Nuclear power plants - Instrumentation and control important to safety - General requirement for systems
I&C systems important to safety may be implemented using conventional hard-wired equipment, computer-based (CB) equipment or by using a combination of both types of equipment (see Note 1). This International Standard provides requirements and recommendations (see Note 2) for the overall I&C architecture which may contain either or both technologies. This standard highlights also the need for complete and precise requirements, derived from the plant safety goals, as a pre-requisite for generating the comprehensive requirements for the overall I&C architecture, and hence for the individual I&C systems important to safety. This standard introduces the concept of a safety life cycle for the overall I&C architecture, and
a safety life cycle for the individual systems. By this, it highlights the relations between the safety objectives of the NPP and the requirements for the overall architecture of the I&C systems important to safety, and the relations between the overall I&C architecture and the requirements of the individual systems important to safety. The life cycles illustrated in, and followed by, this standard are not the only ones possible; other life cycles may be followed, provided that the objectives stated in this standard are satisfied.
NOTE 1 I&C systems may also use electronic modules based on complex electronic components such as ASICs or FPGA. Depending on the scope and functionality of these components, they may be treated according to the guidance for conventional electronic equipment, or similar to CB equipment. A significant part of the guidance for CB equipment is also applicable to the design of equipment with complex electronic components, including e.g. the concepts of re-using pre-existing designs, and the evaluation of design errors in software or complex hardware designs.
NOTE 2 In the following, “requirement” is used as a comprehensive term for both requirements and recommendations. The distinction appears at the level of the specific provisions where requirements are expressed by “shall” and recommendations by “should”.
Kernkraftwerke - Leittechnik für Systeme mit sicherheitstechnischer Bedeutung - Allgemeine Systemanforderungen
Centrales nucléaires de puissance - Instrumentation et contrôle commande importants pour la sûreté - Exigences générales pour les systèmes
Les systèmes d'I&C importants pour la sûreté peuvent être réalisés à l'aide de composants traditionnels câblés, de composants informatiques ou d'une combinaison des deux. La CEI 61513:2011 fait état des exigences et des recommandations relatives à l'architecture d'ensemble de l'I&C incluant l'une ou l'autre de ces technologies ou les deux. Les principaux changements techniques par rapport à l'édition précédente sont les suivants: - mise en cohérence avec les nouvelles éditions des documents de l'AIEA; - prise en compte des dernières éditions des normes CEI 60880, CEI 61226, CEI 62138, CEI 62340 et CEI 60987; - prise en compte de progrès significatifs des techniques de génie logiciel; - intégration des exigences relatives à la formation du personnel.
Jedrske elektrarne - Instrumenti in krmilje, pomembni za varnost - Splošne zahteve za sisteme
Merilna in nadzorna oprema za zagotavljanje varnosti se lahko načrtuje z uporabo konvencionalne fiksno pritrjene opreme, računalniške opreme (CB) ali kombinacije obeh vrst opreme (glej opombo 1). Ta mednarodni standard zagotavlja zahteve in priporočila (glej opombo 2) za celotno arhitekturo merilne in nadzorne opreme, ki lahko vključuje eno ali obe tehnologiji. Ta standard poudarja tudi potrebo po celovitih in natančnih zahtevah, izpeljanih iz varnostnih ciljev elektrarne, kot predpogoj za določitev celovitih zahtev za celotno arhitekturo merilne in nadzorne opreme in tako tudi posameznih delov merilne in nadzorne opreme za zagotavljanje varnosti. Ta standard vpeljuje koncept življenjskega cikla glede varnosti za celotno arhitekturo merilne in nadzorne opreme ter življenjski cikel glede varnosti za njene posamezne dele. Tako poudari razmerja med varnostnimi cilji jedrske elektrarne in zahtevami za celotno arhitekturo merilne in nadzorne opreme za zagotavljanje varnosti ter razmerja med celotno arhitekturo merilne in nadzorne opreme in zahtevami njenih posameznih delov za zagotavljanje varnosti. Življenjski cikli, predstavljeni in upoštevani v tem standardu, niso edini možni; drugi življenjski cikli so možni, če so izpolnjeni cilji, navedeni v tem standardu.
OPOMBA 1: Merilna in nadzorna oprema lahko uporablja tudi elektronske module, ki temeljijo na kompleksnih elektronskih komponentah, kot so integrirana vezja za določen namen (ASIC) in programirljivo polje vrat (FPGA). Glede na področje uporabe in delovanje teh komponent jih je mogoče obravnavati v skladu s smernicami za konvencionalno elektronsko opremo ali podobno kot računalniško opremo. Večina smernic za računalniško opremo se uporablja tudi za načrtovanje opreme s kompleksnimi elektronskimi komponentami, vključno npr. s koncepti ponovne uporabe predhodnih načrtov, in za ugotavljanje napak v načrtovanju programske ali kompleksne strojne opreme.
OPOMBA 2: Izraz »zahteva« je uporabljen kot skupen izraz za oboje – zahteve in priporočila. Do razlikovanja pride pri specifičnih določilih, kjer so zahteve izražene s strukturo »je treba«, priporočila pa z »naj bi«.

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 61513 has been prepared by subcommittee 45A: Instrumentation
and control of nuclear facilities, of IEC technical committee 45: Nuclear instrumentation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition, published in 2001, and constitutes
a technical revision.
The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
• to align the standard with the new revisions of IAEA NS-R-1 and NS-G-1.3, to review the
existing requirements and to update the terminology and definitions;
• to take account of, as far as possible, requirements associated with standards published
since the first edition, especially IEC 60880, IEC 61226, IEC 62138, IEC 62340 and
IEC 60987;
• to take into account the fact that software engineering techniques have advanced
significantly in the intervening years;

FDIS Report on voting
45A/838/FDIS 45A/848/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report on
voting indicated in the above table.
This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be

INTRODUCTION
a) Technical background, main issues and organisation of the standard
This International Standard sets out requirements applicable to instrumentation and control
systems and equipment (I&C systems) that are used to perform functions important to safety
in nuclear power plants (NPPs).
This standard highlights the relations between
• the safety objectives of the NPP and the requirements for the overall architecture of the
I&C systems important to safety;
• the overall architecture of the I&C systems and the requirements of the individual systems
important to safety.
It is intended that the standard be used by designers, operators of NPPs (utilities), systems
evaluators and by licensors.
b) Situation of the current standard in the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series
IEC 61513 is the first level IEC SC 45A document tackling the issue of general requirements
for systems. It is the entry point of the IEC SC 45A standard series.
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 standard establishes no additional functional requirements for
safety systems.
To ensure that the 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
categorisation 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 direct
