IEC TS 63060:2019(E) provides guidance to develop maintenance requirements of installations and equipment in electric power networks. It is primarily meant for the operators of electric power networks, particularly those of public power supplies, including High-Voltage DC transmission (HVDC). This scope does not include:
– railway networks,
– installations of end consumer networks,
– installations for electric power generation.
Crises handling, e.g. in emergency situations, is not within the scope of this document.

IEC TS 63049:2017(E) provides the minimum activities deemed necessary to implement an effective quality assurance program for the managing and reducing of risk in the installation and operation of photovoltaic (PV) systems. This document defines requirements for certifying that an entity has and uses a quality assurance program to prevent, or reduce errors and learns from any new errors in installation, operation and maintenance of a PV system. The object of this document is to provide more confidence in the performance and reliability of certified PV systems. By being installed and operated under a Quality Assurance program in accordance with this document, PV systems are expected to operate as designed and as expected based on product warranties.

IEC TS 63019:2019 provides a framework from which the availability metrics of a PVPS can be derived and reported. It describes how data are categorized and defines generic information categories to which time can be assigned for a PVPS considering internal and external conditions based on fraction of time, system health, and condition by specifying the following: - generic information categories of a PVPS considering availability and production. - information category priority to discriminate between concurrent categories. - entry and exit point for each information category to allocate designation of time. The PVPS comprises all photovoltaic (PV) modules, inverters, DC and AC collection systems, grid interconnection equipment, the site, its infrastructure, and all functional service elements. Formulas in this document provide normative guidance for standardization. Beyond that, it is not the intention of this document to specify exactly how other undefined, time-based availability metrics shall be calculated. The annexes are examples and guiding principles for developing methods for calculation and estimation of availability metrics, subject to the knowledge and concurrence for use by the involved stakeholders. Estimates and calculations also have recommendations on how they are to be used as part of the informative function.

IEC TS 63014-1:2018(E) is intended to provide an overall and consistent set of guidelines to facilitate the specification of equipment for the DC-side of a high-voltage direct current (HVDC) system using line-commutated converters. For point-to-point HVDC transmission systems, this document covers all DC-side equipment located between the converter valves and the DC overhead line or cable termination, excluding the converter valves themselves. For back-to-back HVDC systems, this document covers all DC-side equipment excluding the converter valves themselves.

IEC 62994:2019 specifies definitions of terms and introduces evaluation methods for EH&S risk assessment for the PV module over the product life cycle. Environmental health and safety (EH&S) risk assessment is a method to characterize and evaluate potential adverse impacts to human health or environment and make it possible to take measures to reduce them. EH&S risk assessment of PV modules is very important for the safe and sustainable manufacture, use, and end of life treatment of PV modules. The definition of terms can be applied to the EH&S risk assessment through the life cycle of PV modules. Generally, evaluation methods for the EH&S risk assessment can be divided in two cases: - ordinary foreseen routine operation, in which life cycle assessment method is applied; - abnormal non-routine operation, in which risk assessment method is applied

IEC TS 62989:2018(E) encompasses key characteristics of primary optical elements (lenses and mirrors) and lens or mirror parquets for concentrator photovoltaics including: optical performance, mechanical geometry, mechanical strength, materials, and surface morphology. The document identifies the essential characteristics, the corresponding quantities of interest, and provides a method for measurement of each quantity.

IEC TS 62972:2016 establishes terms and definitions specific for general lighting OLED light sources and related equipment.

IEC TS 62950:2017(E) sets out a reference framework for defining and testing smart capabilities and smart operating modes of appliances, small scale energy supplies (SSESs) and other devices (ODs) (collectively termed 'smart devices' if they have the defined capabilities). This document does not set minimum requirements for appliances, SSESs or ODs. This document focuses on electricity consumption but the principles and general architecture can be applied to other types of energy and other services. This document focuses on appliances, SSESs and ODs, but the principles and general architecture can also be applied to other products that are capable of being equipped with a device (energy) manager (DEM).

EC TS 62939-2:2018(E), which is a Technical Specification, provides an architecture to define interfaces for the information exchange between smart equipment/systems from the demand side and the power grid. It facilitates the interoperability between the IEC common information model (CIM) and customer facility standards for smart grid applications.
This document presents one possible architecture to connect non-CIM/IEC 61850-based demand-side standards to the CIM, to support demand response type applications.
It presents an immediately available architecture approach for home and building grid users for demand response applications to cope with the fragmented market and lack of harmonized standard solutions. It proposes that a three-layer application be implemented but this does not preclude the ongoing long-term efforts of IEC ideally to promote from a semantic perspective only two-layer implementations.
