General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
WG 15 is a Technical Committee within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is named "TC 59/WG 15". This committee has published 141 standards.
WG 15 develops IEC standards in the area of Information technology. Currently, there are 141 published standards from this technical committee.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.
A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
IEC 63510-1:2025 defines data models for Interoperable Connected Household Appliances. The data models are derived from a logical decomposition of use cases into functional blocks that themselves were realized by abstract actions on the data model itself.
This document is part of the IEC 63510 series, which defines the information exchange between Smart Appliances and management systems in homes and buildings including energy management.

IEC TS 62950:2017(E) sets out a reference framework for defining and testing smart capabilities and smart operating modes of appliances, small scale energy supplies (SSESs) and other devices (ODs) (collectively termed 'smart devices' if they have the defined capabilities). This document does not set minimum requirements for appliances, SSESs or ODs.
This document focuses on electricity consumption but the principles and general architecture can be applied to other types of energy and other services. This document focuses on appliances, SSESs and ODs, but the principles and general architecture can also be applied to other products that are capable of being equipped with a device (energy) manager (DEM).
This document:
1) defines terms that describe the smart capabilities and smart operating modes of appliances, SSESs and ODs;
2) describes the way in which such products respond to certain standard instructions and conditions that are likely to arise in the operation of smart grids;
3) describes various approaches to measuring how the products respond in particular smart operating modes.
