States a set of encoding rules, the A-XDR3 encoding rules, that may be used to derive the specification of a transfer syntax for values of types defined in the DLMS core standard using the ASN.1 notation.

Defines a set of encoding rules that may be used to derive the specification of a transfer syntax for values of types defined in the DLMS core standard using the ASN.1 notation (see IEC 61334-4-41).

This publication is of high relevance for Smart Grid.
