Drafting Implementation As discussed in Feb 2026 WG 17 meeting 23 Jul 26
Discussion (red) It seems the warning on enumeration names is following a CIM modelling guide recommendation.
This tissue avoids the warning and prepares for the publication of IEC 61850-7-430 Ed1: Distribution Automation

Triage Please note that the name of an enumeration is not normative. You can change the name of an enumeration without having to create a tissue for that.
What is normative is the literal of the enumeration for a given data object.
See IEC 61850-7-2 Ed2.1 Clause 6.1
