    Definition
  • IEC/TS 62282-7-1:2010(E) covers cell assemblies, test apparatus, measuring instruments and measuring methods, performance test methods, and test reports for PEFC single cells.
  • Provides an introduction to the remaining parts of the IEC 62351 series, primarily to introduce the reader to various aspects of information security as applied to power system operations. The scope of the IEC 62351 series is information security for power system control operations. Its(...)
  • IEC 62351-2:2008 (E) covers the key terms used in the IEC 62351 series, and is not meant to be a definitive list. Most terms used for cyber security are formally defined by other standards organizations, and so are included here with references to where they were originally defined.
  • Specifies how to provide confidentiality, tamper detection, and message level authentication for SCADA and telecontrol protocols that make use of TCP/IP as a message transport layer.
  • Specifies procedures, protocol extensions, and algorithms to facilitate securing ISO 9506 - Manufacturing Message Specification (MMS) based applications. It is intended that this technical specification be referenced as a normative part of other IEC TC 57 standards that have the need for using(...)
  • Specifies messages, procedures, and algorithms for securing the operation of all protocols based on or derived from the standard IEC 61850. Applies to at least those protocols of IEC 61850-8-1, IEC 61850-9-2 and IEC 61850-6.
  • IEC/TS 62351-7:2010(E) defines network and system management (NSM) data object models that are specific to power system operations. These NSM data objects are used to monitor the health of networks and systems, to detect possible security intrusions, and to manage the performance and(...)
  • IEC/TS 62548:2013(E) sets out design requirements for photovoltaic (PV) arrays including d.c. array wiring, electrical protection devices, switching and earthing provisions. The scope includes all parts of the PV array up to but not including energy storage devices, power conversion equipment(...)
  • IEC/TS 62600-1:2011(E) defines the terms relevant to ocean and marine renewable energy. For the purposes of this Technical Specification, sources of ocean and marine renewable energy are taken to include wave, tidal current, and other water current energy converters.
  • IEC/TS 62600-100:2012(E) provides a method for assessing the electrical power production performance of a Wave Energy Converter (WEC), based on the performance at a testing site. Provides a systematic method which includes: measurement of WEC power output in a range of sea states; WEC power(...)
  • IEC/TS 62600-200:2013(E) provides the following items: a systematic methodology for evaluating the power performance of tidal current energy converters (TECs) that produce electricity for utility scale and localized grids; a definition of TEC rated power and rated water velocity; a methodology(...)
  • Provides guidance on the design, planning, operation, installation, commissioning and maintenance of intrusion and hold-up alarm system (I&HAS) installed in buildings. Requirements for I&HAS are specified in IEC 62642-1:2010. It also applies to intruder alarm system and hold-up alarm system(...)
  • IEC/TS 62727:2012(E) provides guidelines for the parameters to be specified for solar trackers for photovoltaic systems and provides recommendations for measurement techniques. The purpose of this test specification is to define the performance characteristics of trackers and describe the(...)
  • Applies to all types of counting dosemeters, irrespective of the measuring quantity and the type of radiation intended to be measured. It ensures that a single radiation pulse can be correctly measured even if the dosemeter is in the internal state relevant for measuring background or(...)
  • This IEC Technical Specification pertains to Photovoltaic (PV) modules – Cyclic (dynamic) mechanical load testing.
  • Describes equipment inspection and radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic field measurement procedures for evaluation of RF industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) equipment installed in the user's facility.
  • Definitions of terms in the field of antennas are provided.
  • Provides many of the procedures currently used by antenna test organization.
  • The standard for measurement methods of emissions from FM and television broadcast receivers in the frequency range of 9 kHz to 40 GHz. Spurious radiation from sound and television broadcast receivers of the superheterodyne type are possible sources of interference with other radio services.(...)
  • Terms and definitions used in the context of electromagnetic wave propagation relating to the fields of telecommunications, remote sensing, radio astronomy, optical waves, plasma waves, the ionosphere, the magnetosphere, and magnetohydrodynamic, acoustic, and electrostatic waves are supplied.
