IEC 63002:2016

Identification and communication interoperability method for external power supplies used with portable computing devices

IEC 63002:20016 defines interoperability guidelines for external power supplies used with portable computing devices that implement the IEC 62680-1-2: Universal Serial Bus Power Delivery Specification with the IEC 62680-1-3: Universal Serial Bus Interfaces for data and power-Common Components- Type-CTM Type-C Cable and Connector Specification. It specifies the data objects used by a portable computing system using IEC 62680-1-2 to understand the identity, design and performance characteristics, and operating status of an external power supply. This International Standard is applicable to external power supplies under 100 watts for portable computing devices, with a focus on power delivery application for notebook computers, tablets, smartphones and other related multimedia devices.

Méthode d'identification et d'interopérabilité des communications des alimentations externes utilisées avec les dispositifs informatiques portatifs

L'IEC 63002:20016 définit les lignes directrices en matière d'interopérabilité des alimentations externes utilisées avec les dispositifs informatiques portatifs mis en oeuvre dans le cadre de l'IEC 62680-1-2: Universal Serial Bus Power Delivery Specification avec l'IEC 62680-1-3: Universal Serial Bus Interfaces for data and power - Common Components - Type-CTM Type-C Cable and Connector Specification (disponible en anglais seulement). Elle spécifie les objets de données utilisés par un système informatique portatif s'appuyant sur l'IEC 62680-1-2 pour appréhender les caractéristiques d'identité, de conception et de performances, ainsi que l'état de fonctionnement d'une alimentation externe. La présente Norme internationale s'applique à des alimentations externes de moins de 100 watts destinées à des dispositifs informatiques portatifs, en mettant l'accent sur l'application de distribution de puissance pour les ordinateurs portables, les tablettes, les terminaux de poche et autres dispositifs multimédia connexes.

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
