IEC 60072-2: 2025 covers the majority of rotating electrical machines for industrial purposes within the dimension range and output powers: - Foot-mounted: shaft heights: 355 mm to 1 000 mm. - Flange-mounted: pitch circle diameter of flange: 1 180 mm to 2 360 mm. It gives tables of fixing dimensions, shaft extension dimensions and their tolerances. However, the variety of construction and the wide range of applications for the large machines with shaft heights above 315 mm have led to the establishment of a relatively large number of values for the dimension in order to cover all possible constructions. Owing to this, the present part covers a wider range than IEC 60072-1 within which range values suitable for all designs or for a more detailed standardization can be chosen. NOTE The mounting dimensions given in this document for shaft heights 355 mm and 400 mm have been chosen from values given in IEC 60072-1. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1990. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) complete revision on the basis of IEC 60072-1; b) additional tolerances and measurements for shafts and flanges (DIN SPEC 42955).

IEC 61000-4-30:2025 defines the methods for measurement and interpretation of results for power quality parameters in AC power supply systems with a declared fundamental frequency of 50 Hz or 60 Hz. Measurement methods are described for each relevant parameter in terms that give reliable and repeatable results, regardless of the method’s implementation. This document addresses measurement methods for in-situ measurements. This document covers two classes of measurement methods (Class A and Class S). The classes of measurement are specified in Clause 4.
NOTE 1 In this document, “A” stands for “advanced” and “S” stands for “surveys”.
Measurement of parameters covered by this document is limited to conducted phenomena in power systems. The power quality parameters considered in this document are power frequency, magnitude of the supply voltage, flicker, supply voltage dips and swells, voltage interruptions, transient voltages, supply voltage unbalance, voltage harmonics and interharmonics, rapid voltage changes, mains communicating system (MCS) voltages, magnitude of current, harmonic currents, interharmonic currents and current unbalance. Emissions in the 2 kHz to 150 kHz range are considered in Annex C and Annex D. Depending on the purpose of the measurement, all or a subset of the phenomena on this list can be measured.
NOTE 2 Test methods for verifying compliance with this document can be found in IEC 62586-2.
NOTE 3 The effects of transducers inserted between the power system and the instrument are acknowledged but not addressed in detail in this document. Guidance about effects of transducers can be found IEC TR 61869-103.

f) Annex E (Class B) was removed.

IEC 60079-18:2025 gives the specific requirements for the construction, testing and marking of electrical Ex Equipment, parts of electrical Ex Equipment and Ex Components with the Type of Protection encapsulation "m" (hereinafter referred to as "m" Equipment) intended for use in explosive gas atmospheres or explosive dust atmospheres. For Levels of Protection "mb" and "mc", this document applies where the rated voltage does not exceed 11 kV ACRMS or DC. For Level of Protection "ma", this document applies where the rated voltage does not exceed 1 kV ACRMS or DC. This document does not take account of any hazard due to an emission of flammable or toxic gas from the dust. This document supplements and modifies the general requirements of IEC 60079-0. Where a requirement of this document conflicts with a requirement of IEC 60079-0, the requirement of this document takes precedence. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2014 and Amendment 1:2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This International Standard is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60079-0, Explosive atmospheres - Part 0: Equipment - General requirements. Users of this document are advised that interpretation sheets clarifying the interpretation of this document can be published. Interpretation sheets are available from the IEC webstore and can be found in the "history" tab of the page for each document. Please see the foreword to this document for the list of significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition.

This document describes the type, layout, location, and feedback display of available electro-mechanical and electronic transmission gear shifters found in passenger cars (including sport utility vehicles and light trucks) and in commercial vehicles (including heavy trucks and buses). The transmission gear shifters are located on the steering column, instrument panel, floor and centre consoles. Specifically, this document addresses shift by-wire electro-mechanical selectors that adapt the control of vehicle movement according to road conditions and personal preference. Conventional mechanical shifters are also referenced so correspondence between traditional linear P, R, N, D, L, M/S control types, layouts, locations and direction of control motions and electro-mechanical/electronic transmission gear shifters (simply, e-shifters) can be established. This document is based on observations and survey results described in Annexes A and B for passenger cars and commercial vehicles respectively. The results are independent of vehicle propulsion systems and define the layout, spatial orientation and control movement patterns for the following drive functions: — drive (D=forward movement), — reverse (R=rearward movement), — park (P=stationary), — neutral (N=freewheeling to allow stationary or forward-reverse without drive functions engaged), — low (L=remain in low gear),and/or — manual or sequential (M or S to engage manual drive mode). The control types of the transmission gear shifters that are within scope of this document are lever (pivot, slider and gated), dial/rotary, push button and toggle switch. Paddle shifters and ‘automatic-manual shifters’ are not specifically included in the scope. However, they are referenced so that if a transmission gear shifter has a ‘manual mode’ by which drive gear control is transferred to or shared with the paddle or automatic-manual transmission it is identified. This document also identifies control types, location and feedback displays of drive mode selectors. Their control types within scope are lever, dial/rotary, push button, toggle/rocker switch, touch screen and steering wheel paddle switches. These are located in the centre console, steering wheel or instrument panel of the vehicle. Various types of visual, auditory or haptic feedback correspond to display activations, control positions, and graphical representations in the head-up display, centre console, instrument panel, display audio or instrument cluster display. This document does not specifically include head-up displays, but it is foreseeable that graphical representations could appear in future head-up displays. Leaving the limitations of mechanical shifters means control freedom gets bigger. It is therefore likely that control types as well as the combination of transmission and brake functions will continue to develop. In this document, specific details about hybrid or electric drives are excluded. The same is in general valid for engine brake, auxiliary brake, or regeneration/recuperation programs. However, brake functions are to some extent still mentioned as part of drive modes found in the surveys. For commercial vehicles, and with the continued introduction of electric drivelines, these brake programs are likely to get even more related to different drive modes. It is foreseen that more information can be added at later stage, as separate ISO documents.
