The request should also investigate what activities the ISE would be responsible for such as the production of the Shrinkage and Leakage Model (SLM), how the National Leakage Tests (NLT) are updated/replaces through innovation, including development of principles of impartiality, emissions reduction, and with the aim of identifying best outcomes for end-consumers.
