IEC 61513 Ed. 2.0 b – Nuclear power plants – Instrumentation and control important to safety – General requirements for systems

Instrumentation and control (I&C) systems important to safety may be implemented using conventional hard-wired equipment, computer-based (CB) equipment or by using a combination of both types of equipment (see Note 1). IEC 61513:2011 provides requirements and recommendations for the overall I&C architecture which may contain either or both technologies. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
– alignment with the latest revisions of IAEA documents;
– alignment with new editions of IEC 60880, IEC 61226, IEC 62138, IEC 62340 and IEC 60987;
– alignment with significant advances of software engineering techniques;
– integration of requirements for staff training.
