This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2006-12-01. CENELEC members are bound to comply
with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard
the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified
to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Cyprus, the
Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain,
Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Foreword
The text of document 13/1388/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 62056-61, prepared by IEC TC 13, Equipment
for electrical energy measurement and load control, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote
and was approved by CENELEC as EN 62056-61 on 2006-12-01.
This European Standard supersedes EN 62056-61:2002.
It includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 62056-61:2002:
– some parts of the “Manufacturer specific” ranges have been changed to “Reserved” to open code
space for future standard code purposes;
– “Utility specific” ranges have been allocated;
– “Consortia specific” codes similar to “Country specific” codes have been introduced;
– a table explaining the rules for “Manufacturer specific”, “Country specific” and “Consortia specific”
codes has been added;
– new time integral types of quantities have been added, some definitions have been clarified;
– new OBIS codes to identify transformer and line loss quantities, voltage dips, power failures, statuses,
etc. have been added;
– some list objects and profiles may be now abstract or electricity related;
– a second billing period counter mechanism has been added and the description of handling value
group F has been amended.
The following dates were fixed:
– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented
at national level by publication of an identical
national standard or by endorsement (dop) 2007-09-01
– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
with the EN have to be withdrawn (dow) 2009-12-01
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and CENELEC draw attention to the fact that it is
claimed that compliance with this International Standard / European Standard may involve the use of a
maintenance service concerning the stack of protocols on which the present standard IEC 62056-61 /
EN 62056-61 is based.
The IEC and CENELEC take no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of this maintenance
service.
The provider of the maintenance service has assured the IEC that he is willing to provide services under
reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions with applicants throughout the world. In this
respect, the statement of the provider of the maintenance service is registered with the IEC. Information
