FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
The main task of IEC technical committees is to prepare International Standards. In
exceptional circumstances, a technical committee may propose the publication of a technical
specification when
• the required support cannot be obtained for the publication of an International Standard,
despite repeated efforts, or
• the subject is still under technical development or where, for any other reason, there is the
future but no immediate possibility of an agreement on an International Standard.
Technical specifications are subject to review within three years of publication to decide
whether they can be transformed into International Standards.
IEC 62768, which is a technical specification, has been prepared by IEC technical committee
3: Information structures, documentation and graphical symbols.

– 4 – TS 62768  IEC:2012(E)
The text of this technical specification is based on the following documents:
Enquiry draft Report on voting
3/1079A/DTS 3/1101/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this technical specification can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• transformed into an International standard,
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this publication may be issued at a later date.

PREPARATION AND PROCESSING OF SOURCE
DEFINITIONS FOR DATA ELEMENT TYPES –
GUIDELINES FOR PRODUCT COMMITTEES

1 Scope
This Technical Specification specifies how product committees, including committees
producing horizontal standards, intending to submit Data Element Types (DETs) for inclusion
in the IEC Component Data Dictionary (IEC CDD), should specify the source descriptions in
their own standard; and specify the information to be sent to SC3D for inclusion in IEC CDD.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and
are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any
amendments) applies.
IEC 61360-1:2009, Standard data elements types with associated classification scheme for
electric items – Part 1: Definitions – Principles and methods
IEC 61360-2, Standard data elements types with associated classification scheme for electric
components – Part 2: EXPRESS Dictionary schema
IEC 61360-DB, IEC Component Data Dictionary (IEC CDD, IEC 61360-4)
IEC 62656-1, Standardized product ontology register and transfer by spreadsheets – Part 1:
Logical structure for data parcels
IEC/TS 62656-2, Standardized product ontology register and transfer by spreadsheets –
Part 2: Implementation guide for parcel interchange with IEC CDD
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
NOTE Words shown in italics in a definition in Clause 3 are defined as terms elsewhere in the clause.
3.1
attribute
any one of the properties to describe an entity, possibly involving one or more other entities
[SOURCE: IEC 61360-1:2009, 2.12]
Note 1 to entry: In this context “entity” refers to a “data element type”, and “property” refers to a parameter
suitable for the description of this.

3.2
(characteristic) property
defined parameter suitable for the description and differentiation of objects
Note 1 to entry: The term (characteristic) property (of an object) is not identical with the term data element type
used in IEC 61360. A data element type is a unit of data for which the identification, description and value
representation have been specified in the context of a dictionary, while the term (characteristic) property is used
for an occurrence of such a data element type in the context of a specification of an object. This distinction
makes it possible to qualify a property in an object specification and still refer to the same data element type
definition in the dictionary.

3.3
data element type
DET
unit of data for which the identification, description and value representation have been
specified
[SOURCE: IEC 61360-1:2009, 2.3]
3.4
horizontal standard
standard on fundamental principles, concepts, terminology or technical characteristics,
relevant to a number of technical committees and of crucial importance to ensure the
coherence of the corpus of standardization documents
[SOURCE: IEC Guide 108:2006, 3.1]
3.5
product standard
standard that specifies requirements to be fulfilled by a product or group of products to
establish its fitness for purpose
Note 1 to entry: A product standard may include, in addition to the fitness-for-purpose requirements, directly or by
reference, aspects such as terminology, sampling, testing, packaging and labelling and, sometimes, processing
requirements.
Note 2 to entry: A product standard can either be complete or not, accord
