61 Digital Nameplate
63 FOREWORD
64 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
65 all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
66 co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
67 in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
68 Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
69 preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
70 may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
71 with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
72 Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
73 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
74 consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
75 interested IEC National Committees.76 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
77 Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
78 Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
79 misinterpretation by any end user.80 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
81 transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
82 any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
83 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
84 assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
85 services carried out by independent certification bodies.86 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
87 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
88 members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
89 other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
90 expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
91 Publications.92 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
93 indispensable for the correct application of this publication.94 9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
95 rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
96 IEC 63365 has been prepared by subcommittee SC65E: Devices and integration in enterprise
97 systems, of IEC technical committee TC65: Industrial Process Measurement, control and
98 automation. It is an International Standard.99 The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

116 INTRODUCTION
117 The primary purpose of a nameplate is to clearly identify the device and its manufacturer. Legal
118 marks or approval symbols indicate conformity with the regulations for placing the device on
119 the market and for safe use.120 The project "Digital Nameplate" was started in response to the needs of manufacturers of
121 explosion-protected equipment and operators of electrical plants in explosion hazardous areas.
122 One objective is to ensure that all of the necessary information can be marked on the
123 equipment, particularly considering the extent of the information required in the field of
124 explosion protection. The requirements for marking products for the global markets have
125 become as extensive that it is often no longer possible to include all of the necessary
126 information on the nameplate, especially of smaller products (e.g. sensors). As an example, in
127 Europe different EU Directives and harmonized standards may apply to the same product, e.g.
128 for electric safety, explosion safety, safety of machinery, pressure safety or food safety. If the
129 product will be sold worldwide additional markings and approval symbols are required, e.g. IEC
130 Ex marking, Ex marking for the North American market, UK CA marking for UK, EAC for the
131 Eurasian Economic Area, RCM for Australia or CCC for China.132 Within the context of smart manufacturing, it is also anticipated that products will have to be
133 electronically identifiable in future. Equipment manufacturers can use machine-readable
134 marking in the production process to automatically control the material flow by using a barcode.
135 Operators can easily identify the product at the incoming inspection.Service engineers or the
136 responsible authorities can electronically check all the required data and information for the
137 application and safe use. The data from the machine-readable nameplate can be transmitted
138 directly to an ERP system (Enterprise Resource Planning system) for error-free stocktaking.
139 Operators and users have access to the device data in digital format.140 One intention of the (offline) digital nameplate is to reduce the required space of the
141 conventional nameplate. In the long term it is expected that the digital nameplate can replace
142 the conventional text on the nameplate saving a lot of space, especially on small products.
143 This standard describes alternative electronically-readable solutions to the current,
144 conventional, plain text marking on the nameplate or packaging. It describes marking
145 technologies that use 2D codes, transponders or the firmware of the products. In the case of a
146 2D code or transponder, the stored data can be read by commonly available scanning devices,
147 e.g. smartphones. If the marking is stored in the firmware of the product, the nameplate can be
148 shown, for example, on the product display or the data can be read via an electronic interface
149 remotely.150 Furthermore, the IEC 61406 is in development for a unique product identification via an
151 Identification Link. That standard enables manufacturers to provide all product related data and
152 documents via an Internet address in an electronic format. Product documentation such as
153 technical information, operating instructions and product certificates can be downloaded. That
154 standard defines a specific 2D or RFID code, which contains only the Identification Link string
155 with limited characters. In the IEC 63365 the Identification Link string is included as the first
156 property in the digital nameplate, followed by the detailed marking properties. If an Internet
157 connection to the manufacturer's website is available, additional product data (digital twin) and
158 documentation can be accessed.159 This document is also intended to increase acceptance of digital nameplates among legislative
160 bodies. A long-term goal is to replace the conventional nameplate with an electronically
161 readable nameplate as far as possible. Regulators require marking to be applied to devices
162 permanently, clearly and legibly. This requirement might be met with digital marking as well.
163 Digital nameplates that are permanently affixed to the product and provide the necessary data
164 without the need for an Internet connection come very close to plain text marking. To ensure
165 greater acceptance, the nameplate must show a minimum amount of marking in plain text.
166 During a transition period, both, the plain text and the digital marking can be applied

167 simultaneously at the product. Today electronic marking is being increasingly implemented and
168 accepted on the international markets.169 ISO/IEC 22603-1 was recently published and specifies a digital label representating the product
170 marking. But that standard provides the product marking via a link to a Webserver which
171 contains the relevant information and does not contain the marking directly in the digital code.

174 Digital Nameplate
175 1 Scope
176 This standard applies to products used in the process measurement, control and automation
177 industry. It establishes a concept and requirements for the digital nameplate and provides
178 alternative electronically readable solutions (e.g. 2D codes, RFID or firmware) to current
179 conventional plain text marking on the nameplate or packaging of products.180 The Digital Nameplate information is contained in the electronically readable medium affixed to
181 the product, the packaging or accompanying documents. The Digital Nameplate information is
182 available offline without Internet connection. After electronic reading, all Digital Nameplate
183 information is displayed in a human readable text format. The Digital Nameplate also includes
184 the Identification Link String according to IEC 61406 which provides additional online
185 information of the product.186 This standard does not specify the contents of the conventional nameplate, which are subject
187 to regional or national regulations and standards.188 2 Normative references

252 4 Contents of the digital code
253 General
254 The information according to Annex A may be added in a digital code to the nameplate.
255 The digital code256 • may store all information required by regional or national regulations and
257 • may contain additional information provided by the manufacturer.
258 Marks and symbols cannot be converted into the digital code on the nameplate, but may be
259 provided in the firmware. All information provided in the digital code that is not required
260 specifically in plain text by regional or national regulations can be removed from the human
261 readable text of the nameplate.262 Note For security reasons a 2D reader that asks the user to activate a link to the URL is recommended. In general,
263 if the link is not activated, the embedded text is shown.264 Data structure of the digital code
265 The information listed in Annex A can be converted into digital format. The data shall be
266 structured according to the following three categories:267 • Basic information
268 • Technical specification
269 • Certificates
270 The first information of the digital nameplate should be an Identification Link string as per IEC
271 61406. This enables standard scanners to interpret the first line as a URL and, if an Internet
272 connection is available, to link to a product database.273 An example of a conventional nameplate is shown in the upper part of Figure 1. This
274 nameplate represents an industrial level meter with several international certificates as an
275 explosion protected device. Due to the amount of information this nameplate occupies a large
276 area of 80 cm².277 In the lower part of Figure 1 the corresponding digital nameplate is shown with the basic
278 information and the conformity symbols still visible in plaint text. The complete marking is
279 converted into the digital code. The digital nameplate including QR Code occupies an area of
280 42,5 cm², which is approximately half of the size of the conventional nameplate above.
281 The scan of the QR Code using a smartphone with standard scanner software is also shown
282 in Figure 1. The complete text marking including basic information is visible on the screen and
283 can be stored or transfered as a textfile.284

318 Data description with characteristic names
319 The scanned digital code is human readable. For the correct interpretation of complex
320 nameplate data, the individual items of a nameplate can be described with characteristic names.
321 This requires more characters in the digital code and is illustrated for the example of an electric
322 motor in table 1. The digital nameplate with QR Code containing a general data description with
323 characteristic names is shown in Figure 2.324 Table 1 – Example of a nameplate with a general data description
