This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2021-04-19. CENELEC members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC
Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.
Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the CEN-CENELEC
Management Centre or to any CENELEC member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation
under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre has the
same status as the official versions.
CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, the Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, the
Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland,

European foreword
The text of document 45A/1323/FDIS, future edition 1 of IEC/IEEE 60980-344, prepared by SC 45A
"Instrumentation, control and electrical power systems of nuclear facilities" of IEC/TC 45 "Nuclear
instrumentation" was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and approved by CENELEC as
The following dates are fixed:
•
latest date by which the document has to be implemented at national (dop) 2022-01-19
level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national standards conflicting with the (dow) 2024-04-19
document have to be withdrawn
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
As stated in the nuclear safety directive 2009/71/EURATOM, Chapter 1, Article 2, item 2, Member
States are not prevented from taking more stringent safety measures in the subject-matter covered by
the Directive, in compliance with Community law.
In a similar manner, this European standard does not prevent Member States from taking more
stringent nuclear safety and/or security measures in the subject-matter covered by this standard.
Endorsement notice
