What value should you use for the field "Contract Capacity"?

The EFET eCM Standard states that the 'Contract capacity' field is Mandatory for all trades submitted with section TIME INTERVAL QUANTITIES (1-N).

The 'Contract Capacity' is "the contract capacity of the commodity that has been negotiated".

The field has the rule type, 'QuantityType' which is defined as:

The number of occurrences of an object. Positive quantities shall not have a sign. A quantity may be expressed up to 8 decimal places, dot-separated and with leading zeros suppressed.

The number of EUA Certificates. Positive quantities shall not have a sign. A quantity shall always be expressed as a whole number (integer) up to 8 figures in length, with leading zeros suppressed e.g. 1 to 99.999.999

So in summary, it is for you and your counterparty to decide what the value is, as long as it meets the requirements of the 'QuantityType' field type as described above.
