What is BS EN 50631-1- Generic Data Modelling and Neutral Messages ?
BS EN 50631-1 discusses household appliances network and grid connectivity. BS EN 50631-1 defines data models for Interoperable Connected Household Appliances. The data model is derived from a logical decomposition of use cases into functional blocks that themselves are realized by abstract actions on the data model itself.

Why should you use BS EN 50631-1 – Generic Data Modelling and Neutral Messages ?
Energy management systems will more and more become necessary due to change from fossil and nuclear to renewable production and the associated decentralisation. Since an appropriate standard for home & building management is in preparation BS EN 50631-1 European Standard specifies how sets of products from multiple manufacturers are able to interoperate with Home & Building / Customer Energy Management Systems, located in a home network or in the cloud, in the most interoperable manner. BS EN 50631-1 focuses on interoperability of household appliances and describes the necessary control and monitoring. BS EN 50631-1 defines a set of functions of household and similar electrical appliances. The functions in BS EN 50631-1 cover next to energy-management main remote-control and – monitoring use cases.
The intention of BS EN 50631-1 is to describe the main pillars of interoperability, a set of neutral messages for information exchange, based on common Smart Appliance relevant user stories and use cases, and the mapping onto existing and upcoming communication technologies to enable interoperability within a Smart Grid, Smart Building, and Smart Home area.
