Full title and description
IEC 62601:2015/COR1:2021 — Corrigendum 1 to IEC 62601:2015, "Industrial networks — Wireless communication network and communication profiles — WIA‑PA". This corrigendum contains editorial and technical corrections to the published 2015 edition of IEC 62601 (WIA‑PA) to correct wording, references and minor errors in the English/French bilingual text.
Abstract
This document is Corrigendum 1 to IEC 62601:2015 and provides corrections and clarifications to the 2015 edition of the WIA‑PA standard (Wireless networks for Industrial Automation — Process Automation). The corrigendum addresses editorial mistakes, incorrect references and small technical clarifications so that implementers and users of the WIA‑PA protocol have an accurate and consistent normative text.
General information
- Status: Corrigendum (correction) to IEC 62601:2015; published and in force.
- Publication date: 3 March 2021 (IEC 62601:2015/COR1:2021).
- Publisher: International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
- ICS / categories: 25.040.40 (Industrial process measurement and control); 35.100.05 (Multilayer applications).
- Edition / version: Edition 2.0 (corrigendum to the 2015, 2nd edition of IEC 62601).
- Number of pages: 1 (corrigendum document; short-form correction sheet).
Scope
IEC 62601:2015/COR1:2021 is limited in scope to publishing corrections to the existing IEC 62601:2015 standard. The main IEC 62601 standard defines the system architecture, protocol and communication profiles for WIA‑PA (Wireless networks for Industrial Automation — Process Automation), a profile built on IEEE Std 802.15.4 for industrial/process automation wireless sensor and actuator networks. The corrigendum does not introduce new functional requirements; it corrects wording, references and errors so that the normative 2015 text is unambiguous for implementers and conformity assessment.
Key topics and requirements
- Correction of editorial and typographical errors in the English/French bilingual text.
- Amendments to normative references and clarification where the main text referenced IEEE Std 802.15.4‑2011 (MAC/PHY) features.
- Small technical clarifications to protocol descriptions and profile definitions to remove inconsistencies with the main 2015 edition.
- Ensures consistency of terminology and figures between languages and across clauses so implementers interpret normative requirements correctly.
- Confirms the corrected text as the authoritative wording to be used in implementations and national adoptions.
Typical use and users
The corrigendum is primarily used by standards implementers and maintainers: protocol and firmware developers, device manufacturers, system integrators, test and certification laboratories, procurement and compliance teams, and national standards bodies that adopt IEC texts. It is consulted when precise normative wording is required for implementation, interoperability testing, or national publication of the IEC 62601 standard.
Related standards
Primary related documents include IEC 62601:2015 (the main standard for WIA‑PA) and IEEE Std 802.15.4 (the MAC/PHY foundation used by WIA‑PA). The standard is developed under IEC TC 65 / SC 65C (Industrial networks) and is commonly considered alongside other industrial wireless standards and profiles used in process automation.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: IEC 62601:2015/COR1:2021 is Corrigendum 1 to IEC 62601:2015 — a one‑page correction document that fixes editorial and small technical errors in the published 2015 edition of the WIA‑PA standard.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers corrections to the existing normative text of IEC 62601:2015 (WIA‑PA), including wording, references (notably references to IEEE Std 802.15.4 MAC/PHY material), and minor clarifications to ensure consistent interpretation and implementation. It does not add new functional requirements.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Firmware and protocol developers, device manufacturers, system integrators, test houses and certification bodies, procurement and compliance teams, and national standards committees that adopt or translate IEC 62601.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: The corrigendum was published on 3 March 2021 as an official correction to IEC 62601:2015. It should be used in conjunction with the 2015 edition; users should consult the corrected (2015 + COR1) text for the authoritative wording. Check with your national standards body or the IEC webstore for any later amendments or new editions beyond 2021.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — it is part of the IEC 62601 publication (WIA‑PA) managed by IEC TC 65/SC 65C. The corrigendum amends IEC 62601:2015 (the WIA‑PA standard) and is related to other industrial wireless standards and IEC publications maintained by TC 65/SC 65C.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: WIA‑PA, IEC 62601, corrigendum, wireless industrial networks, IEEE 802.15.4, process automation, protocol profile, editorial correction.
