Internet Protocol television (IPTV) is the delivery of television content over internet protocol networks. BS IEC 62766 series discusses consumer terminal function for access to IPTV and open internet multimedia services. The OPEN IPTV FORUM specifies the user-to-network interface (UNI) for consumer terminals to access IPTV and open internet multimedia services over managed or non-managed networks.
BS IEC 62766-1 is the first part of the BS IEC 62766 series of documents that defines general common elements and specifies the structure of the IEC 62766 series, the scopes of, and relationships between the other parts. Managed network IPTV services are provided from within an operator’s core network, enabling the service provider to make use of service enhancement facilities like multicast delivery and QoS provision.

BS IEC 62766-1 is based on a series of specifications that was originally developed by the Open IPTV Forum (OIPF). They specify the user-to-network interface (UNI) for consumer terminals to access IPTV and open internet multimedia services over managed or nonmanaged networks as defined by OIPF.
BS IEC 62766-1 defines general common elements and specifies the document structure, the scopes of, and relationships between the other parts, which deal with specific aspects of the OIPF consumer terminal function and network interfaces.IEC 62766-1:2017
