    Definition
  • IEC 61970-453:2008(E) defines, at an abstract level, the content and exchange mechanisms used for data transmitted between control center components. Includes the general use cases for exchange of graphic schematic display definitions, and guidelines for linking the schematic definitions with(...)
  • Specifies the format and rules for producing a machine readable form of the Common Information Model (CIM) as specified in the IEC 61970-301 standard. Describes a CIM vocabulary to support the data access facility and associated CIM semantics.
  • Provides a uniform method for describing and characterizing the background in a spectrum from an HPGe detector. Provides both manufacturers and end users with a way to specify the low-background performance of the detector and allows the comparison of detectors used for these kinds of measurements.
  • This IEC standard deals with industrial-process measurement and control - Data structures and elements in process equipment catalogues.
  • IEC 62003:2009 establishes requirements for electromagnetic compatibility testing of instrumentation and control equipment supplied for use in systems important to safety at nuclear power plants
  • Defines the test, the measuring methods and the contractual guarantee conditions for field acceptance tests of the generating machinery in small hydroelectric power installations. It applies to installations containing impulse or reaction turbines with unit power up to about 15 MW and(...)
  • Defines an installed monitor for the control and detection of radioactivity of gamma emitters contained in recyclable or non-recyclable materials transported by vehicle, the conceptual requirements, general characteristics, mechanical characteristics, environmental conditions, minimal(...)
  • Specifies the process and requirements to declare the environmental aspects concerning uninterruptible power systems (UPS), with the goal of promoting reduction of any adverse environmental impact during a complete UPS life cycle.
  • IEC 62047-20:2014 specifies terms and definitions, ratings and characteristics, and measuring methods of gyroscopes. Gyroscopes are primarily used for consumer, general industries and aerospace applications. MEMS and semiconductor lasers are widely used for device technology of gyroscopes.
  • Specifies the determination of Poisson’s ratio from the test results obtained by the application of uniaxial and biaxial loads to thin-film micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) materials with lengths and widths less than 10 mm and thicknesses less than 10 µm.
  • Specifies a tensile test method to measure electromechanical properties of conductive thin micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) materials bonded on non-conductive flexible substrates.
  • Describes hardware and protocol specifications for local meter data exchange. In such systems, a hand-held unit (HHU) or a unit with equivalent functions is connected to a tariff device or a group of devices.
  • Specifies the physical layer services and protocols within the Companion Specification for Energy Metering (COSEM) three-layer connection oriented profile for asynchronous data communication.
  • Specifies the data link layer for connection-oriented, HDLC-based, asynchronous communication profile.
  • Specifies the transport layers for COSEM communication profiles for use on IPv4 networks. These communication profiles contain a connection-less and a connection-oriented transport layer, providing OSI-style services to the service user COSEM application layer. The connection-less transport(...)
  • Specifies requirements and makes recommendations for the design, integration and validation of safety-related electrical, electronic and programmable electronic control systems (SRECS) for machines (see Notes 1 and 2).
  • Establishes standard test procedures for photodiodes used in scintillation detectors and defines the parameters which shall be provided by the supplier for each type of photodiode.
  • Establishes standard methods for calibration and use of alpha/beta gas proportional counters, including measurement of their characteristics. Applies to alpha/beta gas proportional counting systems used for the determination of the alpha-ray or beta-ray emission rates of radionuclides in(...)
  • Establishes requirements for the design qualification of balance-of-system (BOS) components used in terrestrial photovoltaic systems. Is suitable for operation in indoor, conditioned or unconditioned; or outdoor in general open-air climates, protected or unprotected. Is written for dedicated(...)
  • IEC 62097:2009 is applicable to the assessment of the efficiency and performance of prototype hydraulic machine from model test results, with consideration of scale effect including the effect of surface roughness.
