IEC TR 62351-13:2016（E）提供了关于电力行业使用的标准和规范（IEC或其他）可以或应该涵盖哪些安全主题的指南，因此，受众是标准和规范的开发者。这些指南不可能对每一个标准都有规定性，因为个别标准和规范可能有着完全不同的关注点，但在任何实现中使用的此类标准和规范的组合应该涵盖这些安全主题。因此，这些指南将用作系统实施中使用的标准和规范组合的检查表。

IEC TR 62351-13:2016(E) provides guidelines on what security topics could or should be covered in standards and specifications (IEC or otherwise) that are to be used in the power industry, and the audience is therefore the developers of standards and specifications. These guidelines cannot be prescriptive for every standard, since individual standards and specifications may legitimately have very different focuses, but it should be expected that the combination of such standards and specifications used in any implementation should cover these security topics. These guidelines are therefore to be used as a checklist for the combination of standards and specifications used in implementations of systems.
