About This Item
IEC 61850-5:2013/AMD1:2022 provides an amendment to the communication requirements used for functions and device models in power utility automation, building on IEC 61850-5:2013. For engineering teams, system integrators, and compliance reviewers, it is relevant when assessing how communication behavior supports reliable automation design, technical validation, and documented evaluation. IEC 61850-5:2013/AMD1:2022 is therefore best treated as a supporting technical reference for reviewing updated requirements within a broader utility communication architecture.
Purpose of IEC 61850-5:2013/AMD1:2022
The purpose of IEC 61850-5:2013/AMD1:2022 is to modify the communication requirements framework for power utility automation functions and associated device models. In practice, that means it may be used during technical review of interoperability expectations, performance criteria, and communication-related engineering documentation. Organizations involved in control system design, integration, or conformity assessment can use it to align implementation and verification activities with the parent document while accounting for the amendment’s updates.
Compliance applications of IEC 61850-5:2013/AMD1:2022
This amendment is typically relevant in procurement review, laboratory evaluation, and compliance workflows for power utility automation systems that depend on defined communication behavior. It can support technical assessment of device models, communication profiles, and system-level consistency when preparing engineering specifications or verification plans. Teams working on substations, automation equipment, or related control environments may use it as a compliance reference when checking whether project documentation and testing workflows reflect the amended requirements of the parent standard.
Benefits of IEC 61850-5:2013/AMD1:2022
Using IEC 61850-5:2013/AMD1:2022 in a standards management process helps reduce ambiguity when applying communication requirements to utility automation functions. It supports safety-oriented design review, interoperability checks, and more consistent verification activities across engineering and testing teams. For procurement and conformity assessment preparation, it can improve traceability between technical requirements and implementation evidence, helping organizations manage operational consistency, technical validation, and risk reduction with greater confidence.
