Full title and description
St IEC TS 62056-1-1-2016 — Electricity metering data exchange — The DLMS/COSEM suite — Part 1-1: Template for DLMS/COSEM communication profile standards. This technical specification defines a template and recommended table of contents for IEC 62056 communication profile standards and provides guidance for developing the content of clauses and subclauses used in those profile documents.
Abstract
IEC TS 62056-1-1:2016 provides a standardized template for communication profile standards within the IEC 62056 DLMS/COSEM suite. It sets out the structure, required and optional clauses, and guidance text authors can use when preparing specific communication-profile parts of the 62056 series, improving consistency and interoperability across DLMS/COSEM profile documents.

Scope
This Technical Specification defines the template and recommended content structure for IEC 62056 communication profile standards that form part of the DLMS/COSEM suite. It covers the table of contents and guidance for the clauses and subclauses typically required in profile documents (e.g., normative references, terms and definitions, profile description, security, conformance). The document is intended to be used by standards authors and working groups preparing or revising IEC 62056 profile parts.
Key topics and requirements
- Standardized table of contents for IEC 62056 communication profile standards.
- Guidance text and suggested clause contents for profile documents (definitions, normative references, conformance, transport and application layer mapping, security considerations).
- Clarification of mandatory versus optional sections within a profile standard.
- Support for consistency across DLMS/COSEM communication profile parts to aid interoperability.
- Intended use by IEC TC13 and related working groups developing meter data exchange profiles.
Typical use and users
Primary users are standards developers and technical committees (notably IEC TC13 and its working groups) creating or maintaining IEC 62056 communication-profile parts. Secondary users include utilities, meter manufacturers, system integrators, test laboratories and certification bodies who rely on consistent profile documents for interoperability, conformance testing and implementation guidance for DLMS/COSEM-based metering solutions.
