Part 6: Governance of Gas and Electricity Industry Codes Section 184: Designation of central systems
A ’designated central system’ is an IT system connected with the maintenance, operation, or data storage of a designated document. Each one of these systems has a ‘responsible body’ who is responsible for operating, or procuring the operation of, these systems.
	This section empowers the Secretary of State to create lists of designated central systems and responsible bodies, which will be used to identify which systems and bodies fall within the scope of these reforms. It also establishes a process so that these lists can be amended over time, such as when a new system is created or the identity of a responsible body changes.
