Full Description

BS PD IEC/TS 60870-5-601:2015 describes test cases for conformance testing of telecontrol equipment,Substation Automation Systems (SAS) and telecontrol systems, including front-end functionsof SCADA.

The use of this part of IEC 60870 facilitates interoperability by providing a standard method oftesting protocol implementations, but it does not guarantee interoperability of devices. It isexpected that using this part of IEC 60870 during testing will minimize the risk of noninteroperability.

The goal of this part of IEC 60870 is to enable unambiguous and standardised evaluation ofIEC 60870-5 companion standard protocol implementations. The guidelines and conditions forthe testing environment are described in IEC 60870-5-6. The detailed test cases percompanion standard, containing among others mandatory and optional mandatory test casesper Basic Application Function, ASDU and transmission procedures, will become available asa technical specification (TS). Other functionality may need additional test cases but this isbeyond the scope of this part of IEC 60870. For proper testing, it is recommended to definethese additional test cases.

This part of IEC 60870 deals mainly with communication conformance testing; therefore otherrequirements, such as safety or EMC are not covered. These requirements are covered byother standards (if applicable) and the proof of compliance for these topics is done inaccordance with these standards.
