Ontario Reliability Compliance Program
Requirements Form
NERC Reliability Standard: PER-005-1
System Personnel Training
NOTICE TO MARKET PARTICIPANTS: The market rules require market participants to provide to
the IESO such data as may be required and within the time prescribed by the IESO for reliability purposes
and to enable the IESO to satisfy a request by a standards authority (ref Chapter 5, sections 14.1.2 and
14.1.4). The IESO has developed the Ontario Reliability Compliance Program (ORCP) to assist market
participants in meeting these obligations. As part of the ORCP, market participants are required to
submit to the IESO electronic certification forms using the IESO Reliability Compliance Tool accessed
via the IESO Web Portal.
This requirements form does not replace the electronic certification forms. Rather, it is primarily
intended for use by the IESO when the Reliability Compliance Tool becomes unavailable for use.
Terms and acronyms used in this Form that are italicized have the meanings ascribed thereto in Chapter
11 of the “Market Rules”.
