In order that all measurement equipment from various applications can communicate with a smart meter gateway in an interoperable manner, the OMS-Group has developed a future-proof communication standard that is based on European standards. As such, the Open Metering System is perfectly suited as a stable interface in products that use consumer data – such as in smart homes or buildings.
In a memorandum of understanding (MoU), the VDE Testing and Certification Institute (VDE Institute) will conduct certifications on measurement equipment to certify compliance with OMS standards.
