IEC TS 60870-5-604:2016（E）作为IEC TS 60870-5-604:2016 RLV提供，其中包含国际标准及其红线版本，显示了与上一版本相比技术内容的所有变化。 IEC TS 60870-5-604:2016(E)描述了使用IEC 60870-5-104配套标准和IEC 60870-5-6《IEC 60870-5-5配套标准一致性测试指南》对远动设备、变电站自动化系统(SAS)和远动系统（包括SCADA前端功能）进行一致性测试的测试用例。IEC 60870这一部分的使用通过提供测试协议实现的标准方法来促进互操作性。与上一版相比，此新版本包括以下重大技术变更: -解决歧义； -改进一些测试用例以增强被测设备之间的可操作性； -增加了一些测试用例（主要是阴性测试用例）。

IEC TS 60870-5-604:2016(E) is available as IEC TS 60870-5-604:2016 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.

IEC TS 60870-5-604:2016(E) describes test cases for conformance testing of telecontrol equipment, Substation Automation Systems (SAS) and telecontrol systems, including front-end functions of SCADA, using the IEC 60870-5-104 companion standard and IEC 60870-5-6, Guidelines for conformance testing for the IEC 60870-5 companion standards. The use of this part of IEC 60870 facilitates interoperability by providing a standard method of testing protocol implementations. This new edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- resolution of ambiguities;
- refinement of some test cases to enhance operability between tested devices;
- addition of some test cases (mainly negative test cases).
