ISO/TC 208 - Thermal turbines for industrial application (steam turbines, gas expansion turbines)

ISO/TC 208 is a Technical Committee within the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). It is named "Thermal turbines for industrial application (steam turbines, gas expansion turbines)" and is responsible for: Standardization in the field of steam and gas expansion turbines for industrial application. Standards to be elaborated should specify the basis requirements for the turbine and the associated lubrication, control, instrumentation and other auxiliary systems. Standards to be developed should be intended to facilitate the procurement and manufacture of turbines for industrial application and ensure compatibility with the driven equipment and any associated energy transfer equipment or other systems. This committee has published 2 standards.

ISO/TC 208 develops ISO standards. The scope of work includes: Standardization in the field of steam and gas expansion turbines for industrial application. Standards to be elaborated should specify the basis requirements for the turbine and the associated lubrication, control, instrumentation and other auxiliary systems. Standards to be developed should be intended to facilitate the procurement and manufacture of turbines for industrial application and ensure compatibility with the driven equipment and any associated energy transfer equipment or other systems. Currently, there are 2 published standards from this technical committee.

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an independent, non-governmental international organization that develops and publishes international standards. Founded in 1947 and headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, ISO brings together experts from 170+ member countries to share knowledge and develop voluntary, consensus-based standards that support innovation and provide solutions to global challenges.

A Technical Committee (TC) in ISO is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
