DIN EN 62394:2016-03

This International Standard specifies requirements for service diagnostic software to be implemented in products that incorporate a digital interface. It does not specify requirements for carrying out remote diagnosis or for manufacturer-dependent software. The SDI (Service Diagnostic Interface) requires an external controller (exclusive or general-purpose/PC) into which service diagnostic software can be loaded. Part of the controller software should be standardized while another part of this controller software should be unique to the manufacturer. To reach a common approach in servicing all products from all manufacturers, it is necessary to standardize specific items to be tested in products and in controllers' diagnostic software.
