FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC document(s)"). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation.
IEEE Standards documents are developed within IEEE Societies and Standards Coordinating Committees of the
IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) Standards Board. IEEE develops its standards through a consensus
development process, approved by the American National Standards Institute, which brings together volunteers
representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve the final product. Volunteers are not necessarily members
of IEEE and serve without compensation. While IEEE administers the process and establishes rules to promote
fairness in the consensus development process, IEEE does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the
accuracy of any of the information contained in its standards. Use of IEEE Standards documents is wholly
voluntary. IEEE documents are made available for use subject to important notices and legal disclaimers (see
http://standards.ieee.org/ipr/disclaimers.html for more information).
IEC collaborates closely with IEEE in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations. This Dual Logo International Standard was jointly developed by the IEC and IEEE under the terms
of that agreement.
2) The formal decisions of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of
opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC
National Committees. The formal decisions of IEEE on technical matters, once consensus within IEEE Societies
and Standards Coordinating Committees has been reached, is determined by a balanced ballot of materially
interested parties who indicate interest in reviewing the proposed standard. Final approval of the IEEE standards
document is given by the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) Standards Board.
3) IEC/IEEE Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees/IEEE Societies in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical
content of IEC/IEEE Publications is accurate, IEC or IEEE cannot be held responsible for the way in which they
are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
(including IEC/IEEE Publications) transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional
publications. Any divergence between any IEC/IEEE Publication and the corresponding national or regional
publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC and IEEE do not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC and IEEE are not responsible
for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or IEEE or their directors, employees, servants or agents including individual
experts and members of technical committees and IEC National Committees, or volunteers of IEEE Societies and
the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE SA) Standards Board, for any
personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for
costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC/IEEE
Publication or any other IEC or IEEE Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that implementation of this IEC/IEEE Publication may require use of material
covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the existence or
validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. IEC or IEEE shall not be held responsible for identifying
Essential Patent Claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or
scope of Patent Claims or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in connection with
submission of a Letter of Assurance, if any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or non-discriminatory.
Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent rights, and the risk
of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own responsibility.
IEEE Std 1636.1™-2018
IEC 61636-1/IEEE Std 1636.1 was processed through IEC technical committee 91: Electronics
assembly technology, under the IEC/IEEE Dual Logo Agreement. It is an International Standard.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
IEEE Std FDIS Report on voting
1636.1 (2018) 91/1717/FDIS 91/1729/RVD
Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.
The language used for the development of this International Standard is English.
The IEC Technical Committee and IEEE Technical Committee have decided that the contents
of this document will remain unchanged until the stability date indicated on the IEC website
under webstore.iec.ch in the data related to the specific document. At this date, the document
will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

Abstract: Promoting and facilitating interoperability between components of automatic test systems
where test results need to be shared is addressed in this standard. The standard thus facilitates the
capture of test results data in storage devices and databases, facilitating online and offline analysis.
The test results schema becomes a class of information that can be used within the SIMICA family
of standards. The exchange format is expressed in both the OWL and XML formats.
