NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 8) which is identical with IEC 61968-8 : 2015 ‘Application integration at electric utilities — System interfaces for distribution management — Part 8: Interfaces for customer operations’ issued by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Power System Control and Associated Communications Sectional Committee and approval of the Electronics and Information Technology Division Council.

This standard is one of the parts of a series of standards on ‘Application integration at electric utilities — System interfaces for distribution management’. The other parts in this series are:

Part 1 Interface architecture and general recommendations

Part 2 Glossary

Part 3 Interface for network operations

Part 4 Interfaces for records and asset management

Part 6 Interfaces for maintenance and construction

Part 9 Interfaces for meter reading and control

The text of IEC Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminology and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
