FOREWORD

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
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.
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.
IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a) patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

IEC 63510-3-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 59: Performance of household and similar electrical appliances. It is an International Standard.

It is based on EN 50631‑3‑1:2023 and was submitted as a Fast-Track document.

The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in the above table.

The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.

The structure and editorial rules used in this publication reflect the practice of the organization which submitted it.

This document was developed in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and ISO/IEC Directives, IEC Supplement, available at www.iec.ch/members_experts/refdocs. The main document types developed by IEC are described in greater detail at www.iec.ch/publications.

A list of all parts in the IEC 63510 series, published under the general title Household appliances network and grid connectivity, can be found on the IEC website.

The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the specific document. At this date, the document will be

reconfirmed,
withdrawn, or
revised.

INTRODUCTION

Energy management systems will more and more become necessary due to change from fossil and nuclear to renewable production and the associated decentralization. Since an appropriate standard for a home and building management is in preparation this document specifies how sets of products from multiple manufacturers can exchange information with Home and Building / Customer Energy Management Systems, located in a home network or in the cloud.

This document focuses on interoperability of household appliances and describes the necessary control and monitoring. It defines a set of functions of household and similar electrical appliances. The functions in this document cover next to energy-management main remote-control and - monitoring use cases.

This document does not deal with safety and security requirements. Safety requirements have been set in the IEC 60335 series[1]1. IEC 63510 series provides interoperability on information exchange among various appliances in the home. The IEC 63510 series is split into 4 parts:

IEC 63510‑1, Household appliances network and grid connectivity - Part 1: General requirements, generic data modelling and neutral messages
IEC 63510‑2, Household appliances network and grid connectivity - Part 2: Product Specific mappings, details, requirements and deviations
IEC 63510‑3‑x, Household appliances network and grid connectivity - Part 3: Specific Data Model Mapping
IEC 63510‑4‑x, Household appliances network and grid connectivity - Part 4: Communication Protocol Specific Aspects

Data communication heavily depends on the environment of appliances. Sometimes low bitrate or energy efficient communication puts strict requirements to selected communication technologies. Therefore, popular and de facto standards had been and will be developed by the industry to fulfil such requirements. To not influence common data modelling for appliances because of such restrictions, the standardized data models and neutral message structures need to be applied to communication technologies.

This standard series therefore is intended to separate data modelling and neutral message structure from the attached communication.

Part 1 defines general requirements, generic data modelling and generic neutral messages without relation to any specific communication technology or any product specific layout.

Part 2 lists and specifies product specific requirements and implementation guidance based on the generic data model and generic neutral messages.

Part 3 defines the mapping of neutral messages to examples of typical data models like SPINE, SPINE-IoT, OCF, and so forth. These data models are neither mandatory nor to be seen as complete spectrum of data models.

Part 4 defines the mapping of neutral messages to examples of typical communication protocols. These communication protocols are neither mandatory, nor do they provide an exhaustive list of communication protocols.

1 Scope

This document maps the generic use case functions and data models defined in IEC 63510‑1:2025 to specific languages; in this case, SPINE and SPINE-IoT.

This document is part of the IEC 63510 series, which defines the information exchange between Smart Appliances and management systems in homes and buildings including energy management.
