FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

This consolidated version of the official IEC Standard and its amendment has been
prepared for user convenience.

IEC 61850-7-3 edition 2.1 contains the second edition (2010-12) [documents 57/1087/
FDIS and 57/1085/RVD] and its amendment 1 (2020-02) [documents 57/2101/FDIS and
57/2132/RVD].

International Standard IEC 61850-7-3 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 57: Power
systems management and associated information exchange.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2003.

Compared to the first edition, this second edition:

• defines new common data classes used for new standards defining object models for other

Compared to the second edition, this first revision of the second edition:

a) provides clarifications and corrections to the second edition of IEC 61850-7-3, based on the
tissues = { 690, 691, 692, 697, 698, 707, 709, 711, 722, 814, 816, 819, 832, 839, 846, 868,

b) includes semantic of attributes within tables in clauses 6 and 7 and thus removes the need
for explicit semantic definition in Clause 8;
c) Clause 8 now contains definitions of newly introduced explicit enumerated types (with
tables); this is fully backward compatible as the value of the literals have not changed;
d) some subclauses in clause 7 have different numbering because of introduction of some
abstract types (that group common attributes for several concrete types);
e) first subclause under any CDC group in Clause 7, that contained the tables with applicable
services with respect to functional constraints, have been removed; that information is
explicitly defined in IEC 61850-7-2 with functional constraints, and temporarily included as
Annex B, Functional constraints;
f) content of 6.2.7 and 6.2.8 has been moved to the normative Annex D of IEC 61850-7-2:
Clarification on usage of quality;
g) implements extension introduced by IEC 62351-6 for security;
h) presence conditions have been redesigned and renamed to support their uniform usage in
all of the IEC 61850-7-xxx series as necessary. Below is the table containing the old and
the new presence conditions:

INTRODUCTION

This document is part of a set of specifications, that details layered substation communication
architecture. This architecture has been chosen to provide abstract definitions of classes and
services such that the specifications are independent of specific protocol stacks and objects.
The mapping of these abstract classes and services to communication stacks is outside the
scope of IEC 61850-7-x and may be found in IEC 61850-8-x (station bus) and IEC 61850-9-x
(process bus).

IEC 61850-7-1 gives an overview of this communication architecture. This part of IEC 61850
defines constructed attributed classes and common data classes related to applications in the
power system using IEC 61850 modeling concepts such as substations, hydro power or
distributed energy resources. These common data classes are used in IEC 61850-7-4 to define
compatible dataObject classes. The SubDataObjects, DataAttributes or SubAttributes of the
instances of dataObject are accessed using services defined in IEC 61850-7-2.

This part of IEC 61850 is used to specify the abstract common data class and constructed
attribute class definitions. These abstract definitions are mapped into concrete object definitions
that are to be used for a particular protocol (for example MMS, ISO 9506 series).

Common data classes

1 Scope

1.1 General

This part of IEC 61850 specifies constructed attribute classes and common data classes related
to substation applications. In particular, it specifies:

– common data classes for status information,

– common data classes for measured information,
– common data classes for control,
– common data classes for status settings,
– common data classes for analogue settings and
– attribute types used in these common data classes.

This International Standard is applicable to the description of device models and functions of
substations and feeder equipment.

This International Standard may also be applied, for example, to describe device models and
functions for:

– substation to substation information exchange,

– substation to control centre information exchange,
– power plant to control centre information exchange,
– information exchange for distributed generation, or
– information exchange for metering.

1.3 Code Component distribution

The Code Component will be available in light and full version:

– Full version will contain definition of the whole LNs defined in this standard with the
documentation associated and access will be restricted to purchaser of this part.
– Light version will not contain the documentation but will contain the whole definition of the
LNs as per full version, and this light version will be freely accessible on the IEC website
for download, but the usage remains under the licensing conditions.

The link for downloading the light version of this code component is:

http://www.iec.ch/public/TC57/supportdocuments/IEC_61850-7-3.NSD.2007B3.light.zip

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 IEC 61850-7-7.

The Code Component(s) included in this IEC standard are potentially subject to maintenance
works and user shall select the latest release in the repository located at:

http://www.iec.ch/TC57/supportdocuments

The latest version/release of the document will be found by selecting the file IEC_61850-7-
3.NSD.{VersionStateInfo}.light.zip with the filed VersionStateInfo of the highest value.

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.
