Overview
IEC 63510-2:2025 defines product-specific mappings, details, requirements and deviations for household appliances network and grid connectivity. As Part 2 of the IEC 63510 series, this standard maps the generic use cases, use case functions and neutral data definitions from Part 1 to categories of appliances (for example: washers, dishwashers, water heaters and HVAC devices). The document focuses on interoperability and practical implementation guidance for smart appliances interacting with Home and Building / Customer Energy Management Systems.
Why it matters: IEC 63510-2 provides consistent guidance so appliances from different manufacturers can exchange information with a Customer Connectivity Manager (CCM), enabling coordinated energy management and predictable device behaviour in homes and buildings.
Key Topics
- Use case mapping: The standard maps generic use cases and use case functions to appliance categories. Mapping annotations include M (mandatory), O (optional), R (recommended) and N/A (not applicable).
- Appliance categories: Typical categories covered include white goods (washers, tumble dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators), water heaters, HVAC devices and other household electrical appliances.
- Smart appliance behaviour: Definitions and expectations for smart operation, Appliance Energy Flexibility and how appliances should respond to CCM triggers (e.g., start/stop, pausing, setpoints, notifications).
- Neutral messages and data models: Part 2 relies on the neutral message structures defined in Part 1 and points to Part 3/Part 4 for mappings to specific data models and communication protocols.
- Implementation guidance: The standard documents appliance-specific details and deviations from the generic model to ensure practical interoperability without mandating particular communication technologies.
Applications
- Integration of appliances into home energy management systems for load shifting, demand response and optimized use of renewable generation.
- Enabling manufacturers and system integrators to implement consistent device interfaces so that CCMs can manage multi-vendor installations.
- Supporting cloud and local CCM deployments that coordinate appliance schedules, job status and energy-flexibility features while respecting user preferences.
Practical benefits include improved interoperability, predictable energy-flexibility behaviour, and clearer guidance for mapping generic functions to product-specific implementations.

- IEC 63510-3-x: Specific data model mappings (examples such as SPINE, OCF).
- IEC 63510-4-x: Communication protocol specific aspects and mappings of neutral messages.
Note: IEC 63510-2:2025 does not address safety and security requirements (safety requirements are covered in the IEC 60335 series). For full implementation, consult the complete IEC 63510 series alongside applicable regional and industry protocols.

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) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent
the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at https://patents.iec.ch. IEC
shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
Energy management systems will more and more become necessary due to change from fossil
and nuclear to renewable production and the associated decentralization. Since an appropriate
standard for a home and building management is in preparation, this document specifies how
sets of products from multiple manufacturers can exchange information with Home and Building
/ Customer Energy Management Systems, located in a home network or in the cloud.
This document focuses on interoperability of household appliances and describes the
necessary control and monitoring. It defines a set of functions of household and similar
electrical appliances. The functions in this document cover next to energy-management main
remote-control and – monitoring use cases.
This document does not deal with safety and security requirements. Safety requirements have
been set in the IEC 60335 series [1] .
The IEC 63510 series provides interoperability on information exchange among various
appliances in the home. The IEC 63510 series is split into 4 parts:
IEC 63510-1: Household appliances network and grid connectivity – Part 1: General
Requirements, generic data modelling and neutral messages
IEC 63510-2: Household appliances network and grid connectivity – Part 2: Product specific
mappings, details, requirements and deviations
