本标准定义了终端设备和任何其他设备之间传递的公用事业应用程序数据的表结构。它既不定义设备设计标准，也不指定用于传输该数据的语言或协议。本标准中定义的表格代表用于传输数据的数据结构，不一定是终端设备内部使用的数据存储格式。

This standard defines a Table structure for utility application data to be passed between an End Device and any other device. It neither defines device design criteria nor specifies the language or protocol used to transport that data. The Tables defined in this standard represent a data structure that shall be used to transport the data, not necessarily the data storage format used inside the End Device.
