Part 7-6: The 3-layer, connection-oriented
HDLC based communication profile

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 this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable 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.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed that compliance
with this International Standard may involve the use of a maintenance service concerning the stack of protocols on
which the present standard IEC 62056-7-6 is based.
The IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity and scope of this maintenance service.
The provider of the maintenance service has assured the IEC that he is willing to provide services under
reasonable and non-discriminatory terms and conditions for applicants throughout the world. In this respect, the
statement of the provider of the maintenance service is registered with the IEC. Information may be obtained from

– 4 – 62056-7-6 © IEC:2013
International Standard IEC 62056-7-6 has been prepared by Technical Committee 13,
Electrical energy measurement, tariff- and load control.
It is based on IEC 62056-53:2006, Electricity metering – Data exchange for meter reading,
tariff and load control – Part 53: COSEM application layer, Annex B.2 The 3-layer,
connection-oriented, HDLC based communication profile and introduces the following
significant technical changes:
NOTE IEC 62056-53:2006 contains the specification of the DMS/COSEM communication profiles whereas the
2
new edition, IEC 62056-5-3:— , which replaces it, does not.
• The title of the standard has been aligned with the title of other parts of the revised
IEC 62056 series;
• A Figure showing the protocol stack has been added to Clause 5.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
13/1527/FDIS 13/1545/RVD

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all the parts in the IEC 62056 series, published under the general title Electricity
metering data exchange – The DLMS/COSEM suite, can be found on the IEC website.
Future standards in this series will carry the new general title as cited above. Titles of existing
standards in this series will be updated at the time of the next edition.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

IMPORTANT – The 'colour inside' logo on the cover page of this publication indicates
that it contains colours which are considered to be useful for the correct
understanding of its contents. Users should therefore print this document using a
colour printer.
