It facilitates drafters of product safety standards and other stakeholders such as designers, manufacturers, se rvice providers, policy makers and regulators to consider safety aspects for the intended use and the reasonably foreseeable misuse of these components in its products and systems and apply risk reduction measures to achieve a tolerable risk level.

The purpose of this document is to define data communication services and protocols for computer equipment used for monitoring and control of HVAC&R and other building systems and to define, in addition, an abstract, object-oriented representation of information communicated between such equipment, thereby facilitating the application and use of digital control technology in buildings.

IEC 81346-14:2026, published jointly by IEC and ISO, provides, in combination with IEC 81346‑1 and IEC 81346‑2, rules and recommendations on the structuring of systems and the information on systems of manufacturing systems. It also provides additional classification schemes to those of IEC 81346‑2 for use in reference designations within manufacturing systems. It is published as a double logo standard.
The structuring principles and the classes of objects are intended to provide a clear identification and localization of the objects, and for use in their labelling in the manufacturing plant, for their designation in technical documents and for the designation of the technical documents as well.
The requirements in this document apply for processing, transportation and storage of products, as well as for systems to support the manufacturing process such as electrical systems, management systems and waste disposal systems.
This document applies to different areas within the manufacturing industry such as light industry, electrical and optical industry, chemical industry, material industry and heavy industry.
This document is not applicable for designations related to product individuals (e.g. inventory number, serial number) nor to the products manufactured.
This document is also a horizontal publication intended for use by technical committees in preparation of publications related to reference designations in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108.

IEC 62680-1-2:2026, the USB Power Delivery specification defines a power delivery system covering all elements of a USB system including USB Hosts, USB Devices, Hubs, Chargers and cable assemblies. This specification describes the architecture, protocols, power supply behavior, connectors and cabling necessary for managing power delivery over USB at up to 100W in SPR Mode and 240W in EPR Mode. This specification is intended to be fully compatible with and extend the existing USB infrastructure. It is intended that this specification will allow system OEMs, power supply and Peripheral developers adequate flexibility for product versatility and market differentiation without losing backwards compatibility.
IEC 62680-1-2:2026 cancels and replaces the seventh edition published in 2024 and constitutes a technical revision.

This document applies to decorative, automatically controlled fireplaces for domestic use, producing a flame using liquid alcohol, hereafter referred to as fuel, for decoration.
NOTE 1   The requirements outlined in this document can be applied even outside domestic settings. In that case additional or different rules on the use of the fireplaces can apply.
This document applies to decorative fireplaces that do not require manual user interaction during normal operation. These fireplaces include electric or electronic components that control the basic operation (incl. automatic filling system).
NOTE 2   These components control the safe operation and avoid hazards such as:
—   Fuel spillage while filling
—   Overfilling
—   Fuel explosion while igniting
—   Accidental ignition while refilling
—   Overheating
—   Unsuccessful extinguishing
The document applies only to fireplaces for use in indoor areas.
This document applies to free-standing, wall-mounted and built-in fireplaces.
This document applies to fireplaces ready for use, whose burner is an integral component of the fireplace.
This document does not apply to fireplaces specifically designed for heating food or keeping food warm (rechauds), as well as to fireplaces for use in boats, caravans, other.
This document does not apply to fireplaces with declared heating function.
This document does not apply to fireplaces, that are connected to a flue.
NOTE 3   Because of the safety component of automatically operated fireplaces this scope is not limited to a specific heat output or fuel consumption. Regarding heat output limits, national legislation can apply.

This document specifies methods of measurement of electrical power in networked standby mode and the reporting of the results for edge equipment.
The measurement of power and energy use in non-active mode, other than networked standby mode, is covered by IEC 62301 [1], including the input voltage range.
This document applies to edge equipment that is powered by:
– low voltage mains AC power (LV ≤ 1 000 V AC), or
– an external power supply that provides low voltage (LV ≤ 1 000 V) or extra low voltage (ELV ≤ 50 V) AC or DC power, or
– a separate source of extra low voltage DC power (ELV ≤ 50 V DC), or
– an internal main battery.
Conditions that are outside the scope of this document are as follows:
– active modes (primary function),
– other non-active modes (which are either covered by IEC 62301 [1] or by specific product group standards),
– conditions where main batteries are being charged other than in maintenance mode,
– disconnected condition of the equipment.
This document applies to the following product groups where a networked standby mode is present:
– edge equipment with a network reactivation function, such as household appliances, information technology equipment, audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment,
– digital radio receivers with an emergency warning function,
– gas burning equipment with electrical components.
NOTE 1 The measurements of power, energy use and performance of products during their intended use (when performing their primary functions) are generally specified in product standards and are not covered by this document.
NOTE 2 Networked standby mode for lighting equipment and the measurement of power is specified in IEC 63103 [4].
NOTE 3 Interconnecting equipment (equipment that provides network infrastructure and function) is outside the scope of this document. Measurement of electrical power in networked standby mode for interconnecting equipment is the subject of ETSI standard EN 303 423 [5].
This document also provides a method to test power management and to test whether it is possible to deactivate wireless network connection(s).
NOTE 4 Edge equipment can also include auxiliary batteries.
This group EE publication is primarily intended to be used as an EE standard for the products mentioned in the scope, but is also intended to be used by TCs in the preparation of publications for products which are included in the boundary mentioned in the scope of this document.

This document provides two broad types of requirements for the determination and use of meteorological and oceanographic (metocean) conditions for the design, construction and operation of offshore structures:
those related to the determination of environmental conditions in general, together with the metocean parameters that are required to adequately describe them;
those related to the characterization and use of metocean parameters for the design, the construction activities or the operation of offshore structures.
This document covers the following environmental conditions and metocean parameters:
extreme and abnormal values of metocean parameters that recur with given return periods that are considerably longer than the design service life of the structure;
long-term distributions of metocean parameters in the form of cumulative, conditional, marginal or joint statistics of metocean parameters;
normal environmental conditions that are expected to occur frequently during the design service life of the structure.
Metocean parameters specified in this document are applicable to:
the determination of actions for the design of new structures;
the determination of actions for the assessment of existing structures;
the site-specific assessment of mobile offshore units;
the determination of limiting environmental conditions, weather windows, actions and action effects for pre-service and post-service situations (i.e. fabrication, transportation and installation or decommissioning and removal of a structure);
the operation of the platform, where appropriate.
It is beyond the scope of this document to provide detailed instructions that can be followed to produce reliable estimates of extreme or abnormal conditions in all areas and in all cases.
