IEC TR 63486:2024 provides a cybersecurity framework for digital I&C programmable systems [2]. IEC 62645 [1] aligns strongly with the information security management system (ISMS) elements detailed within ISO/IEC 27001:2013 [2]. The ISO/IEC ISMS structure corresponds to the “I&C digital programmable system cybersecurity program” in the context (as defined in 5.2.1 of IEC 62645:2019 [1]).
The scope of this document is to capture the national and international cyber-risk approaches employed to manage cybersecurity risks associated with Instrumentation and Control (I&C) and Electrical Power Systems (EPS) at a Nuclear Power Plant (NPP).
This document summarizes an evaluation of cyber-risk approaches that are in use by nuclear facility operators to manage cybersecurity risks.
The scope of this document generally follows the exclusions of IEC 62645 which are:
- Non-malevolent actions and events such as accidental failures, human errors (except those stated above, such as impacting the performance of cybersecurity controls), and natural events. In particular, good practices for managing applications and data, including backup and restoration related to accidental failure, are out of scope.
This document summarizes key insights of the international and cyber-risk approaches used at NPPs regarding the application of ISO/IEC 27005:2018 [5]. The evaluation is based on 11 challenges to cybersecurity risk management and their applicability to NPP risk management. The challenges are detailed in Clause 7. This document also relates the risk management elements of IEC 62645 and IEC 63096.

This document gives general technical guidelines for evaluating energy savings of thermal power plants before and/or after implementing energy performance improvement action(s) (EPIAs). It includes evaluation, unit component efficiency, indexes calculation, analyses and reporting. This document is applicable to existing thermal power generating units (TPGUs), where fossil fuels (e.g. coal, oil, natural gas) are combusted to generate electricity only or to supply thermal energy with the additional production of electricity (i.e. combined cycle power plants). NOTE A typical thermal power plant encompasses at least one TPGU. If there is more than one, the TPGUs can run independently. Results obtained in accordance with this document can be used either to evaluate the potential of energy savings or to determine fulfilment of contract guarantees. They do not provide a basis for comparison of the energy savings between TPGUs. This document does not prescribe performance tests or measurements for TPGU equipment components/systems, the sampling and analysis of the fuels used, substances added for control of emissions (e.g. halide, limestone) and by-products (e.g. ash, gypsum), and instruments to be employed, but it does specify parameters of interest in the determination of energy savings. Applicable procedures can be found in relevant documents (published or to be published).

This Part of this European Standard specifies a concise procedure for conducting thermal performance tests, using the indirect (losses) procedure for boilers for steam or hot water. Test results are based on either the gross or net calorific value of the fuel.
This concise procedure provides a convenient means for assessing boilers which thermodynamically simple, i.e. having a single major source of heat input and a simple circuit for water, steam or high temperature heat transfer fluid.
NOTE 1   The use of the direct method is not advocated, because the estimated measuring error is three to four times greater than with the indirect method.
NOTE 2   An acceptance test may be required:
a) after the commissioning of new plant or after the recommissioning of modified plant in order to verify compliance with a specification or contractual obligation;
b) whenever the user wishes to determine the current performance of the plant either on a route basis or due to change of load or other operating conditions or when a change of fuel or a modification to the plant is being considered;
c) whenever the user wishes to check combustion conditions.
Regular tests in accordance with this European Standard will enable boiler plant to be monitored in normal operation for opti-mum efficiency in the interests of fuel conservation.
This procedure does not cover condensing boilers. The application of boilers, where heat is extracted from waste gases is specified in annex B.

The equipment covered by this Guide is defined by its function rather than design type.  Therefore, the guidance to the specification is stated in performance terms rather than being specified by a detailed description of the equipment to be supplied.
This Guide indicates to potential purchasers how their specification should be prepared so that:
- the equipment type and capacity interfaces correctly with other elements of the systems;
- predicted performance is achieved;
- ancillary equipment is properly sized;
- reliability, availability and safety requirements are achieved;
- proper consideration is given to the evaluation process and the quality measures to be applied.
This Guide does not determine the type of specification (e.g. detailed, performance, functional) or the extent of supply for any given contract which is normally decided on the basis of the purchaser’s project strategy. It does not cover:
- any commercial, contractual or legal issues which are normally in separate parts of an  enquiry;
- any allocation of responsibilities which are determined by the contract.
This Guide does not prescribe the arrangement of the documents in the enquiry.
NOTE: As a comprehensive European environmental policy is still under preparation, this  Guide does not address the environmental implications of the equipment.
