IEEE 1613-2003 pdf download IEEE Standard Environmental and Testing Requirements for Communications Networking Devices in Electric Power Substations
1.Overview
Communications networking devices are being installed in electric power substations. Examples includeradios, encryption devices, port switches, autodialers, modems, Ethernet hubs and switches, routers, gateways, and firewalls. This standard establishes a common reproducible basis for designing and evaluatingcommunications networking devices for this harsh environment. It does not include communications facilities and equipment integral to protective relaying applications.
1.1 Scope
This document specifies standard service conditions, standard ratings, environmental performance requirements, and testing requirements for communications networking devices installed in electric power substations. It does not cover such equipment designed for operation in other environments, such as officelocations. It does not cover such equipment used in protective relaying applications, for which IEEE StdC37.90TM-1989 B61,IEEE Std C37.90.1TM-2002 B71,IEEE Std C37.90.2TM-1995 B81, and IEEE StdC37.90.3TM-2001[B9]apply.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of this standard is to define the environmental conditions present in electric power substationsand to establish a common reproducible basis for designing and evaluating communications networkingdevices to be installed in those substations. It is a freestanding document, with only one normative referenceto another standard.

3. Definitions and word usage
For this standard, the following terms and definitions apply. IEEE 100TM, The Authoritative Dictionary ofIEEE Standards Terms Seventh Edition (B4], should be referenced for terms not defined in this clause.
3.1 Definitions
3.1.1 autodialer: A device that can open a telephone line and initiate a call by transmitting a stored telephone number. This functionality could be built into a modem or it may be a stand-alone device.
3.1.2 communications networking device: An intelligent electronic device (IED) that is an element of acommunications network Examples of such IEDs include modems, Ethernet hubs and switches, routers.bridges, autodialers, firewalls, and port switches.
3.1.3 firewall: A device or combination of hardware and software used to enforce communication securityby blocking unauthorized access to a local area network (LAN).
3.1.4 port switch: A serial communication device that allows a user to connect to one of several communi-cation ports through a single interface.
3.1.5 shielded enclosure: Screen or solid metal housing designed expressly for the purpose of isolating theinternal equipment from the external electromagnetic environment.
3.2 Word usage
3.2.1 Shall
The word shall, equivalent to “is required to,” is used to indicate mandatory requirements, strictly to be fol-lowed in order to conform to the standard and from which no deviation is permitted.
3.2.2 Recommended
The word recommended is used to indicate flexibility of choice with a strong preference alternative
