DIN EN IEC 63365 VDE 0170-100:2023-09

This standard applies to products used in the process measurement, control and automation industry. It establishes a concept and requirements for the digital nameplate and provides alternative electronically readable solutions (e.g. 2D codes, RFID or firmware) to current conventional plain text marking on the nameplate or packaging of products. The Digital Nameplate information is contained in the electronically readable medium affixed to the product, the packaging or accompanying documents. The Digital Nameplate information is available without Internet connection. After electronic reading, all Digital Nameplate information is displayed in a human readable text format. This standard does not specify the contents of either the conventional nameplate or the digital nameplate, which are subject to regional or national regulations and standards. This document does not specify requirements for the Identification Link string (globally unique, machine readable identifier), which is covered by IEC 61406.
