  • IEC 60364-8-1:2014 provides additional requirements, measures and recommendations for the design, erection and verification of all types of low-voltage electrical installation including local production and storage of energy for optimizing the overall efficient use of electricity. 
  • Gives guidelines for scintillation detectors nomenclature (identification) and standard dimensions of scintillators. Is applicable to all types of solid organic and inorganic scintillators used in detectors for scintillation counting and spectrometry.
  • IEC 60462:2010(E) establishes test procedures for photomultiplier tubes (PMT) for scintillation and Cherenkov detectors.
  • Applies to coaxial connectors associated with electrical measuring instruments used in nuclear instrumentation. Establishes standard dimensions of the mating parts, construction and mounting rules, voltage rating and test voltages, mininium insulation requirements, maximum contact resistances(...)
  • IEC 60502-2:2014 specifies the construction, dimensions and test requirements of power cables with extruded solid insulation from 6 kV up to 30 kV for fixed installations such as distribution networks or industrial installations. 
  • Describes characteristics and tests methods for gas-filled radiation detectors used for the protection of nuclear reactors. Applies to the radiation detectors which are installed external to the core of nuclear reactors and which provide electrical input signals to the reactor's control and(...)
  • Applicable to non-dispersive infra-red analyzers specified for installation either indoors or outdoors and used for the continuous determination of certain aspects of air quality by measuring the gaseous constituents.
  • Applies to the classification of degrees of protection provided by enclosures for electrical equipment with a rated voltage not exceeding 72,5 kV.
  • Applies to installed dose rate meters, warning assemblies and monitors that are used to prevent or mitigate a minor radioactive release, or minor degradation of fuel, within the nuclear power plants/nuclear facility design basis, and to warn personnel or to ensure their safety during or(...)
