TC 13 - Electrical energy measurement and control

IEC 62052-31:2024 specifies general safety requirements and associated tests, with their appropriate conditions for type testing of directly connected, transformer-operated or transducer-operated AC and DC electricity meters and load control equipment. This document applies to electricity metering equipment designed to:
• measure and control electrical energy on electrical networks (mains) with voltage up to 1 000 V AC, or 1 500 V DC;
• have all functional elements, including add-on communication modules, enclosed in, or forming a single meter case with exception of indicating displays;
• operate with integrated displays (electromechanical or static meters);
• operate with detached indicating displays, or without an indicating display (static meters only);
• wall-mounted or to be installed in specified matching sockets or racks;
• optionally, provide additional functions other than those for measurement of electrical energy.
This document also applies to transducer-operated meters or meters designed for operation with Low Power Instrument Transformers (LPIT) or sensors (as defined in the IEC 61869 series).
When equipment in scope of this document is designed to be installed in a specified matching socket, then the requirements apply to, and the tests are performed on, equipment installed in its specified matching socket. However, requirements for sockets and inserting / removing the meters from the socket are outside the scope of this document.
This document is also applicable to auxiliary input and output circuits, operation indicators, and test outputs of equipment for electrical energy measurement.
Equipment used in conjunction with equipment for electrical energy measurement and control may need to comply with additional safety requirements. See also Clause 13.
This document does not apply to:
• meters rated to operate with voltage exceeding 1 000 V AC, or 1 500 V DC;
• metering systems comprising multiple devices physically remote from one another;
• portable meters;
• meters used in rolling stock, vehicles, ships and airplanes;
• laboratory and mobile meter test equipment;
• reference standard meters;
• conventional or low power instrument transformers;
• equipment with solid-state or other non-electromechanical supply and load control switches.
The safety requirements of this document are based on the following assumptions:
• metering equipment has been installed correctly;
• metering equipment is used generally by ordinary persons, including meter readers and consumers of electrical energy. In many cases, it is installed in a way that it is freely accessible. Its terminal covers cannot be removed, and its case cannot be opened without removing seals (if present) and using a tool;
• during normal use all terminal covers, covers and barriers providing protection against accessing hazardous live parts are in place;
• for installation, configuration, maintenance and repair it may be necessary to remove terminal cover(s), (a part of) the case or barriers so that hazardous live parts may become accessible. Such activities are performed by skilled persons, who have been suitably trained to be aware of working procedures necessary to ensure safety. Therefore, safety requirements covering these conditions are out of the Scope of this document.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision. Please see the foreword of IEC 62052-31 for more details

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.

IEC 62056-6-1:2023 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 62056‑6‑2:2023;
- data transmitted through communication lines;
- data displayed on the metering equipment, see Clause A.2 in Annex A.
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
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition of IEC 62056-6-1, published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. The main technical changes with respect to the previous edition are listed in Annex B (informative).

IEC 62056-5-3:2023 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.

This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are listed in Annex K (Informative).

IEC 62056-6-2:2023 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
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition of IEC 62056-6-2 published in 2017. It constitutes a technical revision. The significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition are listed in Annex F (Informative).

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

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.

• 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;

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.

IEC 62055-31:2022 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 second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2005. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Title modified.
b) Removal of the contents of Annex C relating to the requirements for the supply control switch, and added reference to IEC 62052-31:2015 which contains the relevant requirements.

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.

Meters designed for operation with low power instrument transformers (LPITs as defined in the IEC 61869 series) may be considered as compliant with this document only if such meters and their LPITs are tested together and meet the requirements for 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;
• meters intended for connection with low power instrument transformers (LPITs as defined in the IEC 61869 series) when tested without such transformers;
• metering systems comprising multiple devices (except 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;
• any additional functions provided in electrical energy meters.
This document does not cover measures for the detection and prevention of fraudulent attempts to compromise a meter’s performance (tampering).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003 and its amendment 1:2016. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Removed all meter safety requirements; the meter safety requirements are covered in IEC 62052-31:2015.
b) Replaced Ib with In; Ib is no longer used when referencing directly connected meters.
c) Moved the descriptions of all general requirements and test methods from IEC 62053-21: 2003, IEC 62053-22: 2003, IEC 62053-23: 2003, IEC 62053-24: 2003 to IEC 62052-11:2020; IEC 62053-21:2020, IEC 62053-22:2020, IEC 62053-23:2020, IEC 62053-24:2020 contain only accuracy class specific requirements.
d) Added new requirements and tests concerning:
1) measurement uncertainty and repeatability (7.3, 7.8);
2) influence of fast load current variations (9.4.12);
3) immunity to conducted differential current disturbances in the 2 kHz to 150 kHz frequency range (9.3.8).
e) Meters designed for operation with low power instrument transformers (LPITs) may be tested for compliance with this document as directly connected meters.
The reactive energy accuracy classes 2 and 3 defined in IEC 62053-23 have also been added to IEC 62053-24. The TC13 WG11 is of the opinion that the testing methodology described in IEC 62053-24 is a better approach to testing of modern reactive energy meters. Consequently, IEC 62053-23 will be withdrawn in the near future, and should not be used for new meter designs.

IEC 62056-8-8:2020 describes how the DLMS/COSEM Application layer and the COSEM object model, as specified in IEC 62056‑5‑3:2017, IEC 62056‑6‑1:2017 and IEC 62056‑6‑2:2017, can be used over the lower layers specified in the IEC 14908 series, forming a DLMS/COSEM ISO/IEC 14908 communication profile.
