IEEE 572:1985 (R2004)

New IEEE Standard - Superseded.
General requirements, direction, and methods for qualifying Class 1E connection assemblies for service in nuclear power generating stations are provided. Connectors, terminations, and environmental seals in combination with related cables or wires as assemblies are covered. Emphasis is placed on multipin, quick, disconnect-type connection assemblies primarily utilized for instrumentation, control, and power. This standard does not apply to containment electric penetrations, fire stops, in-line splices, or components for service within the reactor vessel.

This standard provides general requirements, direction, and methods for qualifying Class lE connection assemblies for service in nuclear power generating stations. These include connectors, terminations, and environmental seals in combination with related cables or wires as assemblies. This standard does not apply to containment electric penetrations, fire stops, in-line splices, or components for service within the re-actor vessel.
The purpose of this standard is to provide specific direction for the implementation of IEEE Std 323-1983 on qualification as it pertains to the qualification of connectors, terminations, and environmental seals (related to cables as assemblies). This standard augments the direction given by IEEE Std 383-1974 by providing requirements for the qualification of connection assemblies.
