IEC 62056 / DLMS COSEM Indian Companion Standard

BIS ET13 Protocol Panel is working on a new companion standard for IEC 62056 / DLMS COSEM for India. This companion standard will define country specific (INDIA Specific) requirements that the IEC 62056 protocol implementations in India will need to comply with. The companion standard will ideally define the sub-set of requirements mandatory for any IEC 62056 implementation in India, as well as country specific profiles and event code for events and tamper data.

The companion standard also will define the ABT profiles as well as parameterization as defined the CEA/CPRI/IEEMA protocol panel for the different types of meter's in India. Since these companion standards are specific to India, an India specific certification of the companion standard by CPRI might be adopted, rather than the DLMS UA certification for the implementation.
