BRITISH STANDARD

National foreword
This British Standard is the UK implementation of
EN 61784-5-15:2012+A1:2015. It is identical to IEC 61784-5-15:2010,
incorporating amendment 1:2015. It supersedes BS EN 61784-5-15:2012,
which is withdrawn.
The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is
indicated in the text by tags. Tags indicating changes to IEC text carry
the number of the IEC amendment. For example, text altered by IEC
amendment 1 is indicated by .
The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical
Committee AMT/7, Industrial communications: process measurement and
control, including fieldbus.
A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained
on request to its secretary.
This publication does not purport to include all the necessary provisions
of a contract. Users are responsible for its correct application.

For general background on fieldbuses, their profiles, and relationship between the installation
profiles specified in this standard, see IEC/TR 61158-1.
Each CP installation profile is specified in a separate annex of this standard. Each annex is
structured exactly as the reference standard IEC 61918 for the benefit of the persons
representing the roles in the fieldbus installation process as defined in IEC 61918 (planner,
installer, verification personnel, validation personnel, maintenance personnel, administration
personnel). By reading the installation profile in conjunction with IEC 61918, these persons
immediately know which requirements are common for the installation of all CPs and which
are modified or replaced. The conventions used to draft this standard are defined in Clause 5.
The provision of the installation profiles in one standard for each CPF (for example
IEC 61784-5-15 for CPF 15), allows readers to work with standards of a convenient size.

The annex clauses and subclauses of this standard supplement, modify, or replace the
respective clauses and subclauses in IEC 61918.
Where there is no corresponding subclause of IEC 61918. in the normative annexes in this
standard, the subclause of I IEC 61918 applies without modification.
The annex heading letter represents the installation profile assigned in Clause 4. The annex
(sub)clause numbering following the annex letter shall represent the corresponding
(sub)clause numbering of IEC 61918.
EXAMPLE

“Annex B.4.4” in IEC 61784-5-3 means that CP 3/2 specifies the Subclause 4.4 of IEC 61918.

All main clauses of IEC 61918 are cited and apply in full unless otherwise stated in each
normative installation profile annex.
If all subclauses of a (sub)clause are omitted, then the corresponding IEC 61918 (sub)clause
applies.
If in a (sub)clause it is written “Not applicable”, then the corresponding IEC 61918 (sub)clause
does not apply.
If in a (sub)clause it is written “Addition”, then the corresponding IEC 61918 (sub)clause
applies with the additions written in the profile.
If in a (sub)clause it is written “Replacement”, then the text provided in the profile replaces the
text of the corresponding IEC 61918 (sub)clause.
NOTE

A replacement can also comprise additions.

If in a (sub)clause it is written “Modification”, then the corresponding IEC 61918 (sub)clause
applies with the modifications written in the profile.
If all (sub)clauses of a (sub)clause are omitted but in this (sub)clause it is written
“(Sub)clause x has addition” (or “replacement”) or “(Sub)clause x is not applicable”, then
(sub)clause x becomes valid as declared and all the other corresponding

IEC 61918 (sub)clauses apply.
