Nuclear power plants - Instrumentation and control important to safety - Electrical equipment condition monitoring methods - Part 6: Insulation resistance (IEC/IEEE 62582-6:2019)
This part of IEC/IEEE 62582 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.

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, servants or agents including individual
experts and members of technical committees and IEC National Committees, or volunteers of IEEE Societies
and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board,
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/IEEE Publication or any other IEC or IEEE 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 implementation of this IEC/IEEE Publication may require use of
material covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the
existence or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. IEC or IEEE shall not be held responsible for
identifying Essential Patent Claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal
validity or scope of Patent Claims or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in
connection with submission of a Letter of Assurance, if any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or
non-discriminatory. Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent
rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own responsibility.

INTRODUCTION
a) Technical background, main issues and organisation of the Standard
This IEC/IEEE standard specifically focuses on insulation resistance measurement methods
for monitoring of the dielectric condition of instrumentation and control cables during
simulation of design basis events.
This IEC/IEEE standard is the sixth part of the IEC/IEEE 62582-series. It contains detailed
descriptions of condition monitoring based on insulation resistance measurements.
The IEC/IEEE 62582-series of standards is issued with a joint logo which makes it applicable
to management of ageing of electrical equipment qualified to IEEE as well as IEC Standards.
For aged cables and accessories, the dielectric behaviour during simulated accident
conditions generally indicates the condition of the cable during the simulated accident
condition.
Significant research has been performed on condition monitoring techniques and the use of
these techniques in equipment qualification as noted in NUREG/CR-6704, vol.2
(BNL-NUREG-52610) and JNES-SS-0903, 2009.
It is intended that this Standard be used by test laboratories, operators of nuclear power
plants, systems evaluators and licensors.
b) Situation of the current Standard in the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series
IEC/IEEE 62582-6 is the third level IEC SC 45A document tackling the specific issue of
application and performance of insulation resistance measurements during simulated accident
conditions in nuclear power plants.
IEC/IEEE 62582-6 is to be read in association with IEC/IEEE 62582-1. IEC/IEEE 62582-1
provides requirements for application of methods for condition monitoring of electrical
equipment important to safety of nuclear power plants.
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 the Standard
It is important to note that this Standard establishes no additional functional requirements for
safety systems.
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 documents of the IEC SC 45A standard series are IEC 61513 and IEC 63046.
IEC 61513 provides general requirements for I&C systems and equipment that are used to
perform functions important to safety in NPPs. IEC 63046 provides general requirements for
electrical power systems of NPPs; it covers power supply systems including the supply
systems of the I&C systems. IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 are to be considered in conjunction
and at the same level. IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 structure the IEC SC 45A standard series
and shape a complete framework establishing general requirements for instrumentation,
control and electrical systems for nuclear power plants.
IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 refer directly to other IEC SC 45A standards for general topics
related to categorization of functions and classification of systems, qualification, separation,
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
SIST EN IEC/IEEE 62582-6:2021
IEC/IEEE 62582-6:2019 © IEC/IEEE 2019 – 7 –
defence against common cause failure, control room design, electromagnetic compatibility,
cybersecurity, software and hardware aspects for programmable digital systems, coordination
of safety and security requirements and management of ageing. The standards referenced
directly at this second level should be considered together with IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 as
a consistent document set.
At a third level, IEC SC 45A standards not directly referenced by IEC 61513 or by IEC 63046
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 45 standard series, corresponds to the Technical Reports
which are not normative.
The IEC SC 45A standards series consistently implements and details the safety and security
principles and basic aspects provided in the relevant IAEA safety standards and in the
relevant documents of the IAEA nuclear security series (NSS). In particular this includes the
IAEA requirements SSR-2/1, establishing safety requirements related to the design of nuclear
power plants (NPPs), the IAEA safety guide SSG-30 dealing with the safety classification of
structures, systems and components in NPPs, the IAEA safety guide SSG-39 dealing with the
design of instrumentation and control systems for NPPs, the IAEA safety guide SSG-34
dealing with the design of electrical power systems for NPPs and the implementing guide
NSS17 for computer security at nuclear facilities. The safety and security terminology and
definitions used by SC 45A standards are consistent with those used by the IAEA.
IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 have adopted a presentation format similar to the basic safety
publication IEC 61508 with an overall life-cycle framework and a system life-cycle framework.
Regarding nuclear safety, IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 provide the interpretation of the general
requirements of IEC 61508-1, IEC 61508-2 and IEC 61508-4, for the nuclear application
sector. In this framework IEC 60880, IEC 62138 and IEC 62566 correspond to IEC 61508-3
for the nuclear application sector. IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 refer to ISO as well as to IAEA
GS-R part 2 and IAEA GS-G-3.1 and IAEA GS-G-3.5 for topics related to quality assurance
(QA). At level 2, regarding nuclear security, IEC 62645 is the entry document for the
IEC/SC 45A security standards. It builds upon the valid high level principles and main
concepts of the generic security standards, in particular ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002; it
adapts them and completes them to fit the nuclear context and coordinates with the
IEC 62443 series. At level 2, IEC 60964 is the entry document for the IEC/SC 45A control
rooms standards and IEC 62342 is the entry document for the ageing management standards.
NOTE 1 It is assumed that for the design of I&C systems in NPPs that implement conventional safety functions
(e.g. to address worker safety, asset protection, chemical hazards, process energy hazards) international or
national standards would be applied.
NOTE 2 IEC/SC 45A domain was extended in 2013 to cover electrical systems. In 2014 and 2015 discussions
were held in IEC/SC 45A to decide how and where general requirements for the design of electrical systems were
to be considered. IEC/SC 45A experts recommended that an independent standard be developed at the same level
as IEC 61513 to establish general requirements for electrical systems. Project IEC 63046 is now launched to cover
this objective. When IEC 63046 is published, this NOTE 2 of the introduction of IEC/SC 45A standards will be
suppressed.

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, servants or agents including individual
experts and members of technical committees and IEC National Committees, or volunteers of IEEE Societies
and the Standards Coordinating Committees of the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) Standards Board,
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/IEEE Publication or any other IEC or IEEE 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 implementation of this IEC/IEEE Publication may require use of
material covered by patent rights. By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the
existence or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. IEC or IEEE shall not be held responsible for
identifying Essential Patent Claims for which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal
validity or scope of Patent Claims or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions provided in
connection with submission of a Letter of Assurance, if any, or in any licensing agreements are reasonable or
non-discriminatory. Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent
rights, and the risk of infringement of such rights, is entirely their own responsibility.

INTRODUCTION
a) Technical background, main issues and organisation of the Standard
This IEC/IEEE standard specifically focuses on insulation resistance measurement methods
for monitoring of the dielectric condition of instrumentation and control cables during
simulation of design basis events.
This IEC/IEEE standard is the sixth part of the IEC/IEEE 62582-series. It contains detailed
descriptions of condition monitoring based on insulation resistance measurements.
The IEC/IEEE 62582-series of standards is issued with a joint logo which makes it applicable
to management of ageing of electrical equipment qualified to IEEE as well as IEC Standards.
For aged cables and accessories, the dielectric behaviour during simulated accident
conditions generally indicates the condition of the cable during the simulated accident
condition.
Significant research has been performed on condition monitoring techniques and the use of
these techniques in equipment qualification as noted in NUREG/CR-6704, vol.2
(BNL-NUREG-52610) and JNES-SS-0903, 2009.
It is intended that this Standard be used by test laboratories, operators of nuclear power
plants, systems evaluators and licensors.
b) Situation of the current Standard in the structure of the IEC SC 45A standard series
IEC/IEEE 62582-6 is the third level IEC SC 45A document tackling the specific issue of
application and performance of insulation resistance measurements during simulated accident
conditions in nuclear power plants.
IEC/IEEE 62582-6 is to be read in association with IEC/IEEE 62582-1. IEC/IEEE 62582-1
provides requirements for application of methods for condition monitoring of electrical
equipment important to safety of nuclear power plants.
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 the Standard
It is important to note that this Standard establishes no additional functional requirements for
safety systems.
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 documents of the IEC SC 45A standard series are IEC 61513 and IEC 63046.
IEC 61513 provides general requirements for I&C systems and equipment that are used to
perform functions important to safety in NPPs. IEC 63046 provides general requirements for
electrical power systems of NPPs; it covers power supply systems including the supply
systems of the I&C systems. IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 are to be considered in conjunction
and at the same level. IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 structure the IEC SC 45A standard series
and shape a complete framework establishing general requirements for instrumentation,
control and electrical systems for nuclear power plants.
IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 refer directly to other IEC SC 45A standards for general topics
related to categorization of functions and classification of systems, qualification, separation,
---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
oSIST prEN IEC/IEEE 62582-6:2021
IEC/IEEE 62582-6:2019 © IEC/IEEE 2019 – 7 –
defence against common cause failure, control room design, electromagnetic compatibility,
cybersecurity, software and hardware aspects for programmable digital systems, coordination
of safety and security requirements and management of ageing. The standards referenced
directly at this second level should be considered together with IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 as
a consistent document set.
At a third level, IEC SC 45A standards not directly referenced by IEC 61513 or by IEC 63046
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 45 standard series, corresponds to the Technical Reports
which are not normative.
The IEC SC 45A standards series consistently implements and details the safety and security
principles and basic aspects provided in the relevant IAEA safety standards and in the
relevant documents of the IAEA nuclear security series (NSS). In particular this includes the
IAEA requirements SSR-2/1, establishing safety requirements related to the design of nuclear
power plants (NPPs), the IAEA safety guide SSG-30 dealing with the safety classification of
structures, systems and components in NPPs, the IAEA safety guide SSG-39 dealing with the
design of instrumentation and control systems for NPPs, the IAEA safety guide SSG-34
dealing with the design of electrical power systems for NPPs and the implementing guide
NSS17 for computer security at nuclear facilities. The safety and security terminology and
definitions used by SC 45A standards are consistent with those used by the IAEA.
IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 have adopted a presentation format similar to the basic safety
publication IEC 61508 with an overall life-cycle framework and a system life-cycle framework.
Regarding nuclear safety, IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 provide the interpretation of the general
requirements of IEC 61508-1, IEC 61508-2 and IEC 61508-4, for the nuclear application
sector. In this framework IEC 60880, IEC 62138 and IEC 62566 correspond to IEC 61508-3
for the nuclear application sector. IEC 61513 and IEC 63046 refer to ISO as well as to IAEA
GS-R part 2 and IAEA GS-G-3.1 and IAEA GS-G-3.5 for topics related to quality assurance
(QA). At level 2, regarding nuclear security, IEC 62645 is the entry document for the
IEC/SC 45A security standards. It builds upon the valid high level principles and main
concepts of the generic security standards, in particular ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002; it
adapts them and completes them to fit the nuclear context and coordinates with the
IEC 62443 series. At level 2, IEC 60964 is the entry document for the IEC/SC 45A control
rooms standards and IEC 62342 is the entry document for the ageing management standards.
NOTE 1 It is assumed that for the design of I&C systems in NPPs that implement conventional safety functions
(e.g. to address worker safety, asset protection, chemical hazards, process energy hazards) international or
national standards would be applied.
NOTE 2 IEC/SC 45A domain was extended in 2013 to cover electrical systems. In 2014 and 2015 discussions
were held in IEC/SC 45A to decide how and where general requirements for the design of electrical systems were
to be considered. IEC/SC 45A experts recommended that an independent standard be developed at the same level
as IEC 61513 to establish general requirements for electrical systems. Project IEC 63046 is now launched to cover
this objective. When IEC 63046 is published, this NOTE 2 of the introduction of IEC/SC 45A standards will be
suppressed.

Part 6: Insulation resistance
1 Scope
This part of IEC/IEEE 62582 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.
