Questions for the Group

• I need to inform NIST what date the IEC work will be done.

– What happens after the hand-off to the IEC Working Groups?

– How can we ensure that once the PAP’s send their information to the appropriate IEC groups, for 61850 and 61968, that the work gets completed quickly?

• What does IEC need from PAP 8?

• Can we pool our Use Cases to support PAP 3?

Interoperability Process Reference Manual (IPRM)

• The Interoperability Process Reference Manual (IPRM) is the definitive framework document for all product and system testing and certification programs sponsored by industry (industry is a broad term and may include government sponsored programs also). It describes requirements for Standard-Setting Organizations (SSO’s), Testing Organizations (TO's) and Certification Organizations (CO's) to successfully facilitate conformity assessment to product or system interoperability and cyber security standards.

• Develop a standard test methodology (61968) for submission to the IEC with inputs from:

– SGTCC

– OpenSG Conformity Group

– CIMug

– WG 14

• Use a limited number of pilot projects, starting with using the artifacts of the OpenSG work, to create the testing methodology and prove concept.

• Hand the process off to SSOs or other certifying agents to be determined at the completion of the project.
