This part of IEC 62600 specifies the requirements of the technology qualification process for marine renewable 
technologies. Technology Qualification is a process of providing evidence and arguments to support claims 
that the technology under assessment will function reliably in a target operating environment within specific 
limits and with an acceptable level of confidence. The Technology Qualification process is also assumed in 
IEC TS 62600-2: 2019. The objective of this document is to provide the necessary practices and technical 
requirements, regarding technology qualification methodology, to support the needs of the IECRE certification 
process for marine renewables energy systems. Technology Qualification may be performed at the beginning 
of the certification process to identify the uncertainties, novelties, and modes of failure, mechanisms of failure, 
risks and risk control measures. In addition, Technology Qualification will identify the standards that are 
applicable, to what extent and what adaptation to the technology is required to address the risks. The 
Technology Qualification Plan is the deliverable arising from this process and it will provide all necessary 
actions to achieve certification.

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of international standards in the wave and tidal energy converter subject area. This proposed New Standard is being developed at the request of C600 Technical Committee on Wave and Tidal Energy Converters. It will provide the industry with requirements of the technology qualification process for marine renewable technologies.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.
