass roll-out it is probable that further product development will be required by meter manufacturers.
