    Definition
  • IEC/TR 62096:2009 is intended to support owners of a nuclear power plant in the decision-making process and in the preparation for partial or complete modernization of the I&C. For this, it provides a summary of the motivating factors for I&C modernization, the principal options for the(...)
  • A technical report intended to give assistance to standard-writers of IEC Technical Committee 20, to take into account the relevant environmental aspects as far as they are specific to electric cables in normal use.
  • Gives guidelines for the instrumentation and control systems of interim storage and final repository of nuclear fuel and waste. Covers storage at all types of facilities, such as, fuel fabrication plants, nuclear power plants, reprocessing facilities, interim storage facilities, encapsulation(...)
  • Covers procedures for the installation and maintenance of optical fibre cables on overhead power lines.
  • Gives information for the assessment of factors associated with the polymer recycling and/or reuse of typical insulating materials in electrotechnical equipment.
  • Gives guidelines for the application of the uncertainty analysis according to the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM) for measurements covered by standards of IEC Subcommittee 45B.
  • Provides a framework for the use of internationally accepted standards, tools and practices to evaluate electrical and electronic products with respect to restricted substances.
  • Addresses the application of closed serial digital communications systems (often termed fieldbuses) used for transmission of safety-related data in the realisation of safety functions at machinery.
  • Provides a methodology for information exchange involving EEE manufacturers and recyclers, and for calculating the recyclability and recoverability rates to provide information to recyclers to enable appropriate and optimized EoL treatment operations, provide sufficient information to(...)
  • It contains a series of case studies for the evaluation of electromagnetic (EM) sources in the frequency range 100 kHz - 300 GHz to support the methods detailed in the international standard IEC 62232, Determination of RF field strength and SAR in the vicinity of radiocommunication base(...)
  • Provides information about the assessment aspects of safe communication such as test beds, proof of increased interference immunity (EMC for functional safety), electrical safety, and other environmental requirements.
  • Intended to provide users with guidance to understand methodologies and to evaluate carbon footprint of products (hereinafter referred to as CFP), by quantifying the greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions (hereinafter referred to as CFP study) for Electrical and Electronic products (hereinafter(...)
  • IEC/TR 62837:2013(E) provides to the technical committees a framework for the development and adaptation of documents in order to improve energy efficiency in manufacturing, process control and industrial facility management.
  • For a given current path through the human body, the danger to persons depends mainly on the magnitude and duration of the current flow. However, the time/current zones specified in this publication are, in many cases, not directly applicable in practice for designing measures of protection(...)
  • Describes the effects on the human body when a sinusoidal alternating current in the frequency range above 100 Hz passes through it.
  • Provides guidance on the ignitability of electrotechnical products and the materials from which they are formed. It gives guidance on the principles of ignitability, the selection of appropriate test methods, and the use and interpretation of results
  • Gives a summary of the test methods that are used in the assessment of the corrosivity of fire effluent. It presents a brief summary of test methods in common use, either as international standards or national or industry standards. It includes special observations on their relevance, for(...)
  • Describes test methods which measure corrosion damage effects, on targets, of fire effluent from the combustion of test specimens. Both leakage current and metal loss can be measured by using appropriate targets.
  • Describes the test methods for the determination of the specific optical density of smoke produced by materials used in electrotechnical products using the apparatus described in technical specification IEC/TS 60695-6-30.
  • Describes the calculation procedure for converting the data generated by chemical analysis in IEC 60695-7-50 into predicted toxic potency data for material tested under defined conditions. This is in order to estimate the contribution of the fire effluent of an end-product or material to the(...)
