BACKGROUND -- In 2002, the Joint Committee on the NTCIP approved a proposed Work Item to develop "Object Definitions for ELMS" by the Electrical and Lighting Management Systems Working Group. The standard specifies objects for the features, functionality, and point of interoperability for ELMS equipment. A draft of the ELMS standard had been prepared through a sub-committee of the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA). The draft was converted from XML to ASN.1 Object Macro format to form the basis of NTCIP 1213.

ELMS equipment is a telemetry-based remote monitoring and control system for highway lighting. ELMS can be a tool for lowering costs, improving maintenance management, implementing lighting curfews, and increasing safety. Although different providers of ELMS equipment have their own sets of features and interfaces, the NTCIP 1213 standard creates a common set of features and functionality, and defines the point of interoperability.

VERSION v02 -- (The version v01 was jumped to v02 when the draft included systems engineering content.) In February 2004, the Joint Committee accepted NTCIP 1213 as a User Comment Draft. In March 2004, Standards Bulletin B0090 issued 1213 v01.03 for review and comment. In December 2005, the NTCIP Joint Committee accepted 1213 v2.19 as a Recommended Standard. In December 2006, Standards Bulletin B0111 send 1213 v02.19d to the SDOs for ballot and approval.

In September 2008, NTCIP 1213 was Jointly Approved. AASHTO approved in September 2008; ITE approved in March 2008; NEMA approved in June 2007.

In September 2009, the NTCIP 1213 was included in the "NIST Framework and Roadmap for Smart Grid Interoperability Standards," released at the Washington, DC "GridWeek."

FORECAST:

In 2008-2009 -- NTCIP 1213 included Normative Reference violations, and MIB syntax errors. The ELMS WG members and NEMA staff were resolving the issues.
