What is IEC 63297:2025?

Published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), IEC 63297 explains the performance classification system for NILM sensors. These are smart energy monitoring devices that measure energy use at the appliance level without intrusive installation.

  • Sampling frequency
  • Output data rate
  • Data bit rate

The standard classifies sensors by:

Voltaware's compliance shows that our IEC-certified smart energy device meets strict standards for data collection, processing, and transmission. This gives a solid technical foundation for accurate energy analysis, AI-driven insights, and easy appliance-level energy tracking.
(Note: Voltaware is not a smart meter but complements smart meter platforms with detailed appliance-level insights.)

    With better support for AI energy usage breakdown by appliance, Voltaware gives more reliable advice. This includes usage trends, waste detection, and appliance performance warnings.
  • Peace of Mind
    This certification shows that experts have reviewed Voltaware’s energy usage monitor. It meets international IEC energy standards for safety, documentation, and electromagnetic compatibility.
  • Future-Ready Tech
    As utilities and energy analytics platforms work on global compliance, Voltaware is ahead. Fully ready to integrate into advanced energy systems and utility analytics platforms.

Why This Matters for the Industry

For energy providers, platform developers, and ecosystem integrators, this certification offers:

  • Transparent, standards-based device classification of NILM sensors
  • Verified sensor documentation and performance metrics
  • Integration confidence for energy efficiency platforms, utility dashboards, or smart home energy solutions
  • Readiness for regulatory compliance and IEC 63297 NILM sensor standards

Voltaware sensors can now be identified by their IEC class codes, like 2BM, 5AX, or PBL. This change helps partners assess capabilities using clear and consistent criteria from the IEC energy standards.

Redefining NILM Sensor Standards

According to IEC 63297, a NILM sensing device (NSD) connects electrical data to AI energy analysing. Voltaware sensors collect high-frequency data and send it securely to our platform. There, our algorithms monitor energy use for each appliance in real time.

This certification confirms that our device:

  • Captures high-resolution energy data with precision
  • Supports high-speed output for cloud-based analytics
  • Meets IEC standards for NILM safety, data accuracy, and EMC compliance
  • Integrates seamlessly into smart home environments and third-party energy platforms
