This standard BS EN 14908-7:2019 Open communication in building automation, controls and building management. Control Network Protocol is classified in these ICS categories:

• 97.120 Automatic controls for household use
• 91.140.01 Installations in buildings in general
• 35.240.67 IT applications in building and construction industry

This document specifies a communication protocol for networked control systems. The protocol provides peer-to-peer communication for networked control using web-services. The document describes services in layer 2 and layer 3.

The layer 2 (data link layer) specification also describes the MAC sub-layer interface to the physical layer. The physical layer provides a choice of transmission media. The layer 3 (network layer), as described in EN 14908?1, is integrated in UDP/IP communication using IPv4 and IPv6 protocols.
