This International Standard supplements IEC 964 which applies to design for control rooms of nuclear
power plants. It identifies the Man Machine Interface (MMI) requirements for dedicated systems,
multiplexed conventional systems, and soft control systems. For the main control room of a nuclear
power plant, IEC 964 includes general requirements for layout, user needs and verification and
validation methods, and these aspects will not be repeated in this standard. IEC standard (under
consideration) on Visual Display Unit (VDU) application to main control room should also be read with
this standard, but some reference will be made to indications where necessary for the correct
application of the control requirements.
This standard is intended for application to the design of new main control rooms in nuclear power
plants designed to IEC 964 and which is initiated after the publication of this standard. If it is desired to
apply it to supplementary control points or local control positions, or to existing control rooms or
designs, special caution shall be exercised as it makes assumptions such as automation level that may
not apply.
