FOREWORD
This amendment has been prepared by IEC technical committee 57: Power systems
management and associated information exchange.
The text of this amendment is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
57/1918/FDIS 57/1940/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this amendment can be found in the report
on voting indicated in the above table.
This IEC standard includes Code Components, i.e. components that are intended to be
directly processed by a computer. Such content is any text found between the markers
and , or otherwise is clearly labeled in this standard as a
Code Component.
The purchase of this IEC standard carries a copyright license for the purchaser to sell
software containing Code Components from this standard directly to end users and to end
users via distributors, subject to IEC software licensing conditions, which can be found at:
http://www.iec.ch/CCv1.
If any updates are required to the published code component that needs to apply immediately
and can not wait for an amendment (i.e. fixing a major problem), a new release of the Code
Component will be issued and distributed through the IEC WebSite. Any new release of the
Code Component related to this part will supersede any previously published Code
Component including the one published within the current document.

INTRODUCTION
This Amendment 1 aims to amend the original content of IEC 61850-6:2009 and to correct its
content in order ensure a better interoperability of the components implementing it.
This Amendment 1 brings two distinct sets of changes
1) Resolved Interop Issues (covered by Clause 3 of this Amendment 1) which have
already followed the technical issues ( Tissues) process as described in IEC 61850-1
and have reached the green “status”.
2) Resolved Editorial Tissues (Technical Issues) (covered by Clause 4 of this Amendment
1) which may have lead to interoperability issues.
The resolutions of these issues which lead to these changes are described in greater detail in
the Tissue database hosted at http://tissue.iec61850.com.
The only new features compared to the original IEC 61850-6:2009 are the inclusion of the
Process and Line elements supporting other application areas than substations, and
necessary enhancements to fully support the amended communication related parts. Apart
from this this Amendment 1 strictly respects the scope of the original edition.
Because some of the corrected issues may have a widespread impact on many pages of the
original standard, a complete consolidation of these changes into IEC 61850-6:2009 is
circulated through the reference 57/xxxx/INF, which reflects the content of IEC 61850-6:2009
as amended by this Amendment 1.
Technical issues summary
N°, Subject, Cat, Clause and Paragraph are as they appear on the Tissue database hosted at
http://tissue.iec61850.com where all technical issues have been stored from the origin of
IEC 61850.
“Subject” defines very briefly the topic under focus.
“Cat” defines whether this has been considered as an Interoperability Issue (IntOp2) or just a
need for amending IEC 61850-6:2009.
The Tissues which have been considered in this Amendment 1 are:
