Nuclear power plants - Instrumentation, control and electrical power systems important to safety - Separation (IEC 60709:2018)
This document is applicable to nuclear power plant instrumentation and control (I&C) and
electrical systems and equipment, whose functions are required to be independent due to
their contribution to:
• a redundant or diverse safety group;
• different defence in depth levels;
• different safety classes and also with non-classified (NC) systems.
It is also applicable to temporary installations which are part of those I&C and electrical
systems important to safety (for example, auxiliary equipment for commissioning tests and
experiments or mobile power supply systems). Clause 7 is intended particularly for electrical
isolation, Clause 8 is intended particularly for the cabling and the arrangement of equipment
of I&C and electrical systems important to safety.
This document applies to I&C and electrical systems of new nuclear power plants and to I&C
and electrical upgrading or back-fitting of existing plants. For existing plants see 1.2 and 5.4.
Where independence is required by general safety standards such as IAEA safety guides,
IEC 61513 (for I&C), IEC 63046 (for electrical systems) and other project constraints, one
aspect of achieving this independence is physical separation and electrical isolation between
the systems and their equipment that perform safety functions. This document defines the
assessments needed and the technical requirements to be met for I&C and electrical systems,
equipment or cables for which separation is required. Those means are to achieve adequate
physical separation and electrical isolation between redundant sections of a system and
between a higher and lower class systems. This separation is needed to prevent or minimise
the impact on safety that could result from faults and failures which could be propagated or
affect several sections of a system or several systems.
The requirements for functions, and their associated systems and equipment, to be
independent are normally defined in detail in the project documentation; the method of
determining and defining these requirements is not the subject of this document.
Following IAEA SSR-2/1 Requirement 21, separation means by physical separation, electrical
isolation, functional independence and independence of communication are considered. In
this document physical separation and electrical isolation are treated. Functional
independence and independence of communication are not considered in this document.
More details referring to functional independence, independence from control systems and
independence of communication are given in Annex D.

Centrales nucléaires de puissance - Systèmes d'instrumentation, de contrôle-commande et d'alimentation électrique importants pour la sûreté - Séparation (IEC 60709:2018)
L'IEC 60709:2018 est applicable aux systèmes d’instrumentation et de contrôle-commande (I&C) des centrales nucléaires de puissance ainsi qu’aux systèmes et équipements électriques, dont il est exigé que les fonctions soient indépendantes en raison de leur contribution à:
- un groupe de sûreté redondant ou varié;
- différents niveaux de défense en profondeur;
- différentes classes de sûreté et avec les systèmes non classés (NC).
Cette norme est aussi applicable aux installations temporaires qui font partie de ces systèmes d’I&C et électriques importants pour la sûreté (par exemple, les équipements auxiliaires pour les essais de mise en service et l’expérimentation ou pour les systèmes mobiles d’alimentation électrique).
Cette nouvelle édition inclut les modifications techniques majeures suivantes par rapport à l'édition précédente:
- intégration d’exigences relatives au principe de séparation dans les systèmes électriques importants pour la sûreté;
- définition de critères de séparation pour les systèmes d’I&C et électriques de manière générale;
- mise en cohérence de la norme avec les nouvelles révisions des documents de l’AIEA et extension du domaine d’application pour inclure de nouveaux aspects de separation.
Jedrske elektrarne - Merilna, nadzorna in elektroenergetska oprema za zagotavljanje varnosti - Ločevanje (IEC 60709:2018)
Ta dokument se uporablja za merilno, nadzorno in elektroenergetsko opremo ter sisteme v jedrskih elektrarnah, katerih funkcije morajo biti neodvisne zaradi prispevka k:
• redundantni ali raznoliki varnostni skupini;
• različni zaščiti v globinskih nivojih;
• različnim varnostnim razredom in tudi nerazvrščenim (NC) sistemom.
Uporablja se tudi za začasne inštalacije, ki so del merilnih, nadzornih in elektroenergetskih sistemov, pomembnih za varnost (na primer pomožna oprema za zagonske preskuse in poskuse ali mobilni napajalni sistemi). Točka 7 je namenjena predvsem za električno izolacijo, točka 8 pa kabliranju in razporeditvi merilnih, nadzornih in elektroenergetskih sistemov, pomembnih za varnost.
Ta dokument se uporablja za merilne, nadzorne in elektroenergetske sisteme novih jedrskih elektrarn ter za te sisteme v obstoječih elektrarnah, ki jih je treba nadgraditi ali vgraditi. Za obstoječe elektrarne glej 1.2 in 5.4.
Če neodvisnost zahtevajo splošni varnostni standardi, kot so varnostni priročniki IAEA, IEC 61513 (za merilne in nadzorne sisteme), IEC 63046 (za elektroenergetske sisteme) ter druge omejitve projekta, je mogoče to neodvisnost doseči s fizično ločitvijo in električno izolacijo sistemov ter njihove opreme, ki opravljajo varnostne funkcije. Ta dokument opredeljuje potrebne ocene in tehnične zahteve, ki jih je treba izpolnjevati za merilne, nadzorne in elektroenergetske sisteme, opremo ali kable, ki jih je treba ločiti. Na ta način se ustrezno fizično loči in električno izolira redundantne razdelke sistema ter sisteme višjega in nižjega razreda. Ločevanje je potrebno za preprečitev ali zmanjšanje negativnega vpliva na varnost pri napakah in okvarah, ki bi se lahko razširile ali vplivale na več delov sistema ali več sistemov.
Zahteve za neodvisnost funkcij in z njimi povezanih sistemov ter opreme so običajno podrobno opredeljene v projektni dokumentaciji; metoda določanja in opredelitve teh zahtev ni predmet tega dokumenta.
V skladu z zahtevo 21 IAEA SSR-2/1 so sredstva ločevanja fizična ločitev, električna izolacija, funkcionalna neodvisnost in neodvisnost komunikacije. V tem dokumentu se obravnava fizična ločitev in električna izolacija. Funkcionalna neodvisnost in neodvisnost komunikacije v tem dokumentu nista upoštevani. Podrobnosti o funkcionalni neodvisnosti, neodvisnosti od nadzornih sistemov in neodvisnosti komunikacije so v dodatku D.

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. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements 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.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC 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
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is 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 its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 60709 has been prepared by subcommittee 45A: Instrumentation,
control and electrical power systems of nuclear facilities, of IEC technical committee 45:
Nuclear instrumentation.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2004. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous
edition:
a) include requirements referring to the separation principle in electrical systems important to
safety;
b) define separation criteria for I&C and electrical systems in a generic way;
c) restructure the standard following the criteria;
d) consider interferences between I&C and electrical equipment from different safety
classes;
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST EN IEC 60709:2019
– 6 – IEC 60709:2018 IEC 2018
e) align with the new revisions of IAEA documents and broaden the scope to include other
aspects of separation;
f) cover new technologies that either present unique separation issues or provide new
means of achieving separation;
g) enhance requirements and guidance for areas of cable congestion, e.g. control room,
cable spreading galleries, etc;
h) introduce the concept of “associated circuits” (from US practice) to deal with equipment
not important to safety and cables that are not separated from safety equipment and
cables;
i) address the implications of low energy circuits, such as the possible use of analysis to
reduce the minimum separation distance;
j) review existing requirements, update terminology and definitions;
k) provide guidance for the application of the standard to existing plants.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:

INTRODUCTION
a) Background, main issues and organization of the standard
I&C and electrical systems important to safety in nuclear power plants need to tolerate the
effects of plant / equipment faults as well as internal and external hazards. Various
techniques are available to increase the level of tolerability of I&C and electrical systems to
such effects, including the provision of independent systems, subsystems and equipment. For
claims to be made of independence b
