(Main)Industrial process measurement, control and automation - Digital nameplate
Industrial process measurement, control and automation - Digital nameplate
IEC 63365:2022 applies to products used in the process measurement, control and automation industry. It establishes a concept and requirements for the digital nameplate and provides alternative electronically readable solutions (e.g. 2D codes, RFID or firmware) to current conventional plain text marking on the nameplate or packaging of products.
The digital nameplate information is contained in the electronically readable medium affixed to the product, the packaging or accompanying documents. The digital nameplate information is available offline without Internet connection. After electronic reading, all digital nameplate information is displayed in a human readable text format. The digital nameplate also includes the Identification Link String according to IEC 61406-1 which provides additional online information for the product.
This document does not specify the contents of the conventional nameplate, which are subject to regional or national regulations and standards.
Mesurage, commande et automatisation dans les processus industriels – Plaque signalétique numérique
L'IEC 63365:2022 s'applique aux produits utilisés pour le mesurage, la commande et l'automatisation des processus industriels. Elle établit un concept ainsi que les exigences pour la plaque signalétique numérique, et fournit des solutions (codes 2D, RIFD ou micrologiciel, par exemple) lisibles électroniquement en alternative aux actuels marquages conventionnels en texte simple inscrits sur la plaque signalétique ou sur l'emballage des produits.
Les informations relatives à la plaque signalétique numérique sont contenues dans le support lisible électroniquement apposé sur le produit, sur l'emballage ou sur les documents d'accompagnement. Les informations relatives à la plaque signalétique numérique sont disponibles hors ligne, sans connexion à Internet. Après lecture électronique, toutes les informations relatives à la plaque signalétique numérique sont affichées dans un format texte lisible par l'homme. La plaque signalétique numérique contient également la chaîne de lien d'identification conformément à l'IEC 61406-1, qui fournit des informations en ligne supplémentaires sur le produit.
Le présent document ne spécifie pas le contenu de la plaque signalétique conventionnelle, qui est soumis à des réglementations et des normes régionales ou nationales.

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
