- What is BS EN IEC 61500 - Nuclear power plants about? BS EN IEC 61500 establishes requirements for data communication which is used in systems performing category A functions in nuclear power plants. BS EN IEC 61500 also covers interface requirements for data communication of equipment performing category A functions with other systems including those performing category B and C functions and functions not important to safety. BS EN IEC 61500 is restricted to the consideration of data communication within the plant I&C safety systems. It does not cover communication by telephone, radio, voice, fax, email, public address, etc. Note: BS EN IEC 61500 does not prescribe how availability indicators shall be calculated. The standard does not specify the method of information acquisition, how to estimate the production terms or to form the basis for power curve performance measurements – which is the objective of IEC 61400-12 .
