scope:

This document specifies the functional safety and reliability data model descriptions for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear to be used by engineering tools for the design of safety related control systems according to IEC 62061, IEC 61508-2 and ISO 13849-1, and for dependability analysis of electrotechnical systems. This dictionary is used to facilitate the exchange between computers of data characterizing low-voltage switchgear and controlgear. Each property has an unambiguously defined meaning and naming, and where relevant, a defined value list, a defined format and a defined unit. The data models described in this document are intended to complement the product catalogue data defined by IEC 62683-1 DB. This document does not cover: - exchange format such as defined in VDMA 66413, - explosive atmosphere applications, - manufacturer specific features.
