General international standards in energy and heat transfer engineering

The energy industry always looks attractive to entrepreneurs because it is quite promising and profitable, despite the difficulties that may exist. In particular, we can talk about the high requirements for the quality of services provided, as well as special conditions for storage and transportation of the product. Recently, more and more attention is being paid to alternative energy sources, as well as renewable energy. Such trends can be explained by several reasons, some of which are economically justified, and some of which respond to calls for environmental protection. We advise you to pay attention to these issues first of all, because companies that want to be competitive in today's market should take care of such things, because they in turn build the company's reputation. Other important issues affecting companies' competitiveness include energy efficiency management. As we can conclude, at the moment, high profits are received by those companies that pay enough attention to the issue of compliance of their work with international standards. On the other hand, we understand that a lot of information is difficult to structure and then work with, so we have divided all international standards into thematic categories, which are posted on our website, where you can always read and get full access, and also get advice from our specialists.

Energy and heat transfer engineering in general

The energy market is known for its fierce competition as well as clear regulation. Companies that want to operate successfully must meet a number of conditions that exist in the market and regulate its activities. In order for you to get acquainted in more detail with the international standards governing energy, we have gathered them all into one category, which is presented on our website under the name Energy and heat transfer engineering in general. One of the international standards presented in the category we are talking about in this paragraph is the following SIST EN IEC 62934: 2021, called Grid integration of renewable energy generation - Terms and definitions. Its peculiarity is that the information it contains relates to renewable energy sources. Given current trends, when the industry is paying more and more attention to the issues of ecology and environmental protection. You can read the full text on our website by following the link we left below.

Energy efficiency. Energy conservation in general

The performance of any company should be monitored by managers so that they can assess performance and make the necessary adjustments to help improve performance and competitiveness. International standards governing general issues related to energy efficiency and energy conservation, we have gathered for you in one category, called Energy efficiency. Energy conservation in general. In particular, among the international standards in this category you can find the following SIST EN ISO 50005: 2022, which is also called Energy management systems - Guidelines for a phased implementation (ISO 50005: 2021). It will be a useful assistant to managers in the energy sector, as it contains information that will help to properly manage energy systems. In this category you will also be able to get acquainted with other useful international standards, as well as use the help of our specialists if you are unsure which documents will suit your company.

Internal combustion engines

Internal combustion engines are widely used in industry and are an important part of the mechanisms we use every day. However, this mechanism can be dangerous during operation, so manufacturers need to consider many nuances in their work. An important international standard, which primarily concerns safety issues, is the following ISO 6826: 2022, entitled Reciprocating internal combustion engines - Fire protection. This document provides information that will be useful to manufacturers of internal combustion engines, as it sets out the requirements for the finished product that will help reduce the risk of fire during engine operation. We would like to emphasize once again the importance of this document, as it directly determines the safety of engines that will be put into operation in the future. You can find more international standards that will be useful to you in the production of internal combustion engines on our website in the same category, at the link below.

Gas and steam turbines. Steam engines

One of the popular methods of obtaining energy is the use of steam engines, the principle of which is based on the potential energy of water vapor. Like others, this method has its advantages and disadvantages, but it is still common. Companies that manufacture steam and gas turbines need to know what regulations govern their production. We have prepared for you a whole category of international standards called Gas and steam turbines. Steam engines, where you can find a lot of useful information that will be useful to you in production. In particular, among other documents presented in this category, you can read the following IEC 60953-0: 2022, which you can also find under the name Rules for steam turbine thermal acceptance tests - Part 0: Wide range of accuracy for various types and sizes of turbines. This document defines the methods of testing steam turbines in order to confirm the safety of their further operation. You can find more useful international standards on our website.

Regulation of the energy sector of the economy

Today we have introduced you to certain categories of international standards that govern general issues in the work of companies operating in the energy sector. As we can see, there is a lot of information for this range of issues, which is why we consider it necessary to systematize it to make it easier for you to work with them. The implementation of standards contained in international standards helps companies to offer a quality and safe product on the market, as much attention in these documents is paid to the safety of further operation. Managers of energy companies should not neglect these standards, as they may lose market share if they are unable to meet current consumer needs. It is also worth noting another important trend, namely environmental friendliness, ie the search for alternative energy sources. Companies operating in the energy sector are experiencing the high level of competition that exists in the market. In order to be leaders in their segment, companies invest in scientific and technological progress and research into alternative energy sources. Managers also need to be able to competently analyze performance indicators and respond in a timely manner to fluctuations that may occur in the market. We understand that there are many international energy standards, and that new ones are constantly being created in accordance with current market demands, so we also emphasize that you can always seek the advice of our specialists, who are always ready to answer your questions.
