Information technology - Home Electronic System (HES) application model - Part 5: A safety framework and guidelines for control and data communication messages

ISO/IEC 15067-5:2026 addresses the safety of persons and premises when using devices and appliances ("products") with interfaces to a communications network in a home or building ("premises"). Such products are called "networked appliances" and "networked products." This document specifies basic requirements for safer operation of products that can be controlled remotely via a connection to a communications network. The network can enable such products to form integrated applications. These products can interact via the premises network and can be controlled remotely from within the premises and from a wide area network outside connected to the premises network via a communications gateway.

Recommendations and methods for remote-control message screening and guidelines for selecting messages to minimize risk are specified. These specifications can enhance safety in a home control system (hcs).

The safety requirements specified in this document apply together with any relevant product safety standards.
