IEC SRD 63302-1:2025 provides use case collection and analysis, identifies the market relationships of relevant stakeholders, scopes out capabilities and a reference model of intelligent operations centre (IOC) for smart cities, and proposes the requirements for standards development in this field.
Digital solutions are accelerating the integration of real world applications in urban areas, including city governance, healthcare, environment, traffic, education, security and so on. However, many smart solutions are still implemented within single-domains. Isolated city services, data flows and data need integration. To be effective, the coordination of data and service requires an overarching framework coupled with an intelligent operations centre. The first step to identify solution options is by collecting and analysing relevant use cases.
IOC is tailored to provide urban managers, enterprises and citizens with access to operational and organized solutions. Based on city-level database and new technologies, such as big data, AI, cloud computing, blockchain etc., IOC processes city information and provides innovative services for urban managers, operators and other stakeholders. Compared with single-domain systems, IOC can better support monitoring and visualizing, decision making and cross-domain cooperation. IOC will play an important role in integrating city services such as police, health services traffic management and rescue services, including but not limited to the following methods.
a) The centralized operations dashboard and mobile application will allow real-time monitoring and information processing to improve response to emergencies.
b) The centralized and intelligent platform will enable noticeable improvements in the management of public safety, like crime prevention, emergency response, threat prevention and response, and traffic management.
c) The IOC's technologically advanced analysis, integrated communications, GPS and video surveillance capabilities will help residents and domain (energy, water, horticulture, waste and security) supervisors to collaborate in a smarter way.
d) The integrated data visualization, near real-time collaboration and deep analytics it provides will help agencies prepare for problems, coordinate and manage response efforts and enhance the efficiency of services,
e) IOC will enable residents to report issues such as broken street lights, electricity failure, water wastage, etc. and check resolution status using their mobile devices.
Currently, IOC solutions are being implemented in different cities around the world, and the stakeholders of these smart cities face similar challenges, including cross-domain cooperation, monitoring and visualizing, intelligent analysis, user-oriented experience, etc. The provision of standardization should be considered as one of key factors to support IOC development, including the development of the conceptual model, data exchange, IT infrastructures, services, and so on. This document focuses on collecting and analysing use cases from diversified areas, with the goal of developing consensus-based descriptions of IOC features and capabilities across all stakeholders, and uses this to scope out the standardization requirements related to the field of IOC.
This document is for use by authorities, solution providers, utilities, citizens, and other relevant stakeholders, to identify good practices regarding IOC, and how they can implement them.

This document provides guidance for including sustainability within a service management system (SMS) based on the requirements defined in ISO/IEC 20000-1. It is aimed at: — organizations that are intending to implement the requirements of ISO/IEC 20000-1 and directly address sustainability; — organizations that intend to leverage their existing SMS to enable sustainability actions and sustainable delivery; — consultants, trainers and other experts supporting organizations that utilize ISO/IEC 20000-1, so that they can be informed on how to include sustainability actions in an SMS. Sustainability in this context has three interdependent dimensions, which are environmental, social and economic. Annex A expands on the three dimensions with examples of each. The guidance provided in this document aims to help organizations consider and address sustainability objectives as well as challenges related to their services. The complexity and detail surrounding the inclusion of sustainability within an SMS will vary and be dependent on the context of the organization, the scope of the SMS, compliance obligations and the nature of the services within the scope of the SMS. This document is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO/IEC 20000-1 to address sustainability objectives related to specific requirements in ISO/IEC 20000-1. As such, it is anticipated that the user of this document is aware of the requirements in ISO/IEC 20000-1. The suggestions included across clauses in this document will be most effective when applied to an SMS which is implemented according to the corresponding clauses in ISO/IEC 20000-1. Application of this guidance to an SMS according to ISO/IEC 20000-1 is therefore recommended. This document supports and is an addition to the guidance already provided in ISO/IEC 20000-2, ISO/IEC 20000-3, ISO/IEC TS 20000-5 and other parts of the ISO/IEC 20000 series. Organizations can use the guidance in this document to also address the new requirements identified in ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018/Amd 1:2024 and ISO’s objectives to address climate change. The recommendations in this document for improving sustainability within an SMS are not exclusive and can be implemented along with other sustainability initiatives.

IEC SRD 63301-1:2024 provides an overview of water systems in smart cities, establishes a general approach for use case collection and analysis, and identifies major stakeholders and application areas for high-level analysis of water systems.
The construction of a smart city can create benefits for a society and its stakeholders. Water is a critical resource to support urban development and its sustainable use is recognized as a UN Sustainable Development Goal. Water infrastructure development, water management efficiency, water supply resilience, and the safe operation and use of water are important focal areas for smart cities.
This document focuses on water systems management, specifically water security whether directly from a natural source or via man-made infrastructure. Information and communications technologies (ICT) and electro-technologies can provide greater visibility and control, however their application does depend on the characteristics of individual water markets. Technology is not a panacea for resolving all issues and problems.
A gap exists in effective coordination and clear orientation and how industry and stakeholders are engaged within it.
Major stakeholders of water management and use include citizens, the water authority (government), and organizations (associations, business groups, utility companies). Each stakeholder has different and competing interests, market relationships and touch points to water system infrastructure, processes, operations, management and use.
Modelling these complex interactions into a systems architecture is a valuable exercise in understanding the issues, gaps and opportunities for sustainable water management.
This document focuses on use case collection and analysis to elicit requirements to support technical committees in preparing sustainable water management standards for cities and communities.
