IEC/TC 13 - IEC_TC_13

IEC 62057-3:2024 applies to an automatic meter testing system (AMTS) permanently installed in a controlled environment. It covers the functions, technical requirements and acceptance methods of an AMTS. It also applies to a newly manufactured AMTS to test static active or reactive energy meters on 50 Hz or 60 Hz networks with an AC voltage up to 600 V (phase to neutral). This document defines the kind of AMTS that can continuously and automatically carry out all the test items specified in IEC 62058-31, including visual inspection, AC voltage test, no-load condition, starting current, accuracy and meter constant test. This document does not apply to: • data interfaces to the meter and test procedures of data interface; • industrial controllers, industrial personal computers, and servers supplied along with the AMTS.

This part of IEC 62056 specifies the overall structure of the OBject Identification System (OBIS) and the mapping of all commonly used data items in metering equipment to their identification codes. OBIS provides a unique identifier for all data within the metering equipment, including not only measurement values, but also abstract values used for configuration or obtaining information about the behaviour of the metering equipment. The ID codes defined in this document are used for the identification of: - logical names of the various instances of the ICs, or objects, as defined in IEC 62056-6-2:2021; - data transmitted through communication lines; - data displayed on the metering equipment, see Clause A.2. This document applies to all types of metering equipment, such as fully integrated meters, modular meters, tariff attachments, data concentrators, etc. To cover metering equipment measuring energy types other than electricity, combined metering equipment measuring more than one type of energy or metering equipment with several physical measurement channels, the concepts of medium and channels are introduced. This allows meter data originating from different sources to be identified. While this document fully defines the structure of the identification system for other media, the mapping of non-electrical energy related data items to ID codes is completed separately. NOTE EN 13757-1:2014 defines identifiers for metering equipment other than electricity: heat cost allocators, thermal energy, gas, cold water and hot water.

IEC 62056-8-12:2023 describes the use of DLMS®/COSEM for Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs). It specifies how the COSEM data model and the DLMS®/COSEM application layer can be used over various LPWAN technologies using an adaptation layer based on IETF RFC 8724, and in particular over LoRaWAN. This profile is intended to be used with LPWANs as defined in IETF RFC 8724, in particular LoRaWAN. Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) are wireless technologies with characteristics such as large coverage areas, low bandwidth, possibly very small packet and application-layer data sizes, and long battery life operation. This document does not provide functionality to manage the lower layers of the LPWANs. This part of the DLMS®/COSEM suite specifies the communication profile for Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs). The DLMS®/COSEM LPWAN communication profiles use connection-less transport layer based on the Internet Standard User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Internet Protocol (IPv6). The adaptation layer is based on IETF RFC 8724 which provides both a header compression/decompression mechanism and an optional fragmentation/reassembly mechanism. SCHC compression is based on static context with small context identifier to represent full IPv6/UDP/COSEM wrapper headers. If required, SCHC fragmentation is used to support IPv6 MTU over the LPWAN technologies. This document follows the rules defined in IEC 62056-5-3:2023, Annex A, and in IEC 62056-1-0, and IEC TS 62056-1-1:2016 for its structure. See also Annex A for examples

This part of IEC 62056 specifies the DLMS®/COSEM application layer in terms of structure, services and protocols for DLMS®/COSEM clients and servers, and defines rules to specify the DLMS®/COSEM communication profiles. It defines services for establishing and releasing application associations, and data communication services for accessing the methods and attributes of COSEM interface objects, defined in IEC 62056-6-2:2021 using either logical name (LN) or short name (SN) referencing. Annex A (normative) defines how to use the COSEM application layer in various communication profiles. It specifies how various communication profiles can be constructed for exchanging data with metering equipment using the COSEM interface model, and what are the necessary elements to specify in each communication profile. The actual, media-specific communication profiles are specified in separate parts of the IEC 62056 series. Annex B (normative) specifies the SMS short wrapper. Annex C (normative) specifies the gateway protocol. Annex D, Annex E and Annex F (informative) include encoding examples for APDUs. Annex G (normative) provides NSA Suite B elliptic curves and domain parameters. Annex H (informative) provides an example of an End entity signature certificate using P-256 signed with P-256. Annex I (normative) specifies the use of key agreement schemes in DLMS®/COSEM. Annex J (informative) provides examples of exchanging protected xDLMS APDUs between a third party and a server. Annex K (informative) lists the main technical changes in this edition of the standard.

This part of IEC 62056 specifies a model of a meter as it is seen through its communication interface(s). Generic building blocks are defined using object-oriented methods, in the form of interface classes to model meters from simple up to very complex functionality. Annexes A to F (informative) provide additional information related to some interface classes.

IEC 62057-1:2023 applies to stationary meter test units (MTUs) permanently installed in laboratories, used for testing and calibration of electricity meters, in particular for their type test, acceptance test and verification test. It covers the requirements for automatic MTUs for indoor laboratory application and applies to newly manufactured MTUs to test electricity meters on 50 Hz or 60 Hz networks with an AC voltage up to 600 V (phase to neutral). If meters are intended for system voltages not specified in this document, special requirements are agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser. This document also defines the kind of tests to perform as type tests / routine tests / acceptance tests and commissioning tests for MTUs. It does not apply to: • portable reference meters and portable sources; • electricity meters; • data interfaces to the meter and test procedures of data interface; • transformer operated MTUs; • personal computers supplied together with the MTU.

IEC 62052-41:2022 applies only to newly manufactured multi-energy and/or multi-rate static meters and it applies to their type tests only. This document applies to electricity metering equipment designed to: • measure and control electrical energy on networks with voltage up to 1 000 V AC, or 1 500 V DC; • have all functional elements, including add-on modules, enclosed in, or forming a single meter case with exception of indicating displays; • operate with integrated displays; • operate with detached indicating displays, or without an indicating display; • be installed in a specified matching socket or rack; • optionally, provide additional functions other than those for measurement of electrical energy. Meters designed for operation with Low Power Instrument Transformers (LPITs as defined in the IEC 61869 series) may be tested for compliance with this document and the relevant IEC 62053 series documents only if such meters and their LPITs are tested together as directly connected meters. This document does not apply to: • meters for which the voltage line-to-neutral derived from nominal voltages exceeds 1 000 V AC, or 1 500 V DC; • meters intended for connection with low power instrument transformers (LPITs as defined in the IEC 61869 series of standards) when tested without such transformers; • metering systems comprising multiple devices (except for LPITs) physically remote from one another; • portable meters; • meters used in rolling stock, vehicles, ships and airplanes; • laboratory and meter test equipment; • reference standard meters; • data interfaces to the register of the meter; • matching sockets or racks used for installation of electricity metering equipment. This document does not cover measures for the detection and prevention of fraudulent attempts to compromise a meter’s performance (tampering).

IEC 62055-42:2022, specifies a token generation mechanism and token structure for smart prepayment functionality in markets where IEC 62055-41 compliant systems are not used, and where a different security mechanism is required by project-specific or national requirements. This document specifies token structure, authentication and an anti-replay mechanism, token operating model, and protocol. This document is informed by the STS Association key management services, and by the key management mechanisms used within the DLMS/COSEM security model within IEC 62056‑6‑2. Reference is made to the international STS token standards (IEC 62055-41, IEC 62055-51 and IEC 62055-52) for payment metering systems, and interworking has been considered where appropriate in terms of token carrier ranges in the decimal domain. IEC 62055-41 tokens and those described in this document are not interoperable, however their domains are designed to be mutually exclusive to ensure the two kinds of tokens do not interfere with each other. Metering application processing and functionality, HAN interface commands and attributes, WAN interface commands and attributes are outside the scope of this document; however, reference is made to other standards in this regard. The mechanism for auditing and retrieving data from the meter relating to tariffication, meter readings, profile data and other legal metrology information is outside the scope of this document; however, this is defined as part of any overall metering solution. Such interfaces for retrieving data from a meter may be defined using suitable protocols such as DLMS/COSEM as defined in the IEC 62056 series.

This part of IEC 62055 applies to newly manufactured, static watt-hour payment meters of accuracy classes 0,5, 1 and 2 for direct connection, for the measurement of alternating current electrical energy consumption of a frequency in the range 45 Hz to 65 Hz that include a supply control switch for the purpose of interruption or restoration of the electricity supply to the load in accordance with the current value of the available credit maintained in the payment meter. It does not apply to static watt-hour payment meters where the voltage across the connection terminals exceeds 1 000 V (line-to-line voltage for meters for polyphase systems). It applies to payment meters for indoor application, operating under normal climatic conditions where the payment meter is mounted as for normal service (i.e. together with a specified matching socket where applicable). Payment meters are implementations where all the main functional elements are incorporated in a single enclosure, together with any specified matching socket. There are also multi-device payment metering installations where the various main functional elements, such as the measuring element, the user interface unit, token carrier interface, and the supply control switch are implemented in more than one enclosure, involving additional interfaces. Functional requirements that apply to payment meters are also defined in this document, and include informative basic functional requirements and tests for the prepayment mode of operation in Annex A. Allowances are made for the relatively wide range of features, options, alternatives, and implementations that may be found in practice. The diverse nature and functionality of payment meters prevent the comprehensive specification of detailed test methods for all of these requirements. However, in this case, the requirements are stated in such a way that tests can then be formulated to respect and validate the specific functionality of the payment meter being tested. This document does not cover specific functionality or performance requirements for circuit protection, isolation or similar purposes that may be specified through reference to other specifications or standards. Safety requirements removed from Edition 1.0 have been replaced with references to the safety requirements now contained in IEC 62052-31:2015, the product safety standard for newly manufactured electricity meters. In-service safety testing (ISST) is not covered by IEC 62052-31:2015 and is left to national best practice usually as an extension of existing in-service testing (IST) of metrology stability. This document does not cover software requirements. This document covers type-testing requirements only. For acceptance testing, the requirements given in IEC 62058‑11:2008 and IEC 62058-31:2008 may be used. Dependability aspects are addressed in the IEC 62059 series of standards. Additional reliability, availability, maintenance and life cycle aspects are provided by IEC TC 56. This document does not cover conformity tests and system compliance tests that may be required in connection with legal or other requirements of some markets.

This part of IEC 62053 applies only to static watt-hour meters of accuracy classes 0,5 and 1 for the measurement of DC electrical energy in DC systems, and it applies to their type tests only. NOTE 1 For other general requirements, such as safety, dependability, etc., see the relevant parts of IEC 62052 or IEC 62059. This document applies to electricity metering equipment designed to: - measure and control electrical energy on electrical networks with two poles where one of the poles is connected to earth and with voltage up to 1 500 V DC; NOTE 2 There are DC networks with other configurations or with more than 2 poles (for example networks with earth and both a positive and a negative pole). - have all functional elements, including add-on modules, enclosed in, or forming a single meter case with the exception of indicating displays; - operate with integrated or detached indicating displays, or without an indicating display; - be installed in a specified matching socket or rack; - optionally, provide additional functions other than those for measurement of electrical energy. They may be used for measuring DC electrical energy, amongst others, in the following application areas: - in EV (electrical vehicle) charging stations or in EV charging infrastructures, if the measurement is placed on the DC side; - in information technology (IT) server farms; - in DC supply points for communication equipment; - in low voltage DC networks for residential or commercial areas, if the measurement is placed on the DC side; - in solar PV (photovoltaic) systems where DC power generation is measured; - in DC supply points for public transport networks (e.g. trolleybus, etc.). Meters designed for operation with low power instrument transformers, LPITs as defined in the IEC 61869 series, may be tested for compliance with this document only if such meters and their LPITs are tested together and meet the requirements for directly connected meters. NOTE 3 Modern electricity meters typically contain additional functions such as measurement of voltage magnitude, current magnitude, power, etc.; measurement of power quality parameters; load control functions; delivery, time, test, accounting, recording functions; data communication interfaces and associated data security functions. The relevant standards for these functions may apply in addition to the requirements of this document. However, the requirements for such functions are outside the scope of this document.

This part of IEC 62056 specifies DLMS/COSEM communication profiles for narrow-band OFDM power line carrier PRIME neighbourhood networks using the modulation as specified in Recommendation ITU-T G.9904:2012. Three communication profiles are specified: - a profile using the IEC 61334-4-32 LLC layer; - a profile using TCP-UDP/IPv4; - a profile using TCP-UDP/IPv6.

IEC 62056-3-1:2021 is available as IEC 62056-3-1:2021 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition. IEC 62056-3-1:2021 describes two sets of profiles: the first set of profiles allows a bidirectional communication between a client and a server. This set of profiles is made of three profiles allowing local bus data exchange with stations either energized or not. For non-energized stations, the bus supplies energy for data exchange. Three different profiles are supported: • base profile: this three-layer profile provides remote communication services; NOTE 1 This first profile was published in IEC 61142:1993 and became known as the Euridis standard. • profile with DLMS: this profile allows using DLMS services as specified in IEC 61334 4 41; NOTE 2 This second profile was published in IEC 62056-31:1999. • profile with DLMS/COSEM: this profile allows using the DLMS/COSEM Application layer and the COSEM object model as specified in IEC 62056 5 3 and in IEC 62056 6 2 respectively. The three profiles use the same physical layer and they are fully compatible, meaning that devices implementing any of these profiles can be operated on the same bus. The transmission medium is twisted pair using carrier signalling and it is known as the Euridis Bus. The second set of profiles allows unidirectional communication between a given Energy Metering device and a Customer Energy Management System. This second set is made up of three profiles. Subclause 4.2.1 to Clause 8 included specify the bidirectional communication using twisted pair signalling and Clause 9 to 9.5 the unidirectional communication using twisted pair signalling. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition of IEC 62056-3-1, issued in 2013, and constitutes a technical revision. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows: • addition of a profile which makes use of the IEC 62056 DLMS/COSEM Application layer and COSEM object model; • review of the data link layer which is split into two parts: – a pure Data Link layer; – a "Support Manager" entity managing the communication media; • ability to negotiate the communication speed, bringing baud rate up to 9 600 bauds.
