IEC 61987-1:2024 is available as IEC 61987-1:2024 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 61987-1:2024 defines a generic structure in which product features of industrial process measurement devices shall be arranged, in order to facilitate the understanding of product descriptions when they are transferred from one party to another. It applies to the production of catalogues supplied by the manufacturer of such devices and helps the user to formulate their requirements. This document will also serve as a reference document for all future standards which are concerned with process measuring equipment. In addition, this document also provides a basic structure for the production of further standards listing the properties of process control equipment, for example, for actuators and infrastructure devices. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) Addition of a subclause “Digital communication” in Clause 5, in order to allow a more comprehensive description of the properties of such an interface; b) Alignment of clause headings, as described in the introduction, to correspond with those of the IEC CDD.

IEC 60068-2-87:2024 describes exposures of materials and components to UV-C radiation during ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) treatments or other processes that require UV‑C exposure and test procedures to simulate those environments. Severities representing various frequencies and intensities of UV-C exposures are described. Test conditions are described and limited to devices that utilize low pressure mercury lamps which emit most of their radiation at a single spectral line at 254 nm.

IEC 61784-3-19:2024 specifies a safety communication layer (services and protocol) based on IEC 61784‑1-19, IEC 61784-2-19 and the IEC 61158 series (Type 24 and Type 27). It identifies the principles for functional safety communications defined in IEC 61784‑3 that are relevant for this safety communication layer. This safety communication layer is intended for implementation in safety devices only. NOTE 1 It does not cover electrical safety and intrinsic safety aspects. Electrical safety relates to hazards such as electrical shock. Intrinsic safety relates to hazards associated with potentially explosive atmospheres. This document defines mechanisms for the transmission of safety-relevant messages among participants within a distributed network using fieldbus technology in accordance with the requirements of the IEC 61508 series for functional safety. These mechanisms can be used in various industrial applications such as process control, manufacturing automation and machinery. This document provides guidelines for both developers and assessors of compliant devices and systems. NOTE 2 The resulting SIL claim of a system depends on the implementation of the selected functional safety communication profile within this system – implementation of a functional safety communication profile according to this document in a standard device is not sufficient to qualify it as a safety device.

IEC 61439-3:2024 defines the specific requirements for distribution boards intended to be operated by ordinary persons (abbreviated DBO throughout this document, see 3.1.101) as follows: - assemblies intended to be operated by ordinary persons (e.g. switching operations and replacing fuse-links), e.g. in domestic (household) applications; - assemblies containing outgoing circuits with protective devices intended to be operated by ordinary persons, complying e.g. with IEC 60898-1, the IEC 61008 series, the IEC 61009 series, IEC 62606, IEC 62423 and IEC 60269-3; - assemblies for applications where the nominal voltage to earth does not exceed 300 V AC (see Table G.1 of IEC 61439-1:2020); NOTE The voltage limits for DC applications are under consideration. - assemblies with a rated current (Inc) of the outgoing circuits not exceeding 125 A and a rated current (InA) not exceeding 250 A; - assemblies intended for use in connection with the generation, transmission, distribution and conversion of electrical energy, and for the control of equipment consuming electrical energy and for associated data processing; - enclosed, stationary assemblies; - assemblies for indoor or outdoor use.

This document proposes a method to achieve circular designs of products. It details principles, requirements and guidance associated with the proposed method. This document: • specifies requirements and guidance for integrating circularity into the design and development process of products by an organization and, • supports organizations to develop product design rules to fulfil their chosen circular business targets (e.g. the circular business models chosen by the organization or the legislation requirements). Having life cycle thinking as a core principle, this document provides guidance on how to reduce environmental impacts, and how to deal with challenges such as trade-offs during circular product design, without compromising other product functions including safety. This document focusses on material efficiency. It is not a management system standard. This document can be applied when no product-specific or product group standard exist. Where such documents are developed, this document can be used as reference to ensure consistency and harmonization across the different product areas and supply chains or networks. NOTE For the purpose of this document, the following products are excluded: food, feed, medicinal products for human use, veterinary medicinal products, living plants, animals and microorganisms, products of human origin, products of plants and animals relating directly to their future reproduction.

IEC 60512-28-100:2024 specifies the test methods for signal integrity and transmission performance for connectors specified in respective parts of IEC 60603-7, IEC61076-1, IEC 61076-2, IEC 61076-3 and IEC 63171 series of standards for connecting hardware applications from 0,1 MHz up to 2 000 MHz, with reference to this document. Note: This document is also suitable for testing signal integrity and transmission performance of connectors up to a lower value of maximum frequency; however, the test methodology specified in the detail specification for any given connector remains the reference conformance test for that connector. The list of connector series of standards does not preclude referencing this document in other connector manufacturer’s specifications or published standards. Test procedures provided herein are: - insertion loss, test 28a; - return loss, test 28b; - near-end crosstalk (NEXT) test 28c; - far-end crosstalk (FEXT), test 28d; - transverse conversion loss (TCL), test 28f; - transverse conversion transfer loss (TCTL), test 28g.

IEC 62770:2024 describes specifications and test methods for unused natural esters in transformers and similar liquid-immersed electrical equipment in which a liquid is required as an insulating and heat transfer medium. The exposure of natural ester to air leads to deterioration of the insulating liquid. Use of natural esters is therefore restricted to sealed units, or with the conservator tank protected from the contact with atmosphere by a membrane or other suitable system.
