AMENDMENT 2
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 itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
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) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). [IEC/IEC and ISO] [takes/take] no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any
claimed patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received
notice of (a) patent(s), which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned
that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
https://patents.iec.ch or www.iso.org/patents. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such
patent rights.
Amendment 2 to IEC 61850-6:2009 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 57: Power
systems management and associated information exchange.
This second amendment constitutes a technical revision.
The main changes with respect to IEC 61850-6:2009+AMD1:2018 are as follows:
a) functional extensions concerning the engineering process to improve files exchange
followup, SCL elements identification and control configuration handling, added;

b) provision of clarifications and corrections. Issues that require clarification are published in
a database available at https://iec61850.tissue-db.com/. Arising incompatibilities are listed
in 8.2.3.
The text of this Amendment is based on the following documents:
Draft Report on voting
57/2711/FDIS 57/2733/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this Amendment is English.
This document was drafted in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2, and developed in
accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available
at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are
described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications/.
A list of all the parts in the IEC 61850 series, under the general title Communication networks
and systems for power utility automation, can be found on the IEC website.
This IEC standard includes Code Components i.e. components that are intended to be directly
processed by a computer. Such content is any text found between the markers
BEGINS> and , or otherwise is clearly labelled in this standard as a Code
Component. In the current version of this document, such indication is made at the beginning
of Annex A which identifies the list of XSD files and refers to the code component definition in
section 1.3.
The purchase of this IEC standard carries a copyright license for the purchaser to sell software
containing Code Components from this standard directly to end users and to end users via
distributors, subject to IEC software licensing conditions, which can be found at:
http://www.iec.ch/CCv1.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the
specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn, or
• revised.

INTRODUCTION
This amendment and consolidated edition bring two distinct sets of changes:
1) Resolved Interop Issues (covered by the table below) which have already followed the
technical issues (Tissues) process as described in IEC 61850-1 and have reached the green
"status".
2) Resolved Editorial Tissues which may have led to interoperability issues.
The resolutions of these issues which led to these changes are described in greater detail in
the Tissue database hosted at https://iec61850.tissue-db.com/.
The only new features compared to the previous IEC 61850-6:2009+AMD1:2018 are the
introduction of the UUID to identify elements and files, the modelling of controls binding from a
client perspective, and the definition of translated labels for elements which may be represented
in any user interface. Apart from this, this amendment strictly respects the scope of the original
edition.
Technical issues summary
N°, Subject, Clause and Paragraph are as they appear on the Tissue database hosted at
https://iec61850.tissue-db.com/ where all technical issues have been stored from the origin of
IEC 61850.
"Subject" defines very briefly the topic under focus.
