International Participation

New Field of Technical Activity—Remanufacturing technology China (SAC the national standards body of China) has submitted a formal proposal to ISO for a new field of technical activity on remanufacturing technology. The scope of the proposal is the following: Standardization and coordination of remanufacturing technology, including remanufacturing terminology standards and generic technology standards for remanufacturing processes, such as dismantling, cleaning, inspection, coating preparation, forming processing and assembly. It is proposed that the new committee, if formed, will focus on developing standards on terminology, guides of technology, labelling for remanufacturing products, general technical requirements and general technical specification for remanufacturing products. It will also develop standards on dismantling, cleaning, inspection, coating preparation, machining and assembly for remanufacturing technology. Standards Australia will be consulting with stakeholders on this proposal. For more information or to make a submission please contact [email protected] by 16th September 2016.

August 2016


New Technical Committee proposed—management of assets in power systems The Japanese National Committee of IEC submitted a formal proposal to IEC to establish a new technical committee on the management of assets in power systems. The scope of the proposal is the following: Standardization in the field of the management of assets in power networks, especially aged equipment. Electricity networks in developed countries are facing a challenge for the first time of its history, managing large fleets of aging equipment. However, the network operators are left to determine by themselves how to manage the aged equipment, such as what/how to test, what measures can be taken for what types of equipment, etc. Developing countries also wrestle with trying to identify best practices on asset management. There is a wide range of IEC standards for electricity networks but most of them are used for designs and tests for new equipment. No IEC standard exists on asset management of power networks, especially for aged equipment. It is proposed that the new committee if formed will focus on developing standards on terminology; Inspection and diagnosis methods and evaluations for major equipment; measurement and reporting of fault and equipment failure data; methods for lifetime estimation and reporting for major equipment; life cycle cost calculation; risk evaluation methods; the calculation of health indices for major equipment; prioritization methods for asset management; and system performance indices. Standards Australia will be consulting with stakeholders on this proposal. For more information or to make a submission please contact [email protected] by 16th September 2016.

New Technical Committee proposed—management of assets in power systems The Japanese National Committee of IEC submitted a formal proposal to IEC to establish a new technical committee on the management of assets in power systems. The scope of the proposal is the following: Standardization in the field of the management of assets in power networks, especially aged equipment. Electricity networks in developed countries are facing a challenge for the first time of its history, managing large fleets of aging equipment. However, the network operators are left to determine by themselves how to manage the aged equipment, such as what/how to test, what measures can be taken for what types of equipment, etc. Developing countries also wrestle with trying to identify best practices on asset management. There is a wide range of IEC standards for electricity networks but most of them are used for designs and tests for new equipment. No IEC standard exists on asset management of power networks, especially for aged equipment. It is proposed that the new committee if formed will focus on developing standards on terminology; Inspection and diagnosis methods and evaluations for major equipment; measurement and reporting of fault and equipment failure data; methods for lifetime estimation and reporting for major equipment; life cycle cost calculation; risk evaluation methods; the calculation of health indices for major equipment; prioritization methods for asset management; and system performance indices. Standards Australia will be consulting with stakeholders on this proposal. For more information or to make a submission please contact [email protected] by 16th September 2016.
