IEC/IEEE 62582-1:2024 is available as IEC/IEEE 62582-1:2024 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC/IEEE 62582-1:2024 contains requirements for application of the other parts of IEC/IEEE 62582 related to specific methods for condition monitoring in electrical equipment important to safety of nuclear power plants. It also includes requirements which are common to all methods. The procedures defined in IEC/IEEE 62582 are intended for detailed condition monitoring.
IEC/IEEE 62582 specifies condition monitoring methods in sufficient detail to enhance the accuracy and repeatability, and provide standard formats for reporting the results. The methods specified are applicable to electrical equipment containing polymeric materials. Some methods are especially designed for the measurement of condition of a limited range of equipment whilst others can be applied to all types of equipment for which the polymeric parts are accessible.

IEC/IEEE 63332-387:2024 defines the criteria for the application and testing of diesel generator (DG) units used as safety class standby power supplies in nuclear facilities. In general, the standard applies to new nuclear facilities as well as for upgrading or back-fitting of existing facilities. Existing facilities can voluntarily adopt the requirements to enhance the performance capabilities and reliability of the installed DG units. The standard can be used in applications where highly reliable onsite alternating current (AC) power source is required to maintain plant safety following an event with potential loss of offsite power for an extended duration.
This document provides the principal design criteria, the design features, testing, and qualification requirements for the individual DG units that enable them to meet their functional requirements as a part of the standby power supply under the conditions produced by the design basis events catalogued in the plant safety analysis.

In particular, good practices for managing applications and data, including backup and restoration related to accidental failure, are out of scope.
This document summarizes key insights of the international and cyber-risk approaches used at NPPs regarding the application of ISO/IEC 27005:2018 [5]. The evaluation is based on 11 challenges to cybersecurity risk management and their applicability to NPP risk management. The challenges are detailed in Clause 7.

ISO/IEC 15067-3:2024 focuses on a model of a system in homes and buildings that can manage energy consumption and generation of electricity by devices on premises dynamically in response to electricity availability from:
– sources within the home or building such as solar panels, wind turbines, or storage (stationary or mobile),
– neighbourhood microgrids,
– transactive energy,
– energy aggregators, and
– public utilities.
This document specifies a model including a framework and methods for energy management consisting of interconnected elements that can be configured to support various methods for a Home Electronic System (HES) energy management system. The methods specified are intended to be generic and representative of a wide range of situations. This document applies to the customer grid-edge portion of the electricity grid (within a home or building) and applies even if the consumer has sufficient local power generation to operate without connecting to a public utility.
This document includes an energy management model that balances power supplied from internal and external sources with demand from appliances and electric vehicle chargers. The model offers flexibility for locating the energy management equipment in a stand-alone product, embedded in consumer electronics, or hosted in a gateway. This gateway can be a generic communications interface between a home network and an external network, an energy management gateway designed for handling energy-related data, or the HES gateway specified in the ISO/IEC 15045 series.
This model specifies a local controller that achieves the allocation of power in accordance with available supplies, consumer preferences for appliance operation, and power requirements of these appliances within constraints set by the consumer. Such constraints are typically financial (a budget for electricity) but can also include goals such as using green sources and minimizing their impact on climate change. This controller is called the energy management agent (EMA) since it acts as an agent for the consumer. This model accommodates an EMA with technology of artificial intelligence to facilitate energy management.

IEC 80601-2-49:2018 applies to basic safety and essential performance requirements of multifunction patient monitors, hereafter referred to as ME equipment or medical electrical systems. This particular standard applies to multifunction patient monitors intended for use in professional healthcare facilities as well as in the emergency medical service environment or the home healthcare environment.
The scope of this document is restricted to ME equipment or medical electrical systems intended for connection to a single patient that has two or more physiological monitoring units.
For purposes of this document, a pregnant mother and her fetus(es) are considered a single patient.
This document does not specify requirements for individual physiological monitoring units such as ECG, invasive pressure and pulse oximetry. The particular standards related to these physiological monitoring units specify requirements from the perspective of stand-alone ME equipment. This particular standard addresses the additional requirements related to multifunction patient monitors. Multifunction patient monitors can be integrated into other ME equipment or medical electrical systems. When this is the case, other relevant standards also apply.
This document does not apply to implantable parts of multifunction patient monitors.

IEC 60079:2024 contains the specific requirements for the design of electrical systems, selection, installation and the required initial inspection of electrical installations of Ex Equipment in, or associated with, explosive atmospheres including requirements for documentation and personnel competency.
These requirements are in addition to the requirements for installations in non-hazardous areas.
This document applies to all electrical Ex Equipment including fixed, transportable, portable and personal, and installations, permanent or temporary.
This document does not apply to:
• electrical installations in mines susceptible to firedamp;

No account is taken in this document of the toxic hazards that are associated with flammable gases, liquids and dusts in concentrations that are usually very much less than the lower flammable limit. In locations where personnel could be exposed to potentially toxic concentrations of flammable material, appropriate precautions are necessary. Such precautions are outside the scope of this document.
This sixth edition cancels and replaces the fifth edition published in 2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision. Edition 6 is a major restructure and introduces a number of technical changes from the previous edition (2013), see Table 1 of the foreword for detailed information.

IEC 60050-815 gives the terms and definitions for the wide area of superconductivity-related technologies, from the physics to their applications representing the present state-of-the–art. This new edition reviews and complements the previous one. It has the status of a horizontal publication in accordance with IEC Guide 108.
