  • Term
    Definition
  • Describes the requirements for resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) suitable for nuclear power plant (NPP) services. The requirements of RTDs include design, materials, manufacturing, testing, calibration, procurement, and inspection.
  • Describes design and functioning criteria along with testing methods for evaluating the performance of instruments for detection of illicit trafficking of radioactive material (for example, for border radiation monitoring).
  • Specifies requirements and procedures to integrate environmental aspects into design and development processes of electrical and electronic products, including combination of products, and the materials and components of which they are composed.
  • Applicable to mobile radiation detection systems used for the detection, quantification and identification of photon and/or neutron emitters in the environment.
  • IEC 62442-2:2014 defines a measurement method of the power losses of electromagnetic controlgear, the total input power and the standby power of electronic controlgear for high intensity discharged lamps (excluding fluorescent lamps).
  • IEC 62446:2009 defines the minimal information and documentation required to be handed over to a customer following the installation of a grid connected PV system. Also describes the minimum commissioning tests, inspection criteria and documentation expected to verify the safe installation and(...)
  • Lays down standard requirements and also specifies general characteristics, general test procedures, radiation characteristics, electrical characteristics, environmental influences, mechanical characteristics, safety requirements; provides examples of acceptable methods in terms of dose to the(...)
  • IEC 62465:2010 provides strategies, technical requirements, and recommended practices for the management of normal ageing of cabling systems that are important to safety in nuclear power plants.
  • Specifies the procedure, content, and form relating to material declarations for products of companies operating in and supplying the electrotechnical industry. Process chemicals and emissions during product use are not in the scope of this International Standard.
  • Specifies the operational and performance requirements for spectroscopy-based portal monitors used for the detection and identification of illicit trafficking of radioactive material.
  • IEC 62489-2:2014 applies to audio-frequency induction-loop systems for assisted hearing. It may also be applied to such systems used for other purposes, as far as it is applicable. The standard is intended for assessment of human exposure to low-frequency magnetic fields produced by the(...)
  • IEC 62495:2011(E) is applicable to the radiological safety of portable handheld X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis equipment utilizing a miniature X-ray tube as the source of ionizing radiation for industrial applications. Establishes performance specifications for general radiation,(...)
  • IEC 62501:2009+A1:2014 applies to self-commutated converter valves, for use in a three-phase bridge voltage sourced converter (VSC) for high voltage d.c. power transmission or as part of a back-to-back link. It is restricted to electrical type and production tests.
  • Applies to radiographic inspection systems with photon radiation energy of at least 500 keV for inspection of cargo, vehicles and cargo containers.
  • Applies to hand-held instruments used for the detection and localization of radioactive photon emitting materials.
  • Applies to hand-held instruments used for the detection and localization of neutron emitting radioactive material.
  • Specifies generic terms and definitions that are related to environmental standardization within the IEC. It serves as a glossary of terminology to be considered for environmental aspects of relevant work in IEC.
  • IEC 62566:2012 provides requirements for achieving highly reliable "HDL-Programmed Devices" (HPD), for use in I&C systems of nuclear power plants performing functions of safety category A as defined by IEC 61226.
  • Applies to a single stand-alone broadcast transmitter operating in the frequency range 30 MHz to 40 GHz when put on the market. The objective of the standard is to specify, for such equipment operating in typical conditions, the method for assessment of compliance distances according to the(...)
  • IEC 62598:2011 applies to the manufacture and installation of electrical measuring systems and instruments utilizing radioactive sources (radiometric gauges, hereinafter called gauges). It also applies to source housings intended for use in the aforementioned measuring systems.
