  • Term
    Definition
  • Applies to installed dose equivalent rate meters, warning assemblies and monitors, and covers equipment intended to measure neutron radiation in dose equivalent quantities of energy between thermal and 15 MeV for the purposes of radiation protection.
  • IEC 61340-4-4:2012+A1:2014 specifies requirements for flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBC) between 0,25 m3 and 3 m3 in volume, intended for use in hazardous explosive atmospheres. The explosive atmosphere may be created by the contents in the FIBC or may exist outside the FIBC.
  • Gives requirements for core cooling monitoring instrumentation to ensure safe operation of BWRs during normal operation and during and after design basis accidents.
  • Determines the ability of a photovoltaic module to withstand exposure to ultra-violet (UV) radiation from 280 nm to 400 nm.
  • IEC 61362:2012 includes relevant technical data necessary to describe hydraulic turbine governing systems and to define their performance. It is aimed at unifying and thus facilitating the selection of relevant parameters in bidding specifications and technical bids. It will also serve as a(...)
  • Specifies essential design requirements to ensure the engineering integrity of wind turbines. Provides an appropriate level of protection against damage from all hazards during the planned lifetime.
  • IEC 61400-2:2013 deals with safety philosophy, quality assurance, and engineering integrity and specifies requirements for the safety of small wind turbines (SWTs) including design, installation, maintenance and operation under specified external conditions.
  • IEC 61400-3:2009 specifies additional requirements for assessment of the external conditions at an offshore wind turbine site and specifies essential design requirements to ensure the engineering integrity of offshore wind turbines.
  • IEC 61400-4:2012(E) is applicable to enclosed speed increasing gearboxes for horizontal axis wind turbine drivetrains with a power rating in excess of 500 kW. This standard applies to wind turbines installed onshore or offshore. It provides guidance on the analysis of the wind turbine loads in(...)
  • IEC 61400-11:2012(E) presents measurement procedures that enable noise emissions of a wind turbine to be characterised. This involves using measurement methods appropriate to noise emission assessment at locations close to the machine, in order to avoid errors due to sound propagation, but far(...)
  • Specifies a procedure for measuring the power performance characteristics of a single wind turbine and applies to the testing of wind turbines of all types and sizes connected to the electrical power network.
  • IEC 61400-12-2:2013 specifies a procedure for verifying the power performance characteristics of a single electricity-producing, horizontal axis wind turbine, which is not considered to be a small wind turbine per IEC 61400-2.
  • IEC 61400-21:2008 covers the definition and specification of the quantities to be determined for characterizing the power quality of a grid connected wind turbine; measurement procedures for quantifying the characteristics; and procedures for assessing compliance with power quality(...)
  • IEC 61400-22:2010 defines rules and procedures for a certification system for wind turbines (WT) that comprises both type certification and certification of wind turbine projects installed on land or off-shore.
  • IEC 61400-24:2010(E) applies to lightning protection of wind turbine generators and wind power systems. Defines the lightning environment for wind turbines and application of the environment for risk assessment for the wind turbine. Defines requirements for protection of blades, other(...)
  • Gives an overall description of the principles and models used in the IEC 61400-25 series of standards. The IEC 61400-25 series deals with communications between wind power plant components such as wind turbines and actors such as SCADA Systems. It is designed for a communication environment(...)
  • Specifies the information model of devices and functions related to wind power plant applications. Specifies in particular the compatible logical node names, and data names for communication between wind power plant components, including the relationship between logical devices, logical nodes(...)
  • Specifies an abstract communication service interface describing the information exchange between a client and a server for: data access and retrieval, device control, event reporting and logging, publisher/subscriber, self-description of devices (device data dictionary), data typing and(...)
  • IEC 61400-25-4:2008(E) specifies the specific mappings to protocol stacks encoding the messages required for the information exchange between a client and a remote server for data access and retrieval, device control, event reporting and logging, publisher/subscriber, self-description of(...)
  • Specifies standard techniques for testing of conformance of implementations, as well as specific measurement techniques to be applied when declaring performance parameters.
