UNE-EN IEC/IEEE 62582-1:2026

This part of the IEC/IEEE 62582 series contains requirements for application of the other partsof IEC/IEEE 62582 related to specific methods for condition monitoring in electrical equipmentimportant to safety of nuclear power plants. It also includes requirements which are common toall methods. The procedures defined in IEC/IEEE 62582 are intended for detailed conditionmonitoring.IEC/IEEE 62582 specifies condition monitoring methods in sufficient detail to enhance theaccuracy and repeatability, and provide standard formats for reporting the results. The methodsspecified are applicable to electrical equipment containing organic or polymeric materials. Somemethods are especially designed for the measurement of condition of a limited range ofequipment whilst others can be applied to all types of equipment for which the organic polymericparts are accessible.Although the scope of IEC/IEEE 62582 is limited to the application of instrumentation andcontrol systems important to safety, the condition monitoring methods may can also beapplicable to other components which include organic or polymeric materials.The different parts of IEC/IEEE 62582 are measurement standards, primarily for use in themanagement of ageing in initial qualification and after installation. For the technical backgroundof condition monitoring methods, reference is made to other IEC standards, e.g.IEC 60544-5 [1]. Information on the role of condition monitoring in qualification of electricalequipment important to safety is found in IEC/IEEE Std 60780-323. General information onmanagement of ageing can be found in IEC 62342 [5] and IEEE 1205 [6].NOTE A simplified version of the procedures can be appropriate for preliminary assessmentof the need for detailed measurements.
