BS EN 16836-1:2016 gives provisions on the standardization framework of communication systems
applicable to the exchange of data from metering devices to other devices within a mesh network. It
includes information on the application process functions, layered protocols and metering architecture.This European Standard also specifies how to interpret Parts 2 and 3 of EN 16836 which give a list of
references to the ZigBee documents. This standard is applicable to communications systems that
involve messages and networking between a meter or multiple meters and other devices in a mesh
network, such as in home displays (IHDs) and communications hubs. This standard allows routing
between devices and also allows channel agility to avoid contention with other networks of the same
type, or networks of other types operating in the same frequency bands.This standard is designed to support low power communications for devices such as gas and water
meters which can make data from such devices available on the mesh network at any time through a
proxy capability within a permanently powered deviceNOTE 1 This standard specifies a communication protocol that can embrace a multitude of smart metering
architectures from a variety of countries. This standard is not designed to limit, or indeed imply a choice or
preference to any one of the many possible architectures, but more over provide information on how devices can
use this communications standard to publish and receive information from meters over a network.NOTE 2 This standard defines a protocol that can be used for either a type M interface, or a type H1 interface,
however H1 interfaces are not within the scope of CEN/TC 294.Cross References:CEN/CLC/ETSI/TR 50572:2011IEEE 802.15.4EN ISO/IEC 7498-1ISO/IEC 7498-1EN 13757-3EN 62056-5-3IEC 62056-5-3EN 62056-6-1IEC 62056-6-1EN 62056-6-2IEC 62056-6-2EN 300328:2015EN 14154All current amendments available at time of purchase are included with the purchase of this document.
