What is BS IEC 61636-1 about?
BS IEC 61636-1 is the first element of a multi-series standard. It deals with the advanced languages in computer science for collecting and analyzing the important information.
BS IEC 61636-1 specifies the definition of an exchange format, utilizing Web Ontology Language (OWL) and extensible markup language (XML) for exchanging data resulting from executing tests of a unit under test (UUT) via a test program in an automatic test environment.
Who is BS IEC 61636-1 for?
BS IEC 61636-1 on web ontology language (OWL) and extensible markup language (XML) is applicable to:
- Maintenance organizations within various departments
- System developers and maintainers
- Test program set (TPS) developers
- TPS maintainers
- Automatic test equipment (ATE) system developers
- ATE system maintainers
- Test instruments developers
- Reliability, maintainability and diagnostic analytical applications
Why should you use BS IEC 61636-1?
Software Interface for Maintenance Information Collection and Analysis (SIMICA) is associated with web ontologies (OWL) and extensible markup language (XML) schemas which allow automatic test system (ATS), test result and session information and maintenance action information to be exchanged in a common format adhering to the OWL and XML standards.
BS IEC 61636-1 can help the maintainers of complex systems, to capture and share test result information in a way that supports such activities as performance analysis, post-production product improvement, maintenance process improvement and diagnostic maturation.
BS IEC 61636-1 provides you formal specifications of the information required for the development of shared maintenance data and the results of testing which allows you to automate industrial processes.
BS IEC 61636-1 will give test result data to be shared for variety of purposes including statistical analysis, diagnostics and improvement of the unit under test (UUT) repair process which you can easily implement and incorporate into your automation systems.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS IEC 61636-1:2021 supersedes BS IEC 61636-1:2016, which is now withdrawn.
