FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
specification when
• the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard,
despite repeated efforts, or
• the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the
future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard.
Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide
whether they can be transformed into International Standards.
IEC 62325-502, which is a technical specification, has been prepared by IEC technical
committee 57: Power systems management and associated information exchange.

This would also include the specification of some options/parameters not yet specified in the profile, Annex A.

The IEC 62325 series cancels and replaces IEC 62195 (2000) and its amendment (2002).
It constitutes a technical revision.
IEC 62195 (2000) dealt with deregulated energy market communications at an early stage. Its
amendment 1 (2002) points out important technological advancements which make it possible
to use modern internet technologies based on XML for e-business in energy markets as an
alternative to traditional EDI with EDIFACT and X12. The new IEC 62325 framework series for
energy market communications currently consisting of IEC 62325-101, IEC 62325-102,
IEC 62325-501, and IEC 62325-502 follows this direction and replaces IEC 62195 together
with its amendment.
The text of this technical specification is based on the following documents:
Enquiry draft Report on voting
57/707/DTS 57/724/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical specification can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
IEC 62325 consists of the following parts, under the general title Framework for energy
market communications:
Part 101: General guidelines
Part 102: Energy market model example
Part 201: Glossary
Part 3XX: (Titles are still to be determined)
Part 401: Abstract service model
Part 501: General guidelines for use of ebXML
Part 502: Profile of ebXML
Part 503: Abstract service mapping to ebXML
Part 601: General guidelines for use of web services
Part 602: Profile of Web Services
Part 603: Abstract service mapping to web services

INTRODUCTION
With the transition of monopoly energy supply structures to deregulated energy markets, the
function of the markets depends heavily on seamless e-business communication between
market participants. Compared with global e-business, e-business in the energy market is
only a small niche. Today EDIFACT or X12 messages, or propriety HTML and XML solutions
based on Internet technologies are being used.
The ‘electronic business Extensible Markup Language’ (ebXML) specification and architecture
stems from UN/CEFACT and OASIS and these are now partly standards within the ISO 15000
series being complemented in future to cover all aspects of ebXML. ebXML is a complete set
of specifications and standards to enable secure electronic business using proven, open
standards such as TCP/IP, HTTP, SOAP, XML, and SOAP signature and encryptation. ebXML
is also evolutionary in nature, built on 25 years of EDI experience, designed to work with
existing EDI solutions, or be used to develop an emerging class of internet based electronic
business applications based on XML. This means that with ebXML existing EDI messages
(EDIFACT, X.12) as well as XML messages can be exchanged.
Profiles of ebXML allow the re-use of proven core components and communication platforms
across markets, thus saving cost and implementation time.
