<p>Where we explain what Sandbox and Derogation trials are</p>
A Derogation is a temporary exemption from, or a relaxation or an exception of, a REC obligation
A Sandbox trial enables organisations to trial new products, services or business models without being subject to the usual rules that might apply.
A Sandbox trial can help inform decisions about improvements or changes that might be beneficial.
REC Parties may apply for a Derogation directly or may have entered the process via a Sandbox application to trial new products, services or business models in the market.
Any Party to the REC may apply for a Derogation or Sandbox trial to the Performance Assurance Board.
