Is this an overhead or underground service?
I live in PG&E territory and they have very strict requirements and follow EUSERC rules very closely. If your are dealing with an overhead service then you are only allowed the load conductors from the meter to be in the meter socket area. If you have an underground service the you must provide an underground pull section that can not contain any customer conductors. What is the part number of the panel you used? All the manufactures make service entrance devices that comply to the EUSERC requirements including Murray and Square D. We install them everyday! It is up to the buyer to make sure the model they are getting meets the requirements for their particular installation. If you purchased this panel from a local supply house they should know which equipment to stock for your area.
