Description / Abstract:
Scope and object
This part of IEC/IEEE 62582 contains requirements for
application of the other parts of IEC/IEEE 62582 related to
specific methods for condition monitoring in electrical equipment
important to safety of nuclear power plants. It also includes
requirements which 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 especially designed for
the measurement of 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 ageing in initial
qualification and after installation. For technical background of
condition monitoring methods, reference is made to other IEC
standards, e.g. IEC 60544-5. Information on the role of condition
monitoring in qualification of equipment important to safety is
found in IEEE Std 323. General information on management of ageing
can be found in IEC 62342 and IEEE 1205.
NOTE The procedures defined in the IEC/IEEE 62582 are intended
for detailed condition monitoring. A simplified version of the
procedures may be appropriate for preliminary assessment of the
need for detailed measurements.
