The Reliability Panel (Panel) has published guidelines and an accompanying final determination in relation to future reviews of the reliability standard and settings. 

The guidelines set out the principles and assumptions that the Panel will apply when it conducts future reviews of the reliability standard and settings.  The next review will commence in early 2017.

The guidelines:

• establish the assessment framework to be applied by the Panel when undertaking each review;
• identify an approach to assessment of each component of the reliability framework, including consideration of which components are to be reassessed in future reviews; and
• outline a general approach to modelling to be applied by the Panel in each review.

The accompanying final determination sets out relevant analysis undertaken to inform the contents of the guidelines.
