Since no single standard can cover all aspects for the full application range of smart metering systems, the deliverable takes the form of this Technical Report. This Technical Report concerns the following communication areas within M/441: A European standard comprising a software and hardware open architecture for utility meters for utility companies that supports bidirectional communication upstream and downstream through standardized interfaces and data exchange formats and allows advanced information, management and control systems for consumers and service suppliers. The architecture shall be scalable to support from the simplest to the most complex applications. Furthermore, the architecture shall consider current relevant communications media and be adaptable for future communication media. The communication standard of the open architecture shall allow the secure interfacing for data exchanges with the protected metrological block. The responsible committee is K 461 "Elektrizitätszähler" ("Electricity meters") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
