Consultation on Code 15 amendments to Requirement 3.2.10 and Annex 1

01 March 2023

The PSA is consulting on changes to its Code of Practice to address consumer detriment in the Information, Connection, Sign-posting Services (ICSS) market.

The PSA reviewed the consumer experience of ICSS over a period of 12 months and found consumer detriment is widespread.

The PSA is therefore proposing to amend the Code to:

  • reduce detriment associated with consumer misunderstanding
  • limit detriment caused by high call costs
  • reduce the risk of forced cut-offs that result in consumer detriment.

The closing date for this consultation is 19 April 2023.
