The Code Components for IEC 61850 data models (like basic types, presence conditions, … definition in this IEC standard) are available as the file format NSD defined by standard IEC 61850-7-7.

Each Code Component is a ZIP package containing the electronic representation of the Code Component itself, with a file describing the content of the package (IECManifest.xml).

The IECManifest contains different sections giving information on:

- The copyright notice

- The identification of the code component

- The publication related to the code component

- The list of the electronic files which compose the code component

- An optional list of history files to track changes during the evolution process of the code component

The life cycle of a code component is not restricted to the life cycle of the related publication. The publication life cycle goes through two stages, Version (corresponding to an edition) and Revision (corresponding to an amendment). A third publication stage (Release) allows publication of Code Component without need to publish an amendment.

This is useful when InterOp Tissues need to be fixed. Then a new release of the Code Component will be released, which supersedes the previous release, and distributed through the IEC TC57 web site.
