## 4 Profiling
### Basic Application Interoperability Profile for the Examined Use Case  
The Basic Application Interoperability Profile includes all the functionalities and the information exchanged between the actors that participate in the use case. Each BAIOP entails one BAP for every link of information exchange. Each BAIOP defines the test cases (it can be more than one) to be done in order to prove that the system and the function described in the use case are properly executed. Each BAIOP contains a unique combination of BAPs for all the information links that are described in the use case. It is also reminded that each BAP corresponds to one standard/specification for every communication link in which the options are explicitly defined. For this use case, we will have two BAIOPs, one for the communication and one for the information layer. Each of them will contain the BAPs defined in Table 7 plus one BAP from Table 8, depending on the equipment under test specifications. Thus, for this use we will have two interoperability tests (Table 9). For the interoperability tests, as defined in this use case, the evaluation criteria should be:  
* The smart meter should read consumption of the load;
* The smart meter should communicate with the data concentrator;
* The data should be sent data every 5, 15 or 60 min as defined by the operator;
* The data concentrator should control the new smart meter, be able to change its parameters, be able to get instantaneous values;
* The operator (Actor B) should be able to control and monitor the smart meter through the data concentrator, i.e., get consumption data; The prerequisites of the interoperability tests also need to be defined, which are summarised as:
* Specification of equipment under test: technical and operational specification; initial criteria; \begin{table}

Once the equipment under test is identified, a companion document can be filled in with information regarding this equipment.
