What is BS IEC/IEEE 62582-1 - Electrical equipment condition monitoring for NPP about?
The IEC/IEEE 62582 series is a European Standard series that discusses various requirements of Instrumentation and control important to safety for nuclear power plants.
BS IEC/IEEE 62582-1 is the first part of the IEC/IEEE 62582, and specifies requirements for the application of the other parts of IEC/IEEE 62582 related to specific methods for condition monitoring in electrical equipment important to the safety of nuclear power plants. BS IEC/IEEE 62582-1 also includes requirements that are common to all methods.
IEC/IEEE 62582 specifies condition monitoring methods in sufficient detail to enhance the accuracy and repeatability and provide standard formats for reporting the results. The methods specified are applicable to electrical equipment containing organic or polymeric materials. Some methods are specially designed for the measurement of the condition of a limited range of equipment whilst others can be applied to all types of equipment for which the organic parts are accessible.
Although the scope of IEC/IEEE 62582 is limited to the application of instrumentation and control systems important to safety, the condition monitoring methods may be applicable also to other components which include organic or polymeric materials.
The different parts of IEC/IEEE 62582 are measurement standards, primarily for use in the management of aging in initial qualification and after installation. For the technical background of condition monitoring methods, reference is made to other IEC standards, e.g. BS IEC 60544-5.
Information on the role of condition monitoring in the qualification of equipment important to safety is found in IEEE 323. General information on the management of aging can be found in BS IEC 62342 and IEEE 1205.
The procedures defined in the IEC/IEEE 62582 are intended for detailed condition monitoring. A simplified version of the procedures may be appropriate for a preliminary assessment of the need for detailed measurements.
