MCP-SO and RSP-mini achieve federal Canadian verification
Published Monday, May 19, 2025
Mississauga, ON – Sieco-Tech, North America’s leader in sub-metering innovation, is proud to announce its revolutionary electrical sub-meter residential systems — the MCP-SO and RSP-mini — have obtained official Measurement Canada approval — and are now available for sale and deployment across the country.
With approvals secured, Sieco-Tech now brings to market two of the most accessible, service-friendly, and installation-efficient electrical submetering solutions available for residential multi-customer and in-suite metering.
“The MCP-SO and RSP-mini deliver everything our customers expect — performance, compliance, and long-term reliability — at price points that frankly, no one else can touch. These meters install faster, maintain easier,” — Ron Pitman, VP of Research & Development and Operations, Sieco-Tech
Driven by in-industry professionals and real-world insights, Sieco-Tech has been committed to driving down the costs of sub-metering with innovative, quality multi-unit metering solutions since 2006. The latest Measurement Canada certifications — both approved in late 2024 — validate years of research and design dedicated to solving the sub-metering industry's toughest operational and aesthetic challenges in multi-tenant residential applications.
Measurement Canada Approval
Measurement Canada sets strict requirements for metering devices used in billing applications. Certified products must meet rigorous standards for design accuracy, data retention, communication integrity, and long-term stability under various conditions. This includes physical inspection readiness, firmware security, legal metrology sealing, and re-verification compatibility.
Certified for U.S. Markets, Too
Both the MCP-SO and RSP-mini are also now ANSI C12.20 certified, having passed rigorous U.S. standards for metering accuracy and performance. This dual approval further positions Sieco-Tech for growth in both the Canadian and American markets.

MCP-SO
Multi-Residential Metering Reimagined
Engineered as a streamlined variant of the original MCP, the MCP-SO brings the same modular architecture to residential electrical rooms but omits the DCU, making it an even more affordable and space-efficient solution.
Each meter module includes its own built-in display, power supply, and communication capability — with G3-PLC supported out of the box and RF-mesh and Ethernet models on the horizon.
Installation teams and maintenance crews will appreciate the MCP-SO’s shared DNA with the flagship MCP. All components are designed to be accessible, swappable, and secure, reducing long-term service costs and streamlining verification workflows.
“The MCP-SO fills a sweet spot in the market — it’s ideal for high-density residential metering where the full capabilities of the MCP aren’t needed. It’s lean, reliable, and installs without complexity,” says Pitman.
Key Highlights:
- Transformer-rated system metering up to 12 services in one panel
- Certified configurations for 2- and 3-element residential metering at 120V
- Six-month flash storage ensures robust energy data retention
- Supports installation via G3-PLC gateways or RS485 PLC nodes
- Designed for fast servicing, with individual modules that can be replaced without touching the rest of the system
RSP-mini
Electrical Sub-Meter for Any Residential Suite
The RSP-mini is a purpose-built, in-suite metering solution — not a retrofitted industrial device. Building on the advantages of Sieco-Tech’s standard single-point RSP meter, the RSP-mini is the smallest complete in-apartment metering package on the market, designed to integrate discreetly and attractively into residential interiors.
Unlike legacy solutions that require cutting large holes for steel boxes and DIN rail mounts, the RSP-mini installs like a thermostat — solving some of the most common problems for modernizing residential buildings with submetering systems.
“With most competitor products, re-verification means shutting off power and pulling out an entire meter box from someone’s living room wall. We designed the RSP-mini to make that entire process fast, clean, and low-impact — you’re in and out of the suite in five minutes,” says Pitman.
The design isn’t just clever — it’s strategic. It reduces installation labor, eliminates the need for post-construction patching, and allows full accessibility for users to view meter readings.
Key Highlights:
- Fully integrated communications with no need for external modules: Lynked RF-mesh communication comes standard, with optional models supporting G3-PLC.
- Tool-less disconnection of terminals for rapid Measurement Canada re-verification
- Multiple seals to prevent additional re-verification during maintenance
- No wall finishing required — installed directly in drywall with a clean aesthetic
- Optional breaker compartment for regulatory compliance in provinces like Ontario
Built for Versatile, Long-Term Performance
Both MCP-SO and the RSP-mini are engineered for real-world deployment across Canada. The MCP-SO is tested to operate reliably in environments from -25°C to +53°C, ensuring performance from coast to coast. The RSP-mini is designed with a modular internal architecture that makes maintenance, upgrades, and re-verification fast and inexpensive.
Measurement Canada mandates S-E-O2 accuracy re-verification every 6–10 years. Where other systems require suite shutdowns and additional reverification steps, Sieco-Tech’s electrical products feature modularity and multiple utility seals to compartmentalise maintenance throughout the life of the meter. Every component is modular: power supply, communication card, and meter head can be swapped independently, reducing additional service calls required for S-E-04 re-verification and minimizing suite disruption.
That means fewer costly truck rolls, less labor time, and no surprises in long-term costs.
Transforming the Economics of Sub-Metering
Whether installed in an electrical room or in a tenant’s living space, Sieco-Tech electrical sub-meter residential solutions are designed to lower total cost of ownership.
With the MCP-SO, installers benefit from a modular system that minimizes service complexity. With the RSP-mini, building owners avoid costly in-suite construction and gain future-proof flexibility.
- Estimated 25% installation cost savings for in-suite metering with RSP-mini
- Up to 66% lower long-term service costs compared to legacy panels
- Communications hardware is built-in, avoiding expensive add-ons
For sub-metering companies, this means more predictable maintenance, easier compliance, and faster deployments. For developers and property managers, it means satisfied tenants and lower operational costs over the building’s lifecycle.
