    Definition
  • Presents a set of software subroutines to provide a general capability for communications with CAMAC systems as defined in IEC 60516
  • Applies to the partial evaluation of thermal motor protectors as defined in IEC 60730-1 for household and similar use, including heating, air conditioning and similar applications as well as for sealed (hermetic and semi-hermetic type) motor-compressors. A thermal motor protector is considered(...)
  • IEC 60737:2010 deals with specific requirements for nuclear applications of temperature sensors. It provides guidance which will help to ensure that the reactor conditions do not damage the temperature sensors; it ensures that the in-core temperature measuring system and the sensor(...)
  • Specifies the apparatus and procedure for the determination of the amount of halogen acid gas, other than hydrofluoric acid, evolved during the combustion of compounds based on halogenated polymers and compounds containing halogenated additives taken from electric or optical fibre cable(...)
  • Specifies the apparatus and procedure for the determination of the potential corrosivity of gases evolved during the combustion of materials taken from electric or optical fibre cable constructions by measuring the acidity (pH) and conductivity of an aqueous solution resulting from the gases(...)
  • Lays down mandatory general requirements and gives examples of acceptable methods for equipment for continuous monitoring of radioactivity in gaseous effluents. Specifies general characteristics, general test procedures, radiation, electrical, safety and environmental characteristics and the(...)
  • Establishes specific standard requirements, including technical characteristics and general test conditions, and gives examples of acceptable methods for aerosol effluent monitors.
  • Lays down specific standard requirements, including technical characteristics and general test conditions, and gives examples of acceptable methods for noble gas effluent monitors.
  • Lays down specific standard requirements, including technical characteristics and general test conditions, and gives examples of acceptable methods for iodine monitors.
  • Establishes specific standard requirements, including technical characteristics and general test conditions and gives examples of acceptable methods for the tritium effluent monitors.
  • IEC 60768:2009 provides criteria for the design, selection, testing, calibration and functional location of equipment for the monitoring of radioactive substances within plant-process streams during normal operation conditions and anticipated operational occurrences. Is only applicable to(...)
  • This standard specifies methods for:- assessment of the functionality of intelligent transmitters;- testing the operational behaviour, as well as the static and dynamic performance of an intelligent transmitter and methodologies for determining the reliability and diagnostic features used to(...)
  • Applies to cable penetrations in reactor containments. Covers the engineered safety requirements to be in the design, calculation, fabrication, assembly, testing, installation and maintenance of cable penetrations. Describes the requirements for the design, construction, test and installation(...)
  • Applies to CAMAC systems as defined in IEC 60516. The generic standard for BASIC includes a real-time enhancement which is necessarily general. This standard defines specific syntax and semantics for use with CAMAC.
  • Describes successively the general qualification process, the qualification procedures and methods to be used and the associated documentation. Is applicable to electrical equipment of safety systems used in nuclear power plants.
  • IEC 60794-4-10:2014 which is a family specification, covers cable construction, test methods and optical, mechanical, environmental and electrical performance requirements for OPGW (optical ground wire) which is used for the protection of electrical power lines against atmospheric discharges(...)
  • Applicable to safety of laser products emitting laser radiation in the wavelength range 180 nm to 1 mm. A laser product may consist of a single laser with or without a separate power supply or may incorporate one or more lasers in a complex optical, electrical, or mechanical system.
  • Gives the essential requirements for insulating sticks for live working for use on a.c. electrical installations. The products designed and manufactured according to this standard contribute to the safety of the users provided they are used by skilled persons, in accordance with safe methods(...)
  • Gives the essential requirements for devices that can be attached onto and removed from the fitting of the insulating sticks for live working, for use on a.c. electrical installations.
  • Specifies the general requirements for the performance, reliability and security characteristics of alarm transmission systems. Covers the general requirements for connections providing signalling between an alarm system and an alarm receiving centre.
