AMENDMENT 1
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 document may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to IEC 61850-5:2013 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:

FOREWORD
In the FOREWORD, below item 9), replace the first paragraph through the third paragraph
including its bullet points with the following new paragraphs:
International Standard IEC 61850-5 Edition 2 and its Amendment 1 has been prepared by IEC
technical committee 57: Power systems management and associated information exchange.
DISCLAIMER
This Consolidated version is not an official IEC Standard and has been prepared for user
convenience. Only the current versions of the standard and its amendment(s) are to be
considered the official documents.

This consolidated version of IEC 61850-5:2013 bears the edition number 2.1. It replaces the
second edition (2013-01) and its amendment (2021-XX). The technical content is identical to
the base edition and its Amendment.
International Standard IEC 61850-5 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 57: Power
systems management and associated information exchange.
The changes, corrections and updates have been made mainly according to the comments
received.
The major changes of this consolidated version with regard to Edition 2 are as follows:
a) extensions of the requirements with some Logical Nodes;
b) errors and typos have been corrected;
c) harmonization of all Logical Node descriptions (impact on all Logical Node tables);
d) re-organization of selected clause structures;
e) updating of headlines;
f) re-ordering subclauses in the chapter about performances.
to provide
– ease of reading and understanding of the requirements for the IEC 61850 series
– consistent and updated requirement references for the data model and communication
service parts

INTRODUCTION
Delete the existing fourth paragraph of the Introduction. Replace the existing text of the fifth
paragraph of the Introduction with the following new text:
The IEC 61850 series shall be long living but allow following the fast changes in communication
technology by both its technical approach and its document structure. The IEC 61850 series
has been organized so that at least minor changes to one part do not require a significant
rewriting of another part. For example, the derived data models in subsequent parts
(IEC 61850-7-x) and mappings to dedicated stacks (IEC 61850-8-x and IEC 61850-9-x) based
on the communication requirements in IEC 61850-5 will not change the requirements defined
in IEC 61850-5. In addition, the general parts, the requirement specification and the modelling
parts are independent from any implementation. The implementation needed for the use of the
standard is defined in some few dedicated parts referring to main stream communication means
thus supporting the long living of the standard and its potential for later technical changes.
Replace the existing text of the sixth paragraph of the Introduction with the following new text:
This consolidated version of IEC 61850-5:2013 and its Amendment 1 defines the
communication requirements for functions and device models for power utility automation
systems.
Replace the existing text of the seventh paragraph and the Note of the Introduction with the
following new text:
The modelling of communication requires the definition of objects (e.g., data objects, data sets,
report control, log control) and services accessing the objects (e.g., get, set, report, create,
delete). This is defined in IEC 61850-7 with a clear interface to implementation. To use the
