Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 8528-13:2016(E)
Reciprocating internal combustion engine driven
alternating current generating sets —
Part 13:
Safety
1 Scope
This part of ISO 8528 specifies the safety requirements for reciprocating internal combustion (RIC)
engine driven generating sets up to 1 000 V consisting of an RIC engine, an alternating current (AC)
generator including the additional equipment required for operating, e.g. controlgear, switchgear,
auxiliary equipment.
It is applicable to generating sets for land and marine use (domestic, recreational and industrial
application). It is not applicable to generating sets used on board of seagoing vessels and mobile offshore
units as well as on aircraft or to propel road vehicles and locomotives.
NOTE This part of ISO 8528 does not apply to arc welding equipment (IEC 60974 series).
The special requirements needed to cover operation in potentially explosive atmospheres are not
covered in this part of ISO 8528.
The hazards relevant to RIC engine driven generating sets are identified in Annex A.
This part of ISO 8528 deals with the special requirements of test and safety design which should be
observed in addition to the definitions and requirements in ISO 8528-1, ISO 8528-2, ISO 8528-3,
ISO 8528-4, ISO 8528-5 and ISO 8528-6, where applicable. It specifies safety requirements in order to
protect the user from danger.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 8528-13

Reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating
current generating sets — Part 13: Safety
1 Scope
This part of ISO 8528 specifies the safety requirements for reciprocating internal combustion (RIC) engine
driven generating sets up to 1000 V consisting of a RIC engine, an alternating current (a.c.) generator
including the additional equipment required for operating, e.g. controlgear, switchgear, auxiliary equipment.
It applies to generating sets for land and marine use (domestic, recreational and industrial application),
excluding generating sets used on board of seagoing vessels and mobile offshore units as well as on aircraft
or to propel road vehicles and locomotives.
NOTE This standard does not apply to arc welding equipment (IEC 60974 Series).
The special requirements needed to cover operation in potentially explosive atmospheres are not covered in
this standard.
The hazards relevant to RIC engine driven generating sets are identified in Annex A.
This part of ISO 8528 deals with the special requirements of test and safety design which should be
observed in addition to the definitions and requirements laid down in ISO 8528 parts 1 to 6, where
applicable. It lays down safety requirements in order to protect the user from danger.
