IEEE 1851:2012

New IEEE Standard - Superseded.
An integrated framework of the test software for household appliances is defined. This standard specifies the test environment and the test information as well as the means to acquire the information (either Web services or a data-exchange file). Additional files are available at http://standards.ieee.org/downloads/1851/index.html

This standard defines the integrated framework of the test software for household appliances oriented to the data from intelligent sensors, including system framework, interfaces of Web services, and data exchange formats, which can be divided as: (1) The system framework to integrate the distributed test applications; (2) The description of appliance test environment and test information, including the metadata of the whole test application, the metadata of the appliance to be tested, the metadata of the sensors, and the sensor data; (3) The file format of test data to be exchanged among distributed test applications; (4) The Web services to transform and transfer monitored data.
This standard defines the file format of test data from household appliances and the Web services that enable the exchange of such test data. Implementation of this standard solves the interoperability and integration problems for building test applications for household appliances as well as the problems related to the exchange of test data.
