IEC 62052-31:2024 specifies general safety requirements and associated tests, with their appropriate conditions for type testing of directly connected, transformer-operated or transducer-operated AC and DC electricity meters and load control equipment. This document applies to electricity metering equipment designed to:
• measure and control electrical energy on electrical networks (mains) with voltage up to 1 000 V AC, or 1 500 V DC;
• have all functional elements, including add-on communication modules, enclosed in, or forming a single meter case with exception of indicating displays;
• operate with integrated displays (electromechanical or static meters);
• operate with detached indicating displays, or without an indicating display (static meters only);
• wall-mounted or to be installed in specified matching sockets or racks;
• optionally, provide additional functions other than those for measurement of electrical energy.
This document also applies to transducer-operated meters or meters designed for operation with Low Power Instrument Transformers (LPIT) or sensors (as defined in the IEC 61869 series).
When equipment in scope of this document is designed to be installed in a specified matching socket, then the requirements apply to, and the tests are performed on, equipment installed in its specified matching socket. However, requirements for sockets and inserting / removing the meters from the socket are outside the scope of this document.
This document is also applicable to auxiliary input and output circuits, operation indicators, and test outputs of equipment for electrical energy measurement.
Equipment used in conjunction with equipment for electrical energy measurement and control may need to comply with additional safety requirements. See also Clause 13.
This document does not apply to:
• meters rated to operate with voltage exceeding 1 000 V AC, or 1 500 V DC;
• metering systems comprising multiple devices physically remote from one another;
• portable meters;
• meters used in rolling stock, vehicles, ships and airplanes;
• laboratory and mobile meter test equipment;
• reference standard meters;
• conventional or low power instrument transformers;
• equipment with solid-state or other non-electromechanical supply and load control switches.
The safety requirements of this document are based on the following assumptions:
• metering equipment has been installed correctly;
• metering equipment is used generally by ordinary persons, including meter readers and consumers of electrical energy. In many cases, it is installed in a way that it is freely accessible. Its terminal covers cannot be removed, and its case cannot be opened without removing seals (if present) and using a tool;
• during normal use all terminal covers, covers and barriers providing protection against accessing hazardous live parts are in place;
• for installation, configuration, maintenance and repair it may be necessary to remove terminal cover(s), (a part of) the case or barriers so that hazardous live parts may become accessible. Such activities are performed by skilled persons, who have been suitably trained to be aware of working procedures necessary to ensure safety. Therefore, safety requirements covering these conditions are out of the Scope of this document.

This part of IEC 62053 applies only to static watt-hour meters of accuracy classes 0,5 and 1 for the measurement of DC electrical energy in DC systems, and it applies to their type tests only.
NOTE 1 For other general requirements, such as safety, dependability, etc., see the relevant parts of IEC 62052 or IEC 62059.
This document applies to electricity metering equipment designed to:
- measure and control electrical energy on electrical networks with two poles where one of the poles is connected to earth and with voltage up to 1 500 V DC;
NOTE 2 There are DC networks with other configurations or with more than 2 poles (for example networks with earth and both a positive and a negative pole).
- have all functional elements, including add-on modules, enclosed in, or forming a single meter case with the exception of indicating displays;
- operate with integrated or detached indicating displays, or without an indicating display;
- be installed in a specified matching socket or rack;
- optionally, provide additional functions other than those for measurement of electrical energy.
They may be used for measuring DC electrical energy, amongst others, in the following application areas:
- in EV (electrical vehicle) charging stations or in EV charging infrastructures, if the measurement is placed on the DC side;
- in information technology (IT) server farms;
- in DC supply points for communication equipment;
- in low voltage DC networks for residential or commercial areas, if the measurement is placed on the DC side;
- in solar PV (photovoltaic) systems where DC power generation is measured;
- in DC supply points for public transport networks (e.g. trolleybus, etc.).
Meters designed for operation with low power instrument transformers, LPITs as defined in the IEC 61869 series, may be tested for compliance with this document only if such meters and their LPITs are tested together and meet the requirements for directly connected meters.
NOTE 3 Modern electricity meters typically contain additional functions such as measurement of voltage magnitude, current magnitude, power, etc.; measurement of power quality parameters; load control functions; delivery, time, test, accounting, recording functions; data communication interfaces and associated data security functions. The relevant standards for these functions may apply in addition to the requirements of this document. However, the requirements for such functions are outside the scope of this document.

This part of IEC 62056 specifies the overall structure of the OBject Identification System (OBIS) and the mapping of all commonly used data items in metering equipment to their identification codes.
OBIS provides a unique identifier for all data within the metering equipment, including not only measurement values, but also abstract values used for configuration or obtaining information about the behaviour of the metering equipment. The ID codes defined in this document are used for the identification of:
- logical names of the various instances of the ICs, or objects, as defined in IEC 62056-6-2:2021;
- data transmitted through communication lines;
- data displayed on the metering equipment, see Clause A.2.
This document applies to all types of metering equipment, such as fully integrated meters, modular meters, tariff attachments, data concentrators, etc.
To cover metering equipment measuring energy types other than electricity, combined metering equipment measuring more than one type of energy or metering equipment with several physical measurement channels, the concepts of medium and channels are introduced. This allows meter data originating from different sources to be identified. While this document fully defines the structure of the identification system for other media, the mapping of non-electrical energy related data items to ID codes is completed separately.
NOTE EN 13757-1:2014 defines identifiers for metering equipment other than electricity: heat cost allocators, thermal energy, gas, cold water and hot water.

IEC 62056-8-12:2023 describes the use of DLMS®/COSEM for Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs). It specifies how the COSEM data model and the DLMS®/COSEM application layer can be used over various LPWAN technologies using an adaptation layer based on IETF RFC 8724, and in particular over LoRaWAN.
This profile is intended to be used with LPWANs as defined in IETF RFC 8724, in particular LoRaWAN. Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) are wireless technologies with characteristics such as large coverage areas, low bandwidth, possibly very small packet and application-layer data sizes, and long battery life operation. This document does not provide functionality to manage the lower layers of the LPWANs.
This part of the DLMS®/COSEM suite specifies the communication profile for Low-Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs).
The DLMS®/COSEM LPWAN communication profiles use connection-less transport layer based on the Internet Standard User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and Internet Protocol (IPv6).
The adaptation layer is based on IETF RFC 8724 which provides both a header compression/decompression mechanism and an optional fragmentation/reassembly mechanism. SCHC compression is based on static context with small context identifier to represent full IPv6/UDP/COSEM wrapper headers. If required, SCHC fragmentation is used to support IPv6 MTU over the LPWAN technologies.
This document follows the rules defined in IEC 62056-5-3:2023, Annex A, and in IEC 62056-1-0, and IEC TS 62056-1-1:2016 for its structure. See also Annex A for examples

This part of IEC 62056 specifies the DLMS®/COSEM application layer in terms of structure, services and protocols for DLMS®/COSEM clients and servers, and defines rules to specify the DLMS®/COSEM communication profiles.
It defines services for establishing and releasing application associations, and data communication services for accessing the methods and attributes of COSEM interface objects, defined in IEC 62056-6-2:2021 using either logical name (LN) or short name (SN) referencing.
Annex A (normative) defines how to use the COSEM application layer in various communication profiles. It specifies how various communication profiles can be constructed for exchanging data with metering equipment using the COSEM interface model, and what are the necessary elements to specify in each communication profile. The actual, media-specific communication profiles are specified in separate parts of the IEC 62056 series.
Annex B (normative) specifies the SMS short wrapper.
Annex C (normative) specifies the gateway protocol.
Annex D, Annex E and Annex F (informative) include encoding examples for APDUs.
Annex G (normative) provides NSA Suite B elliptic curves and domain parameters.
Annex H (informative) provides an example of an End entity signature certificate using P-256 signed with P-256.
Annex I (normative) specifies the use of key agreement schemes in DLMS®/COSEM.
Annex J (informative) provides examples of exchanging protected xDLMS APDUs between a third party and a server.
Annex K (informative) lists the main technical changes in this edition of the standard.
