Nuclear power plants - Instrumentation and control important to safety - Electrical equipment condition monitoring methods - Part 6: Insulation resistance
IEC/IEEE 62582-6:2019 contains methods for condition monitoring of organic and polymeric materials in instrumentation and control cables using insulation resistance measurements in the detail necessary to produce accurate and reproducible results during simulated accident conditions. It includes the requirements for the measurement system and measurement procedure, and the reporting of the measurement results.
NOTE Measurement of insulation resistance during simulated accident conditions with the aim of determining the lowest value during the accident in order to assess cable performance involves special requirements given in this document. Methods for measurement under stable (non-accident) conditions are available in other international standards, e.g. IEC 62631-3-3.
The different parts of the IEC/IEEE 62582 series are measurement standards, primarily for use in the management of ageing in initial qualification and after installation. IEC/IEEE 62582-1 includes requirements for the application of the other parts of the IEC/IEEE 62582 series and some elements which are common to all methods. Information on the role of condition monitoring in qualification of equipment important to safety is found in IEC/IEEE 60780-323.
Centrales nucléaires de puissance - Instrumentation et contrôle-commande importants pour la sûreté - Méthodes de surveillance de l'état des matériels électriques - Partie 6: Résistance d'isolement
l'IEC/IEEE 62582-6:2019 contient les méthodes de surveillance de l'état des matériaux organiques et polymères utilisés dans les câbles d'instrumentation et de contrôle‑commande, sur la base de mesures de la résistance d'isolement et de façon suffisamment détaillée pour obtenir des résultats précis et reproductibles en conditions accidentelles simulées. Elle comprend les exigences pour le système de mesure et la procédure de mesure, ainsi que les rapports des résultats de mesure.
NOTE La mesure de la résistance d'isolement en conditions accidentelles simulées dans le but de déterminer la valeur la plus faible durant l'accident pour évaluer les performances des câbles, implique le respect des exigences particulières définies dans le présent document. Les méthodes de mesure en conditions normales (non accidentelles) sont disponibles dans d'autres Normes internationales, par exemple dans l'IEC 62631-3-3.
Les différentes parties de la série IEC/IEEE 62582 sont des normes de mesure, principalement destinées à être utilisées pour la gestion du vieillissement dans le cadre de la qualification initiale et après installation. L'IEC/IEEE 62582-1 fournit les exigences applicables à toutes les autres parties de la série IEC/IEEE 62582 et certains éléments communs à l'ensemble des méthodes. L'IEC/IEEE 60780-323 fournit des informations concernant le rôle de la surveillance de l'état dans la qualification des matériels importants pour la sûreté.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation.
IEEE Standards documents are developed within IEEE Societies and Standards Coordinating Committees of the
IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board. IEEE develops its standards through a consensus
development process, which brings together volunteers representing varied viewpoints and interests to achieve
the final product. Volunteers are not necessarily members of IEEE and serve without compensation. While IEEE
administers the process and establishes rules to promote fairness in the consensus development process, IEEE
does not independently evaluate, test, or verify the accuracy of any of the information contained in its standards.
Use of IEEE Standards documents is wholly voluntary. IEEE documents are made available for use subject to
important notices and legal disclaimers (see http://standards.ieee.org/IPR/disclaimers.html for more
information).
IEC collaborates closely with IEEE in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
2) The formal decisions of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of
opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all interested IEC
National Committees. The formal decisions of IEEE on technical matters, once consensus within IEEE Societies
and Standards Coordinating Committees has been reached, is determined by a balanced ballot of materially
interested parties who indicate interest in reviewing the proposed standard. Final approval of the IEEE
standards document is given by the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board.
3) IEC/IEEE Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC
National Committees/IEEE Societies in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the
technical content of IEC/IEEE Publications is accurate, IEC or IEEE cannot be held responsible for the way in
which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
(including IEC/IEEE Publications) transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional
publications. Any divergence between any IEC/IEEE Publication and the corresponding national or regional
publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC and IEEE do not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC and IEEE are not responsible
for any services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or IEEE or their directors, employees, serva
