REQUIREMENTS CONCERNING THE INTEROPERABILITY
BETWEEN ELECTROMECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL APPLICATIONS

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 addi-
tion 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 en-
trusted 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 inter-
ested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Com-
mittees 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 trans-
parently 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 mem-
bers 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 aris-
ing 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 indis-
pensable 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.
A PAS is a technical specification not fulfilling the requirements for a standard but made avail-
able to the public.

mentation and graphical symbols.

Following publication of this PAS, which is a pre-standard publication, the technical committee
or subcommittee concerned will transform it into an International Standard.
This PAS shall remain valid for an initial maximum period of three years starting from
2007-09. The validity may be extended for a single three-year period, following which it shall be
revised to become another type of normative document or shall be withdrawn.

INTRODUCTION
During the preparation of several international IEC standards, especially ISO/IEC 10303-212,
the question arose as to how to deal with the requirements concerning the physical layout of
cubicles, panels, boards, in which devices of different size and of any product class are used,
defining the requirements for their installation, service and operation.
The existing definitions on the national level as well as the definitions on the international level
do not suffice to supply, process and exchange the data in a computer-sensible form with part-
ners in a process chain. This includes, for example, the installation of devices using robots as
well as the semi- or automatic wiring in cubicles.
