Nuclear power plants - Instrumentation and control important to safety - Management of ageing of electrical cabling systems (IEC 62465:2010)
This International Standard provides strategies, technical requirements, and recommended
practices for the management of normal ageing of cabling systems that are important to
safety in nuclear power plants. The main requirements are presented in the body of this
International Standard followed by a number of informative annexes with examples of cable
testing techniques, procedures, and equipment that are available for the nuclear industry to
use to ensure that ageing degradation will not impact plant safety.
This International Standard covers cables and their accessories (e.g., connectors) installed in
nuclear power plants (inside and outside the containment). It provides requirements to
perform cable testing for the purposes of predictive maintenance, troubleshooting, ageing
management, and assurance of plant safety. It is concerned with Instrumentation and Control
(I&C) cables, signal cables, and power cables of voltages less than 1 kV. More specifically,
this International Standard focuses on in-situ testing techniques that have been established
for determining problems in cable conductors (i.e., copper wire) and, to a lesser extent, on
insulation material (i.e., polymer). It follows the IEC 62342 standard on “Management of
Ageing” that was prepared to provide general guidelines for management of ageing of I&C
components in nuclear power plants, including cables. It should be pointed out that cable
testing technologies are evolving and new methods are becoming available that are not
covered in this International Standard. More specifically, this International Standard covers
typical cable testing methods that have been in use in the nuclear power industry over the last
decade. It should also be pointed out that a single cable testing technique is unlikely to
provide conclusive results, and a reliable diagnosis normally requires a combination of
techniques.

Jedrske elektrarne - Merilna in nadzorna oprema za zagotavljanje varnosti - Upravljanje staranja električnih kablov (IEC 62465:2010)
Ta mednarodni standard vsebuje strategije, tehnične zahteve in priporočene prakse za upravljanje normalnega staranja kablov, ki so pomembni za varnost v jedrskih elektrarnah. Glavne zahteve so predstavljene v osnovnem besedilu tega mednarodnega standarda, sledijo pa mu številne informativne priloge s primeri tehnik, postopkov in opreme za preskušanje kablov, ki se uporabljajo v jedrski industriji, da se zagotovi, da staranje kablov ne vpliva na varnost elektrarne.
Ta mednarodni standard zajema kable in njihove dodatke (npr. konektorje), nameščene v jedrskih elektrarnah (znotraj in zunaj nadzora). Podaja zahteve za preskušanje kablov med predvidenim vzdrževanjem, odpravljanjem napak, upravljanjem staranja in zagotavljanjem varnosti elektrarne. Uporablja se za kable merilne in nadzorne opreme, signalne kable in napajalne kable z napetostjo manj kot 1 kV. Natančneje, ta mednarodni standard se osredotoča na tehnike preskušanja na mestu uporabe, s katerimi se prepoznava težave v kabelskih vodnikih (tj. bakrene žice) in v manjši meri na izolacijskem materialu (tj. polimeri). Sledi standardu IEC 62342 o »upravljanju staranja«, v katerem so podane splošne smernice za upravljanje staranja merilnih in nadzornih komponent v jedrskih elektrarnah, vključno s kabli. Poudariti je treba, da se tehnologije za preskušanje kablov razvijajo, tako da so na voljo tudi nove metode, ki niso zajete v tem mednarodnem standardu. Natančneje, ta mednarodni standard zajema tipične metode preskušanja kablov, ki so se uporabljale v jedrski industriji v zadnjem desetletju.
Pomembno je tudi poudariti, da ena sama tehnika preskušanja kablov verjetno ne more zagotoviti dokončnih rezultatov, ampak je za zanesljivo diagnozo običajno potrebna kombinacija več tehnik.

MANAGEMENT OF AGEING OF ELECTRICAL CABLING SYSTEMS
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.

INTRODUCTION
a) Technical background, main issues and organisation of the Standard
With the majority of nuclear power plants over 20 years old, the management of ageing of
instrumentation and associated electrical cabling systems is currently a relevant topic,
especially for those plants that have extended their operating licenses or are considering this
option. This International Standard is intended to be used by operators of nuclear power
plants (utilities), systems evaluators, and by licensors.
b) Situation of the current Standard in the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series
IEC 62465 is the third level IEC SC 45A document tackling the specific issue of management
of ageing of electrical cabling systems in nuclear power plants for Instrumentation and Control
(I&C) systems important to safety.
IEC 62342 is the second level chapeau standard of SC 45A covering the domain of the
management of ageing of nuclear instrumentation systems used in nuclear power plants to
perform functions important to safety. IEC 62342 is the introduction to a series of standards to
be developed by IEC SC 45A covering the management of ageing of specific I&C systems or
components such as electrical cabling systems (IEC 62465), sensors, and transmitters.
IEC 62465 is to be read in association with IEC 62342 and IEC 62096, which is the
appropriate IEC SC 45A Technical Report that provides guidance on the decision for
modernization when management of ageing techniques are no longer successful.
For more details on the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series, see item d) of this
introduction.
c) Recommendations and limitations regarding the application of this Standard
It is important to note that this International Standard establishes no additional functional
requirements for safety systems. Ageing mechanisms have to be prevented and thus detected
by performance measurements. Aspects for which special recommendations have been
provided in this International Standard are:
• criteria for evaluation of ageing of electrical cabling systems in nuclear power plants;
• steps to be followed to establish cable testing requirements for an ageing management
program for nuclear power plant electrical cabling systems; and
• relationship between on-going qualification analysis and ageing management programs
with regards to electrical cabling systems.
It is recognized that testing and monitoring techniques used to evaluate the ageing condition
of nuclear power plants’ electrical cabling systems are continuing to develop at a rapid pace
and that it is not possible for a standard such as IEC 62465 to include references to all
modern technologies and techniques. However, a number of techniques have been mentioned
within this International Standard and are described in Annexes B, C and D.
To ensure that this International Standard will continue to be relevant in future years, the
emphasis has been placed on issues of principle, rather than specific technologies.

d) Description of the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series and relationships
with other IEC documents and other bodies documents (IAEA, ISO)
The top-level document of the IEC SC 45A standard series is IEC 61513. It provides general
requirements for I&C systems and equipment that are used to perform functions important to
safety in NPPs. IEC 61513 structures the IEC SC 45A standard series.
IEC 61513 refers directly to other IEC SC 45A standards for general topics related to
categorization of functions and classification of systems, qualification, separation of systems,
defence against common cause failure, software aspects of computer-based systems,
hardware aspects of computer-based systems, and control room design. The standards
referenced directly at this second level should be considered together with IEC 61513 as a
consistent document set.
At a third level, IEC SC 45A standards not directly referenced by IEC 61513 are standards
related to specific equipment, technical methods, or specific activities. Usually these
documents, which make reference to second-level documents for general topics, can be used
on their own.
A fourth level extending the IEC SC 45A standard series, corresponds to the Technical
Reports which are not normative.
IEC 61513 has adopted a presentation format similar to the basic safety publication
IEC 61508 with an overall safety life-cycle framework and a system life-cycle framework and
provides an interpretation of the general requirements of IEC 61508-1, IEC 61508-2 and
IEC 61508-4, for the nuclear application sector. Compliance with IEC 61513 will facilitate
consistency with the requirements of IEC 61508 as they have been interpreted for the nuclear
industry. In this framework IEC 60880 and IEC 62138 correspond to IEC 61508-3 for the
nuclear application sector.
IEC 61513 refers to ISO as well as to IAEA 50-C-QA (now replaced by IAEA GS-R-3) for
topics related to quality assurance (QA).
The IEC SC 45A standards series consistently implements and details the principles and
basic safety aspects provided in the IAEA code on the safety of NPPs and in the IAEA safety
series, in particular the Requirements NS-R-1, establishing safety requirements related to the
design of Nuclear Power Plants, and the Safety Guide NS-G-1.3 dealing with instrumentation
and control systems important to safety in Nuclear Power Plants. The terminology and
definitions used by SC 45A standards are consistent with those used by the IAEA.
