IEC 63237-1:2022 provides a method for standardizing the descriptions of household electrical appliances.
The aims of this document are to:
- define a common language for customers and suppliers through the publication of classes, represented by properties and their attributes;
- enable electronic data exchange by machines (including information technology systems, see machine-to-machine communication [M2M]);
- optimize workflows between customers and suppliers, as well as in processes, such as engineering, development and purchasing within their own organizations;
- offer also a dictionary to legislators; and
- reduce transaction costs.
This document describes household electrical appliances using properties and makes the associated properties available in the IEC Common Data Dictionary (IEC CDD).
Furthermore, this document provides rules, methods and the generic data structure for product specific classification standards and on how to produce a reference dictionary based on the IEC 61360 series. This in turn creates a descriptive basis of company internal and external descriptions of household electrical appliances based on structured classes and lists of properties.
