This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1997. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Models and text are modified to provide more detail and clarity. Key clarifications are:
1) Two types of equipment modules are defined: generic and recipe-aware. All recipe-aware equipment modules contain procedural control and can be used as phases in the recipe.
2) Execution of all procedural control contained directly in units is part of the Unit Supervision activity.
3) The relationships between types of recipes, recipe components, and equipment control are more fully described and illustrated.
4) Entity relationship diagrams have been replaced with more intuitive UML instance diagrams, except for the equipment entity model.
5) The transition diagram for the procedural states example has been updated with a more intuitive and complete UML state diagram.
6) References to other standards in the series and to IEC 62264 are included to provide direction for further clarification of selected topics.
7) Activity names are capitalised to help prevent confusion with similar terms, such as their underlying functions.
b) Previous Clauses 4 through 6 (now Clauses 4 through 8) were rearranged to provide a clearer top-down organisation of the document. Key changes are:
1) Removing the lower levels of the physical (role-based equipment) model (see 4.4.2) to eliminate redundancy because their groupings are defined by the associated functionality in the equipment entity model and are not meaningful for batch control without those associations.
2) Describing equipment control and the equipment entity model immediately after the physical (role-based equipment) model and describing each level as completely as possible without excessive use of forward references (see 4.4.3).
3) Combining the descriptions of basic, procedural, and coordination control with their usage in each type of equipment entity, providing a single consolidated discussion of each type of control (see Clause 5)
4) Additional considerations to support application of the models have been grouped in Clause 7 to clarify their supporting relationship to the core models.
c) Clause 9 was added to define completeness, compliance, and conformance in relation to this document.
d) Annex B was added to provide a more expansive procedural state reference model. The model found in Clause 7 can be considered a collapsed version of this more general model.
e) Annex C was added to clarify a number of points concerning the models, their application, and the new Clause 9 on conformance and compliance.
f) Annex E was added to more fully describe the changes in this update to IEC 61512-1:1997.

IEC 62541-2:2026 describes the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) security model. It describes the security threats of the physical, hardware, and software environments in which OPC UA is expected to run. It describes how OPC UA relies upon other standards for security. It provides definition of common security terms that are used in this and other parts of the IEC 62541 series. It gives an overview and concept of the security features that are specified in other parts of the series. It references services, mappings, and Profiles that are specified normatively in other parts of the 62541 series. It provides suggestions or best practice guidelines on implementing security. Any seeming ambiguity between this document and one of the other normative parts does not remove or reduce the requirement specified in the other normative part.
There are many different aspects of security that are addressed when developing applications. However, since OPC UA specifies a communication protocol, the focus is on securing the data exchanged between applications. This does not mean that an application developer can ignore the other aspects of security like protecting persistent data against tampering. It is important that the developers look into all aspects of security and decide how they can be addressed in the application. Common security features for industrial Controls are defined in IEC 62443-4-2 and OPC UA defined a relationship to them in Annex A.
This document is directed to readers who will develop OPC UA applications. It is also for end Users that wish to understand the various security features and functionality provided by OPC UA. It also offers some recommendations that can be applied when deploying systems. These recommendations are generic in nature since the details would depend on the actual implementation of the OPC UA applications and the choices made for the site security.
This edition cancels and replaces the third edition of IEC TR 62541-2, published in 2020.This edition constitutes a technical revision.

This document gives guidance for pro-rata multi-habitat sampling of benthic macroinvertebrates in rivers and streams.

It is an objective way to divide sampling effort among the different habitats.
This document is applicable to all flowing waters, both artificial, modified and natural. It enables comparable samples to be collected from any type of river, regardless of the habitats present.
This document gives guidance on an overall approach rather than a specific method.
This document is applicable to:
- supporting environmental and conservation agencies, water boards, and water agencies to meet the monitoring requirements of the WFD (Article 8, Annex II, and Annex V) [1];
- generating data sets appropriate for monitoring and reporting of sites designated under the Habitats Directive and the Birds Directive to ensure that samples for comparing the overall composition of invertebrates from different stream types are comparable;
- ensuring samples for environmental quality assessments across different stream types are comparable even when sampled by different people;
- supporting river management and restoration initiatives;
- sampling sites in a consistent way that is not dependent on the presence of particular types of habitat; a user-friendly strategy for collecting biological data depending on the distribution of habitats;
- understanding the distribution of biological community types across different physical river types; and
- assessing quality based on deviation from reference, as adopted in the European Water Framework Directive [1].
