BS EN IEC 60964:2019

Comprehensive Standard for Nuclear Power Plant Control Rooms

BS EN IEC 60964:2019 is the essential standard for the design of control rooms in nuclear power plants. This comprehensive specification outlines the requirements and guidelines for the layout, ergonomics, and functionality of control rooms - ensuring the safety, efficiency, and compliance of these mission-critical facilities.

Ensuring Safety and Reliability of Nuclear Power

The control room is the nerve center of a nuclear power plant, where operators monitor and control all aspects of the facility's operation. BS EN IEC 60964:2019 provides detailed criteria to optimize the design of these spaces, minimizing the risk of human error and safeguarding the integrity of nuclear power generation.

• Ergonomic layout and workstation design to support operator performance
• Clear visualization and accessibility of critical instrumentation and controls
• Robust communication systems and backup power to ensure operational resilience
• Comprehensive emergency response planning and procedures

Compliance for Critical Energy Infrastructure

As a harmonized European standard, BS EN IEC 60964:2019 ensures nuclear power plants meet the essential health, safety, and environmental requirements set forth by the European Union. Compliance with this standard is not only a legal obligation but also a crucial measure to protect workers, the public, and the environment.

• Alignment with the latest IEC 60964 international standard for nuclear power plant control rooms
• Conformance with the Euratom Basic Safety Standards Directive and other relevant EU regulations
• Comprehensive coverage of design, ergonomics, and operational considerations
• Recognized as a benchmark for best practices in nuclear power plant control room design

Optimizing Performance and Safety in Nuclear Power

BS EN IEC 60964:2019 is an indispensable resource for nuclear power plant operators, designers, and regulators. By adhering to this standard, organizations can ensure their control rooms are designed to the highest levels of safety, efficiency, and compliance - safeguarding the critical role of nuclear power in the global energy landscape.
