ISO/IEC 18012-2:2012（E）规定了家用系统领域产品互操作性的分类和应用互操作性模型。它还指定了一个互操作性框架，允许多个制造商的产品协同工作，以提供特定的应用程序。它描述了存在于OSI参考模型（ISO/IEC 7498-1）堆栈之上的应用程序过程，并提供了在该领域建立可互操作应用程序所需的足够详细信息。适用于:单一实现的家庭电子系统网络、连接的设备和应用程序、多个实现的家庭电子系统网络、连接的设备和应用程序、自动配置的设备、手动配置的设备和手动配置的设备组/集群。

ISO/IEC 18012-2:2012(E) specifies a taxonomy and application interoperability model for the interoperability of products in the area of home systems. It also specifies an interoperability framework to allow products from multiple manufacturers to work together in order to provide a specific application. It describes a application process that exists above the OSI reference model (ISO/IEC 7498-1) stack, with sufficient detail needed to establish interoperable applications in this domain. It is applicable to: single implementation home electronic system networks, connected devices and applications, multiple implementation home electronic system networks, connected devices and applications, automatically configured devices, manually configured devices and manually configured groups/clusters of devices.
