History
The structures were originally known as the "Tucker Tables" (after Richard Tucker.) The tables were developed under the auspices of the American National Standards Institute, C12, SC17, WG2. The standard is sponsored by NEMA, and also published as MC12.19 and IEEE Std 1377. Popularity of the tables has grown over the years such that most electric meter vendors in North America now support and use the tables in their products. The committee (working group 2) is currently chaired by Avygdor Moise and released a revision 2 of the standard in 2008, revision 2.1 of the standard in 2012. Effective 2014, the object identifiers (device classes) and XML documents (TDLs/EDLs) of this standard are managed and registered by the Energy Communications Management eXchange (ECMX) under the supervision of the North American End Device Registration Authority (NAEDRA).External links
