Annotation

This part of IEC 62056 defines a template for IEC 62056 communication profile standards.

It provides the “Table of contents” of such standards and provides guidance to develop the content of the relevant clauses and subclauses.

NOTE The parts of the standard providing guidance are written in italic font.

In the Scope of an IEC 62056 communication profile standard, remove the text above and add the following:

This International Standard specifies DLMS/COSEM communication profiles for <add a brief description of the communication technology and the smart metering interfaces covered>.

The scope of this communication profile standard is restricted to aspects concerning the use of communication protocols in conjunction with the COSEM data model and the DLMS/COSEM application layer. Data structures specific to a communication protocol are out of the Scope of the communication profile standard.

They should be specified in the specific protocol standards.

Any project specific definitions of data structures and data contents may be provided in project specific companion specifications.

Add any other relevant information identifying what is and what is not in the Scope of the communication profile standard.
