1 Scope and normative references
1.1 Scope
Add the following new text:
This standard applies to controls powered by primary or secondary batteries, requirements
for which are contained within the standard, including Annex V.
Add the following new subclauses:
1.1.9 This standard applies to the electrical and functional safety of controls capable of
receiving and responding to communications signals, including signals for power billing rate
and demand response.
The signals may be transmitted to or received from external units being part of the control
(wired), or to and from external units which are not part of the control (wireless) under test.
1.1.10 This standard does not address the integrity of the output signal to the network
devices, such as interoperability with other devices unless it has been evaluated as part of
the control system.
1.2 Normative references
Add the following references:
IEC 62151, Safety of equipment electrically connected to a telecommunication network
IEC 62368-1, Audio/video, information and communication technology equipment – Part 1:
Safety requirements
2 Terms and definitions
2.13 Miscellaneous definitions
Add the following new definitions:
2.13.10
smart grid
intelligent grid
electric power system that utilizes information exchange and control technologies,
distributed computing and associated sensors and actuators, for purposes such as:
– to integrate the behaviour and actions of the network users and other stakeholders,
– to efficiently deliver sustainable, economic and secure electricity supplies
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-617:2011-10, 617-04-13]
2.13.11
smart enabled control
control that is intended to interact with the smart grid and allows certain functions related to
power billing rate or power demand response to be remotely controlled or enabled generally
by communication with the power utility or by user remote interface
Note 1 to entry: For example, remote interface includes computer or smart phone.
