Overview

SIST EN IEC 61987-100:2025 is an international standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and adopted by CLC, focusing on industrial-process measurement and control. This standard specifies the data structures and key elements in process equipment catalogues, serving as a database standard for process measurement, control, and automation equipment. It supports semantic data definition necessary for process automation, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and smart manufacturing. By providing a structured framework for classifying and describing automation products with consistent classes and properties, it facilitates machine-readable communication and efficient data exchange throughout the product lifecycle.

The standard is published via the IEC Common Data Dictionary (IEC CDD), an authoritative online system hosting standardized data dictionaries aligned with IEC 61360-2 and ISO 13584-42 methodologies, enabling unambiguous interoperability and consistent product data sharing.

Key Topics

• Semantic Data Structures: Defines the semantic content required for process automation equipment, establishing a common language for industrial devices.
• Product Classification and Description: Implements a standardized ontology for device classes, properties, qualifiers, and dynamic attributes essential for describing industrial automation equipment.
• IEC Common Data Dictionary (IEC CDD): Acts as the repository and distribution platform for the data dictionary content, continuously updated to reflect the latest industry requirements.
• Support for Future Technologies: Addresses evolving industry needs such as IIoT integration and smart manufacturing processes with machine-readable product catalogues.
• Development and Maintenance: The IEC 61987 series is maintained as a living database standard, with ongoing updates published through IEC CDD to ensure relevance and extensibility.
• Standardization Framework: Built on internationally recognized methods following ISO/IEC Directives and collaborative efforts across IEC technical committees, particularly TC 65.

Applications

• Industrial Automation Engineering: Simplifies the design and specification of automation systems by providing structured and standard data about process equipment.
• Smart Manufacturing Solutions: Facilitates integration of intelligent devices into manufacturing ecosystems leveraging IIoT capabilities.
• E-Commerce and Supply Chain: Enhances product cataloguing and data exchange between suppliers, manufacturers, and end-users with clearly defined and universally accepted data semantics.
• Maintenance and Asset Management: Enables consistent identification, classification, and property listing of devices to improve lifecycle management.
• Data Interoperability: Promotes efficient communication between diverse hardware and software systems in industrial environments by unifying data representation.
• Standard-Based Software Development: Developers of process control and automation software benefit from reliable, standardized data models reducing discrepancies and vendor lock-in.

Related Standards

• IEC 61360-2 – Standard data element types with an associated classification scheme, foundational for the data dictionary schema.
• IEC 62656-1 – Standardized product ontology register and transfer by spreadsheets, enhancing data parcel logic.
• IEC 62683 – Product data and property standards for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear.
• IEC 63213 – Standards for power measurement applications within electrical distribution networks.
• ISO 13584-42 – Description methodology for structuring parts families in industrial automation systems, facilitating consistent parts libraries.

Summary

SIST EN IEC 61987-100:2025 represents a critical step in harmonizing data structures for process measurement, control, and automation equipment. By defining a semantic framework that underpins IIoT and smart manufacturing, it empowers industries to achieve enhanced data interoperability, improved engineering workflows, and smarter asset management. Its publication through the IEC CDD ensures accessibility and adaptability, making it a foundational reference for manufacturers, engineers, and IT professionals working in industrial automation and process industries.

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
