Overview - EN 45510-1:1997 (CEN)

EN 45510-1:1997 is a CEN guide titled Guide for procurement of power station equipment - Part 1: Common clauses. The standard provides guidance on preparing the technical specification used when procuring equipment for electricity generating stations (power stations). It is explicitly not applicable to equipment for the nuclear reactor plant area of nuclear power stations, and the Guide does not consider other non‑power‑station applications of such equipment.

This Part 1 focuses on common clauses that should appear in procurement documents, helping purchasers and specifiers produce consistent, clear, and fit‑for‑purpose technical specifications for power station equipment.

Key Topics

EN 45510-1:1997 addresses core elements relevant to procurement specifications for power station equipment. While it is a guidance document rather than a specification of technical parameters, it typically covers:

• Structure of technical specifications and common contractual clauses for equipment procurement
• Definitions and scope to ensure clarity about intended use within electricity generating stations
• Requirements for documentation and submission of supplier information
• Clauses on compliance and conformity to applicable standards and purchaser requirements
• Exclusions and applicability, notably the exclusion of nuclear reactor plant area equipment

(As a guidance document, the standard frames these common clauses to be adapted to specific equipment types and project needs.)

Applications and Practical Use

Who uses EN 45510-1:1997 and how it adds practical value:

• Procurement engineers and contract managers - to draft consistent technical specifications and tender documents for power station equipment.
• Specifiers and consulting engineers - to ensure contract clauses reflect the intended operational context of electricity generating stations.
• Equipment manufacturers and suppliers - to understand purchaser expectations and prepare compliant offers and documentation.
• Project owners and utilities - to harmonize procurement practice across projects and suppliers.

Practical benefits include improved clarity in tenders, reduced ambiguity in supplier responses, and a standardized approach to common contractual and technical clauses specific to power station equipment procurement.

Related Standards

• EN 45510 series (other parts) - for additional parts addressing specific equipment or procurement aspects where available.
• National and international standards referenced in procurement clauses - adapt EN 45510-1 guidance to align with applicable IEC, ISO, or national technical standards.
