Overview
EN 45510-8-1:1998 - published by CEN - is a guidance standard for preparing technical specifications when procuring Control and Instrumentation (C&I) equipment for electricity generating stations. The Guide helps specification writers define requirements for instrumentation, control systems and related procurement documentation used in power stations in general. It explicitly excludes equipment for use in the nuclear reactor plant area of nuclear power stations and does not address other potential applications outside electricity generation.
Key topics
This procurement guide outlines the typical elements to include when specifying C&I for power stations. Key topics covered or recommended by the Guide include:
- Scope and functional requirements for control and instrumentation systems in power stations
- Performance and reliability expectations relevant to plant operation and process control
- Environmental and site conditions (e.g., ambient, humidity, vibration) for equipment selection
- Interfaces and interoperability between control systems, field instruments and plant networks
- Testing and acceptance criteria including factory and site acceptance testing
- Documentation and deliverables (drawings, manuals, software records, calibration certificates)
- Quality assurance and inspection requirements for suppliers and contractors
- Maintenance, spare parts and lifecycle considerations to support long‑term operation
(The Guide provides structure and wording guidance for these topics to produce clear, consistent technical specifications for tenders and procurement.)
Applications
EN 45510-8-1 is practical for organizations involved in specifying or buying C&I for non‑nuclear power plants:
- Procurement engineers and tender writers preparing specifications and contract documents
- Project managers and EPC contractors defining supplier scope and deliverables
- Power plant operators and maintenance teams setting acceptance, testing and lifecycle requirements
- Consultants and system integrators developing functional and technical requirements for control systems
Typical uses include preparing tender documents, evaluating supplier proposals, defining acceptance tests, and ensuring equipment meets operational and environmental needs.
Related standards
- This Guide sits within the EN 45510 series for power station equipment procurement.
- Users should consider relevant national and international standards for instrumentation and control (for example, applicable IEC and CEN standards) and plant‑specific regulatory requirements when preparing final technical specifications.
