This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- support of advanced constructs such as
· conditions and constraints,
· blocks,
· cardinality,
· polymorphism,
· generic and restricted enumerations, and
· mapping;
- extended list of data types;
- harmonization with IEC 62656-1;
- support of IEC TS 62720 and of coded units;
- harmonization of semantic and administrative data among the various information objects;
- use of UML for data modelling;
- enhanced definitions and descriptions;
- introduction of examples of higher level constructs such as block, cardinality, or polymorphism as guidance for the user of the IEC 61360 series.
IEC 61360-4, IEC reference collection of standard data element types and component classes, can be accessed from IEC CDD (Common Data Dictionary) Free access to Database. The database contains the IEC reference collection of classes and associated characteristic properties (data element types or DETs) of electric/electronic components including materials, geometry and features used in electrotechnical equipment and systems. The dictionary and database follow the methodology of Part 1 of IEC 61360 and the information model of Part 2.
IEC 61360-1:2017 has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 108.

IEC 62656-5:2017 specifies a method for representing activities and relations among the activities by a tabular ontology representation, called “parcellized activity model” or PAM for short, which is a specialized use of a generic tabular ontology data model, known as the parcellized ontology model (POM) defined in Part 1 of the IEC 62656 series. The activities that can be described by this document include part or whole of an enterprise, an organization or a collection of services, a set of events or processes which interact with each other by exchanging physical or non-physical entities. This part of IEC 62656 also defines a method for uniquely identifying activities, or their homologues happenings in a certain sequence. In addition, this document identifies flows of information, objects or materials exchanged among activities, where each of the activities is represented by a class and each flow by a relation.

IEC TS 62720:2017(E) specifies identifiers for units to support computer-based processing of product data. It provides a survey of quantities with associated collections of internationally standardized as well as non–standardized units used in business and science.
It covers any standard or non-standard units of measure currently in use, in two or more distinct ethno-linguistic groups or nations, at least in one domain of industry, for which an explicit method of conversion to a known standard unit of measure or its equivalent is well documented or evident from external references.

IEC 61360-6:2016 provides guidance for the definition of concepts that are used to describe classes and properties submitted for update of the content of IEC Common Data Dictionary (IEC CDD). This includes:
- a basic understanding of key concepts and procedures used within IEC CDD;
- a binding reference for quality control of IEC 61360 compliant dictionary content;
- guidance on documents where necessary in-depth knowledge can be acquired.
IEC 61360-4, IEC reference collection of standard data element types and component classes, can be accessed from IEC CDD (Common Data Dictionary) Free access to Database. The database contains the IEC reference collection of classes and associated characteristic properties (data element types or DETs) of electric/electronic components including materials, geometry and features used in electrotechnical equipment and systems. The dictionary and database follow the methodology of Part 1 of IEC 61360 and the information model of Part 2.

IEC 60436:2015 applies to electric dishwashers for household and similar use that are supplied with hot and/or cold water. The object is to state and define the principal performance characteristics of electric dishwashers for household and similar use and to describe the standard methods of measuring these characteristics. This standard is concerned neither with safety nor with minimum performance requirements. This edition constitutes a technical revision and includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Addition of a specification of the reference dishwasher G1222, addition of the microwave oven 752C, inclusion of standby/low power modes and updated cutlery and tableware items.
b) Combined cleaning and drying: combining the cleaning and drying performance evaluations into one test, along with the energy and water consumption evaluation, prevents an opportunity for circumvention if tests were performed separately. A dishwasher can detect whether soil is present (cleaning evaluation) or not (drying evaluation) and adjust the cycle to favour performance; combining the tests addresses this.
c) New dish load items: new dish load items were incorporated which reflect consumer use. New items are: stainless pots, coffee mugs, melamine plastic items, and glass bowl. The new load items provide different shapes which challenge a dishwasher water spray patterns and provide additional surfaces for soil removal assessment.
d) Detergent: a new detergent "D" is specified which mirrors current tablet formulations available on the market. Detergent type D is phosphate free, with percarbonate instead of perborate bleach and more active enzymes.
e) Repeatability and reproducibility improvements.
f) Addition of annexes for the evaluation of soil sensing programmes, rinsing performance, dishwasher filtration and of an annex on the inlet water temperature influence on energy consumption.
The contents of the corrigendum of September 2020 have been included in this copy.

IEC 62656-3:2015 defines a formal mapping between the IEC 62656 and meta-model for CIM in order to import the CIM ontology into the IEC CDD, and to ensure the interoperability of ontologies of two standards, or even among a wider spectrum of standards. For the basis of the mapping from CIM to the data model defined in IEC 62656-1, the UML representation of CIM is referenced.

IEC 62656-1:2014 specifies the logical structure for a set of spreadsheets, used as "data parcels", to define, transfer and register product ontologies. The spreadsheet interface structure defined in this part of IEC 62656 contains the following:
- Definition and specification of the logical structure and layout of the spreadsheet interface for definition, transfer, and registering of a reference dictionary;
- Definition and specification of library instance data belonging to a class of a reference dictionary described by a set of spreadsheets conformant to this part of IEC 62656;
- Definition and specification of the meta dictionary that enables the definition and transfer of a reference dictionary as a set of instance data conforming to the meta dictionary;
- Definition and specification of the meta-model as data that enables the definition and transfer of a reference dictionary as a set of instance data conforming to the meta-meta-dictionary;
- Specification of the mapping between the dictionary data expressed in the spreadsheet format and the EXPRESS model specified by IEC 61360-2/ISO 13584-42 (with some elements of ISO 13584-25);
- Description of the basic semantic mapping between the dictionary data expressed in the spreadsheet formats defined in this part of IEC 62656 and that of DIN 4002.

IEC 62656-2:2013 provides an application guide for the data parcels specified in IEC 62656-1 and used for the definition of a domain data dictionary that may be imported from and exported to the IEC common data dictionary, or IEC CDD for short, maintained as the IEC 61360-4 database. It provides instructions for the interpretation and use of the technical specification defined in IEC 62656-1 within a software application, to avoid misuse of the data constructs available in IEC 62656-1.

IEC/TS 62720:2013 specifies identifiers for units to support computer-based processing of product data. It provides a survey of quantities with associated collections of internationally standardized as well as non-standardized units used in business and science. It concerns any standard or non-standard units of measure currently in use, in two or more distinct ethno-linguistic groups or nations, at least in one domain of industry, for which an explicit method of conversion to a known standard unit of measure or its equivalent is well documented or evident from external references.

L'IEC 61360-2:2012 fournit un modèle formel pour les données conformément au domaine d'application donné dans l'IEC 61360-1 et l'ISO 13584-42.

IEC 61360-1:2009 provides a firm basis for the clear and unambiguous definition of characteristic properties (data element types) of all elements of electrotechnical systems from basic components to sub-assemblies and full systems. The principles and methods of this standard may be used in areas outside the original conception such as assemblies of components and electrotechnical systems and subsystems. In addition, this standard provides for establishing a classification hierarchy and the allocation of applicable and relevant properties to each of the classes so established in order to describe fully the characteristics of objects belonging to that class. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- extended administrative data for status and source of content;
- support of multiple language variants for data element types and classes;
- support for multiple alternative units for data element types;
- improved conventions for definition writing based on ISO 704 and ISO/IEC 11179-4;
- enhanced definitions and descriptions.
It has the status of a horizontal standard in accordance with IEC Guide 108.
