FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the 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, the IEC publishes International Standards. 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. The 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 the 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 National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62286 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 100: Audio,
video and multimedia systems and equipment.
This standard was developed by a project team of service and interface specialists within the
European Association of Consumer Electronics Manufacturers (EACEM). EACEM
subsequently merged with EICTA in September 2001. EICTA is the European Information,
Communications and Consumer Electronics Technology Industry Association.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
CDV Report on voting
100/432/CDV 100/493A/RVC
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard 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
2005. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.
A bilingual version of this standard may be issued at a later date.

INTRODUCTION
Consumer products are often repaired by service workshops who are servicing all kinds of
products developed by different manufacturers.
For high complexity products, the fault diagnosis becomes more and more difficult and time
consuming. To make diagnosis possible, manufacturers often develop some built-in diagnostic
software which can be used for fault finding together with an external diagnostic unit through
a Service Diagnostic Interface (SDI).
To avoid the need for a service workshop to purchase several different diagnostic units from
different manufacturers for different products, a standardized SDI is proposed for use by all
manufacturers and in all products in which such diagnostic interfaces are required. The result
will be that only one SDI is needed in the service workshops.
The SDI should also be suitable for diagnosis in a network (A/V or multimedia network) in
which different products from different manufacturers are connected together. The interface
should also allow for future development.
The standard SDI which has to be specified, should:
– be usable in future products;
– be easily connectable to a product or a network;
– be cheap;
– not limit product design.

SERVICE DIAGNOSTIC INTERFACE FOR CONSUMER
ELECTRONICS PRODUCTS AND NETWORKS –
Implementation for IEEE 1394
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the requirements that have to be implemented in future
products that incorporate a digital interface, and service diagnostic software developed for
these products. The Service Diagnostic Interface (SDI) requires the use of a PC (desktop or
laptop) into which service diagnostic software can be loaded. A part of this PC software has to
be standardised while another part of this PC software is manufacturer/product related.
To reach a common approach in servicing all products from all manufacturers, it is necessary
to standardise specific items in the products (Device Under Test/DUT) as well as in the
diagnostic software on the PC.
The Service Diagnostic Interface (SDI) is based on the IEEE 1394:1995 specification because
this interface will be used in most future products. The use of this connection and existing
communication protocols enable implementation in products at low cost, and gives maximum
flexibility and efficiency.
The SDI consists of:
• Specific hardware and software requirements of the DUT.
• Specific requirements of the PC:
– the Service software,
– an IEEE 1394 interface (to be built in if not already present).
• The connection between the PC and the DUT.
This specification is a minimal specification necessary to be able to carry out computerised
diagnosis and covers the standardised software of the PC as well as the standardised
software and provisions in the DUT.
If an IEEE 1394 interface is present on the product, then the requirement for product
identification as described in this document (see 6.3) is mandatory. In addition, all
communication for any service application should go through the IEEE 1394 interface only, as
described in this document (in Clause 7).
