This part of IEC 61175 provides rules for the composition of designations for the identification of signals and signal connections. This includes the designation of power supply.

This part of IEC 61175 is applicable to all types of signals within an industrial system, installation and equipment and industrial products. It deals with the information aspect of signals and not with their physical implementation.

Excluded from the scope are general rules for the presentation of information in human machine interfaces. This part of IEC 61175 is also not applicable for the identification of wiring, terminals, piping and other hardware connections.

NOTE For the purpose of marking of wires, see IEC 62491.

This horizontal standard is primarily intended for use by technical committees in the preparation of standards in accordance with the principles laid down in IEC Guide 108.

One of the responsibilities of a technical committee is, wherever applicable, to make use of horizontal standards in the preparation of its publications. The contents of this horizontal standard will not apply unless specifically referred to or included in the relevant publications.
