This presentation describes the IEEE standards work undertaken in the last six years on refining the testing requirements for devices with communications functions. The new P1613 draft harmonizes closely with the IEC requirements for electric utility equipment with some differences. Its harmonized Scope includes most utility-owned smart grid control equipment with a COM port. Updates were also made to the Protective Relaying Standards IEEE-C37.90.1, C37.90.2 and C37.90.3 to harmonize them with more modern testing requirements in the IEC with some differences.
