prBAS EN IEC 62683-2-3:2026

IEC 62683-2:2024 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. This document does not cover: - exchange format such as defined in VDMA 66413, - explosive atmosphere applications, - manufacturer specific features.
