Towards a smart society

Smart Grid was one of the foremost standardiza-tion topics in 2014, and it continues to be one in the future. In order to reduce carbon dioxide emis-sions, the use of renewable energy sources will be increased, and energy efficiency will be impro-ved. Centralized power generation is giving way to more and more decentralized generation. In the future world, reasonably priced and uninterrupted supply of energy as well as continuity manage-ment will be important. Energy security will be in-creasingly important.

Securing the supply of electricity, increasing small-scale generation and proliferation of energy storage systems increase the need for data com-munication and data collection. This also makes information security more important. Major reno-vations are needed to the power grid all over the world in the near future.

From the standardization point of view, gre-at challenges will be presented by the specifica-tion of the data models for the communication systems and the reconciliation of requirements from different subsectors such as construction engineering, power distribution automation, po-wer exchanges and small-scale generation. The diversified role of the consumer in the smart grid will introduce new security issues. Also the inter-connections between the consumer’s systems and external data networks will add to the challenges in information security and privacy.

There is a clear need for mutually agreed ru-les as well as management and coordination of the technical properties. This can be achieved through standards. IEC has responded to the challenges by promoting the standardization of the Smart Grid concept.

Managing Director’s Review

Centralization ensures the availability of standards

In 2014, SESKO and SFS reached an agree-ment on making also IEC standards and CENELEC EN standards available through SFS sales during 2015. The biggest interest in sourcing all of their standards from one place lies with global companies operating in Finland, which acquire their standards as large licensed online collections. The possibility to get standards from different sectors from one source is good service to big customers. It is also inevitable in order to maintain SFS as one supply channel in the fierce global competition between standard distributors. In the future IEC and EN standards will not be available for purchase directly from SESKO anymore, but SESKO will continue to advise Finns regarding the use and acquisition of stan-dards. Individual standards and standard collections continue to be available from the IEC webstore.The transfer of sales to SFS has a signifi-cant impact on the organization of work in SESKO, as SESKO has been taking care of selling IEC standards and CENELEC EN standards in Finland since 1994, which is when their sales was transferred to it from SFS. Now the original set-up has been re-stored. Hopefully all customers can be served better by centralizing the selling of standards.

Economic turbulence

Year 2014 was economically a harder time for SESKO than it has had in ages. The big-gest single factor that contributed to the

decline in revenue and resulted in a sig-nificant deficit was the postponement of the publication of the standard on electri-cal work safety until 2015. The publication of this widely distributed standard was originally planned for 2014. The delay was caused by a longer-than-estimated period needed for the national preparation. Also, for the first time in decades, the economic recession could be seen both in the de-crease of the number of participants and in the decrease of revenue from the sales of electrical standards. For the first time the revenue from the sales of IEC standards exceeded the revenue from SFS stan-dards. SESKO finances its operations with this revenue, and big changes have a sub-stantial impact on the operational capa-bility of SESKO. The operational principle of SESKO is that those who benefit from the standards pay for their development, maintenance and availability. Beneficiaries from the standards are the companies that send their experts to influence the content, and to get first-hand knowledge about the standards under preparation. Also those users benefit from standards, who are not involved in the preparation of the standards, but who use the standards to gain easier and quicker access to the market for their products and services.

Interaction enhances the experience for experts

Workshop 2014, arranged jointly by IEC and SESKO, proved that contact-making events are needed despite electronic sources and methods for information management. Experts from SESKO com-

mittees and follow-up groups felt the outcome of the event was very useful. Especially the young experts who are at the beginning of their standardization careers felt it was important to meet ex-perienced experts in order to share experi-ences with them.Electronic systems and communication over the net cannot replace human face-to-face interaction. Even though electro-nic systems bring speed and flexibility to taking care of business and reduce costs, there is still a need for physical meetings and educational events. In the best case these communication methods comple-ment each other. Based on the feedback, there is a clear need to organize similar contact-making events for electrotechni-cal standardization.

Annual Report from SESKO’s Administrative Board

SESKO members

Sesko consisted of 20 members ending 2014. Along with the Annual General Meeting

(AGM) in March 2014, SESKO’s traditio-nal Spring Seminar was held, this time to-gether with IEC, in the form of a two-day workshop on electrotechnical standardiza-tion. The feedback from the seminar was extremely positive and the event attracted a considerable amount of younger indivi-duals representing the next generation in standardization.

Management

SESKO’s Board consists of ten members. Director Kenneth Hänninen at Finnish Energy Industries was elected as the new chairperson for the Administrative Board and President of the association. Matti Rae, Director New Technologies at Ensto Finland Oy, was elected as Vice President. The board conducted five meetings during the year.

The Board Members advocated SESKO’s member communities by divisions so that there were four members from the largest

interest group of standard users (group 1), four members from the group of electro-technical authorities, inspection and test-ing organisations (group 2), and two mem-bers from other interest groups of electro-technical standards (group 3).

Administrative Working Group

The Administrative Working Group of 2014 consisted of President Kenneth Hänninen, Vice President Matti Rae along with the member Vesa Haakana.

Auditing

SESKO’s accounts were audited by Master of Economic Sciences Heidi Vierros APA from KPMG Oy Ab and the deputy auditor was KPMG Oy Ab collectively. Executive Director Risto Hiltunen from Electrical Consulting Engineers NSS acted as the in-spector in accordance with the law regard-ing associations.

Committees

By the end of the year the number of na-tional committees set up by the SESKO Administrative Board was 46. In addition there were more than 100 national fol-low-up groups, which together with the committees consisted of 478 experts. The Administrative Board approved 478 standards, of which 23 were published in Finnish.

Personnel

At the end of 2014, SESKO employed 12 people of which seven were technical ex-perts and five in supporting service roles. One person had a shorter working day and two were on part-time pension.


Timo Lehtonen and Hasse Nordman Jafar Keshvari

Awards

Erkki Yrjölä Medals

In 2014, SESKO’s Erkki Yrjölä Medal (EY) was awarded to two distinguished experts in standardization: Timo Lehtonen and Hasse Nordman.

Timo Lehtonen was awarded for his expertise in the fields of environmental and medical electrotechnical standardiza-tion. Mr. Lehtonen joined the standard-ization committee SK 62 in the 1990s and has chaired the committee since 2011. He has also chaired the committee for SK 111 on environmental aspects of electric and electronic products since its inception in 2005. His private company offers guidance on compliance management for medical equipment utilizing the standards actively.

Hasse Nordman was awarded EY med-al for his particularly long standing and credit able commitment to standardization of power transformers in SESKO’s follow-up group SR 14. His career in standardiza-

tion began back in 1975 where he partici-pated in a working group for IEC TC 14 on Power Transformers. Since then, he has been a member, secretary and chair-man within several international working groups. After a lifetime of service he re-tired from his long-time employer ABB in 2013. As an international token of appreci-ation and recognition IEC awarded him the IEC 1906 Award in 2013 for being a leading expert on thermal performance in trans-formers.

IEC 1906 Award

In 2006, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) celebrated its 100th an-niversary. In honour of the first century it set up the 1906 Award to recognize the excellence in the valuable standardiza-tion work of the experts in technical com-mittees, sub committees and working groups. In 2014, from among over 10 000 experts, the technical committees elect-ed 162 Award winners that represented 71

different technical or certification commit-tees (TC or CA). This year round Finland re-ceived one IEC 1906 Award.

Jafar Keshvari (Microsoft Oy) received the IEC 1906 Award for his credits as a con-vener of IEC TC 106/MT1 while harmoniz-ing IEC standards, European standards and ITU’s rules within IEC publications regard-ing exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) caused by mobile phones.

In addition to the maintenance team MT1, Jafar Keshvari convened over sev-eral working groups and project teams within IEC TC 106 dealing with EMF de-termination related publications and SAR measurements. He is an active member for corresponding working groups with-in the European CENELEC, several work-ing groups regarding high-frequency EMF within the international organisations IEEE and ITU along with SESKO’s committee SK 106.


Finance

The association’s operating costs were pre-cisely € 1 402 558.15, and decreased from the previous year by nearly three percent. Personnel expenses declined by 6.4 % com-pared to the previous year. This was main-ly due to the fact that two persons were on part-time pension. The relative share of personnel costs was 61 % of the total operating expenses.

The association’s financial result for 2014 was a negative sum of € 90 799.89. The result deficit was followed from the fact that the electrical safety standard ini-tially intended to be published during 2014 was delayed for national procedure until 2015. Therefore, SESKO was left without the compilation compensation budget for the past year on selling that standard.

Distribution of standards

The compilation and distribution compen-sation based on selling standards covered 43 % (47%) of SESKO’s financing. The compi-

lation compensation of SFS standards and handbooks added up to 21 % (31 %). The previous year’s figures are in parentheses.

Participation fees

In SESKO’s standardization committees and follow-up groups, there were 478 (488) electrotechnical experts from various areas of the Finnish society. The number of participants decreased about two percent. The return from the partici-pation fees covered approximately 26 % (25 %) of the entire financing.

Assistance from the Ministry of Employment and the Economy (TEM)

SESKO received overall € 174 882.69 as state support from TEM via the Finnish Standards Association (SFS), of which 56 % (54 %) was spent for international mem-bership fees (IEC, CENELEC). SFS used

state funded assistance from TEM to cover secretarial, translation and conference ex-penses. The travel grants paid directly to the participants of international standard-ization meetings accounted for € 35 400 and remained at the previous year’s level. VTT Expert Services Oy covered IECEx, SGS Fimko Oy covered IECEE and KEMET Electronics Oy covered IECQ re-garding membership fees.

Assistance from Promotion Centre for Electrical Safety (STEK)

During the year, the assistance for stan-dardization on electrical safety from STEK was € 185 000, which accounted for approximately 14 % of funding.

AUDITOR’S REPORT


INSPECTOR’S REPORT


Raising awareness of standardization and electrotechnical standards through vari-ous communication channels is one of SESKO’s missions. SESKO member com-munities and experts along with the com-panies and organizations closely related to electrotechnology as well as the educa-tional institutions and students in the field are the target groups. To them, it’s impor-tant to obtain current information about the new standards as well as standardiza-tion projects. In its communications tar-geted at companies, SESKO emphasises the committee members’ opportunities to influence the content of standards related to their business during the standardiza-tion process.

SESKO in the spotlight

SESKO approaches its target group through digital and printed media of in-terest. Altogether 204 (207) articles and newsletters, about electrotechnical stan-dardization or standards, were published in various media formats during 2014. SESKO, along with electrotechnical stan-dards, were displayed on many websites and active directories as well as seminars and educational events.

SESKO’s website www.sesko.fi and the printed publication SESKO magazine, issued five times yearly, are well-known information channels within the electro-technical field. Each year the first annual issue of SESKO magazine includes a list of established and published standards from the previous year. Volumes of the maga-zine are archived on the website www.sesko.fi.

Main themes

During the year, the most important stan-dards dealt with general cabling, IT cabling design and installation, overhead cables and environmental conditions test meth-ods. Safety related standardization topics, such as alarm centres, camera surveillance and access control, were raised via com-munications.

The Finnish magazines Sähkö&Tele, Automaatioväylä and a newsletter Well-being Through Electricity – Vision 2030 re-ceived articles on smart grids standardiza-tion. Since the features and usage of the new light source LED attracted attention, information about it along with accurate terminology regarding lighting was dis-tributed in various contexts. Articles on se-curity standards were prepared for theme issues of professional publications.

A revision of the electrical safety stan-dard SFS 6002 was circulated for com-ments at the end of the year. The draft standard related to the entire electrical field was announced widely for various interest groups. Within the articles, it was stated that as a committee member the experts can influence the content of the standards during the drafting stage.

During 2014, the work and influence of committees as well as the contribution from committee experts resulting suc-cess was highlighted in communications. The broad mandate of SESKO’s commit-tee SK 34 on luminaires was introduced in VALO magazine, the committee SK 78 on safety at electrical work in SESKO maga-zine’s March issue and the committee SK 31 on explosive atmospheres in the June issue.

SESKO online

Current European and global standard-ization topics were reported within the news section as well as on the site of each committee. All the standards and hand-books released during the year were pre-sented in the section for new publications. The English section serves SESKO’s inter-national partners and also participants of international meetings in Finland. Renewal of the website was started at the end of the year.

Communications

Wellbeing through Electricity – A Vision for 2030

SESKO worked actively in the project ‘Wellbeing through Electricity – A Vision for 2030’ together with four of its mem-ber communities: Finnish Electrotechnical Trade Association, Electrical Consulting Engineers NSS, Electrical Contractors’ Association of Finland STUL and Promotion Centre for Electrical Safety STEK. SESKO is represented in the project management team, the planning group for Visio 2030 seminar and the newsletter editorial coun-cil. SESKO supports the idea and vision of the project and promotes its message.

Events

Instead of a traditional annual spring semi-nar SESKO held a two-day workshop on electrotechnical standardization. Experts from IEC and SESKO presented the sys-tem, strategies, processes and tools for electrotechnical standardization. In addi-tion, they introduced the effective use of data systems. The event attracted both accomplished experts and professionals

just starting off their careers. The feed-back from the seminar was extremely positive. SESKO also participated in the ‘Wellbeing through Electricity – A Vision for 2030’ seminar at Heureka and took part in the SFS FORUM 2014 along with other standards writing bodies.

Educational cooperation

SESKO continued its involvement in the European standardization organisations’ CEN and CENELEC joint working group re-garding Education about Standardization (JWG EaS). Correspondingly, SESKO is involved in a steering group of SFS and its affiliates acting as a National mirror group for JWG EaS.

SESKO aims its educational presenta-tions and academic information towards students and teachers in the electrotech-nical field, mainly in polytechnics, univer-sities of applied sciences and vocational institutes. SESKO maintains an electro-technical section on www.sfsedu.fi.

In 2014, SESKO organized three edu-cational events presenting electrotechni-cal standardization and how standards are

applied to ensure safety. Tritonia library brought together electrical and energy technology students from the University of Vaasa and Vamk University of Applied Sciences for the seminar in Vaasa. The second event was arranged for the elec-trotechnical and automation students of JAMK University of Applied Sciences and the third at Aalto University School of Electrical Engineering in Otaniemi, Espoo. All in all, these events were attended by nearly 200 teachers and students.

Education

SESKO’s personnel held lectures during a number of events organized by many member communities and other organizations. By and large, the lectures dealt with the standardization system, involvement in standardization, standards content and their status as well as their guidance. Specific topics in 2014 included lighting standards and their use, safety at electrical work and high voltage over-head lines.


Standardization

Committees and follow-up groups

Overall, by the end of 2014, SESKO had 46 standardization com-mittees and approximately 100 follow-up groups having a total of 478 expert members.

The standardization committees assemble regularly with a designated chairperson and secretary. Committees are usual-ly set up for nationally significant electrotechnical lines of busi-ness in order to achieve a national consensus. National commit-tees may also be required when there is a special need to have standards published in Finnish. For IEC and CENELEC subjects, which deal mainly with international standardization or have only a few actors within Finland, there is no need for a national committee however SESKO provides follow-up groups. Besides members, a contact person is appointed for each follow-up group.

The activities of committees and follow-up groups

The focus areas of the standardization committees and follow-up groups vary annually depending on each topic. Within all Working Groups, active and comprehensive participation in IEC and CENELEC voting, commenting and group work is important. This is the best way to influence the contents of standards and be prepared for their implementation. Concerning fields in which there are many actors in Finland, the translation of standards and preparation of national parts to standards is an essential com-ponent of the work within committees.

The committee SK 78, dealing with standard SFS 6002 on safety at work, has always conducted their assignments in good spirit. Views have been considered carefully and the work within the committee has been consensus driving at its best.

Pictured are the committee members in March 2014 with Chairman Martti Tukiainen in the first row second from the right.


Active Committees and Follow-up Groups in 2014

SK 1 TerminologyDuring 2014, the committee has transferred all electrotechnical terms that have been translated into Finnish to the IEC Electrope dia database. Electropedia is free for all to use at www.elec tro pedia.org. The IEC vocabulary standard IEC 60050 has at the moment more than 20 000 terms, about half of which (9 948 terms) have been translated into Finnish. Vocabularies have traditionally been published as printed publications, but now IEC is developing a database for electrical terms. The committee SK 1 is actively participating in the maintenance and development of the new database. In the future, Finnish translations of electrotechnical vocabularies will be published in the Electropedia database, and, when necessary, as printed SFS-standards. The terminology committee SK 1 is coordinating the preparation of electrotechnical vocabularies and their Finnish translations. The activities of the committee are horizontal, and it forms a solid foundation for the terminology of electro-technology. The committee has experts on electrotechnology and terminology as its members. The committee works with several technical committees and prepares vocabularies on their areas of expertise in collaboration with them.

SK 3 Information Structures, Documentation and Graphical Symbols

Members of the committee SK 3 participated in the activities of IEC standardization committees TC 3, SC 3C and SC 3D and thus influenced the standards on graphical symbols and documenta-tion used in the electrotechnical field. The scope of the commit-tee includes graphical symbols, drawings, documentation man-agement, product information, user manuals and basic safety standards. In 2014, the Finnish version of the standard IEC 60617 Graphical symbols for diagrams was added to the IEC 60617 database. SK 3 is maintaining the Finnish content of the graphi-cal symbol database. The latest work items relate to the revision of the standard on user manuals and the identification of cables and conductors used in direct current installations. The secretary of the international committee, Arto Sirviö, acted as the chair-man of SC 3C and as the secretary of the maintenance team of the standard on graphical symbols, TC 3/MT 60617. SESKO has also the responsibilities of the CENELEC reporting secretariat SR 3C.

SK 11 Overhead LinesThe new basic standard on installation of high-voltage over-head lines, SFS-EN 50341-1, which applies to all overhead lines having a voltage exceeding 1 kV, was translated into Finnish and published. The basic standard is complemented by NNA annexes (National Normative Aspects) from many CENELEC countries, which take into account the special conditions like wind load, ice load, grounding conditions and the typical pylon structures used in those countries. The draft applicable to Finland was prepared and circulated for public comments.

SK 13 Equipment for Electrical Energy Measurement and Load Control

The fourth edition of the standard SFS 3381 on alternating current energy metering equipment was prepared. The standard IEC 62053-24 on the requirements for reactive energy measure-ment applicable to meters of accuracy classes 0,5 S, 1S and 1 was published. The committee participated in the drafting of IEC standards on electrical energy meters and associated com-munication. Especially the standardization of electromagnetic interference emission levels at the communication frequencies 2 – 150 kHz was followed.

SK 17D Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assembliesThe long transition period of standards on low-voltage switch-gear and controlgear assemblies ended when the standard on their general requirements, SFS-EN 60439-1, was withdrawn in the end of November 2014. From now on the new standard se-ries SFS-EN 61439 applies to all low-voltage switchgear and con-trolgear assemblies. The committee continued the updating of the popular handbook on low-voltage switchgear and control-gear assemblies to align it with the new series of standards. The plan is to publish the handbook in 2015. A new edition of the standard on empty enclosures for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies was published in Finnish.

SK 20 Electrical cablesA new edition of the standard on designations for power and installation cables, SFS 4680, was published. A new edition of the standard on the structure of medium voltage cables, SFS 5636, was prepared, and it will be published at the begin-ning of 2015. A new project was started on grid cables in order to figure out what kind of changes are needed as buried cables are becoming more commonplace outside densely populated areas. The standard EN 50575 on the burning properties and related test and assessment methods of power, control and communication cables used in buildings was published. Experts of the committee participated actively in the work of IEC and CENELEC working groups on cables.

Follow-up Group IEC TC 21 Secondary cells and batteriesStandardization in this field has been quite hectic. In addition to normal updating routines, requirements for energy storage devices for storing the electrical energy from renewable energy sources are actively being prepared. The standard draft progressed to the voting stage. A draft on the safety of lithium ion cells used in vehicle battery systems was circulated for com-ments. The performance standard for lithium cells and batteries for industrial applications, EN 62620, was published. The corresponding safety standard was circulated for com-ments. A standard on the safety of lithium cells and batteries to be used exclusively in stationary batteries is being prepared in the working group, and the safety standards for nickel and lithium batteries to be used in portable appliances were approved for voting. The new standard on installations of forklift batteries, EN 62485-3, was published.

SK 22 Power Electronic Systems and EquipmentPower electronics is one of the most vital sectors of the elec-tronics industry in Finland, and there is significant Finnish know-how in this field. Finland is strongly represented in the working groups of IEC TC 22 / SC 22G and “Adjustable speed electric drive systems incorporating semiconductor power converters” and SC 22H “Uninterruptible power systems (UPS)”, as well as in the working group of CENELEC TC 22X drafting the EN 50598 series of ecodesign standards for electrical motor drives. This work-ing group has done some pioneering work to improve energy efficiency by considering the energy losses in the whole system, including the variable frequency drive, the motor and the mechanical equipment driven by the motor. Focusing on just the energy losses of the variable frequency drive would have been misleading, because they are usually insignificant compared to the energy savings achievable in other parts of the system through the use of a variable frequency drive.

SK 23 Plugs, Socket-outlets, Switches and Connecting DevicesA new edition of the national standard on the household plug was circulated for comments nationally. There was active participation in the activities of the maintenance team drafting plug and socket outlet standards, IEC SC 23B/MT 4. From the Finnish point of view, it is important to participate in this work, because the team is drafting the requirements for switches that will be operated at cold temperatures. The long-term use of the household “schuko” plug at high power levels (e.g. to charge an electrical vehicle) is inspiring discussion also amongst inter-

national experts on installation accessories. There was active participation in the international and European standardization of the plug for electrical vehicles. The standard on the plug used for power charging electrical vehicles, EN 62196-3, was ratified. There was active participation in the updating of the standard EN 50066 Mini-couplers for the interconnection of electrical mains supplied equipment in road vehicles. The standard is important to Finland. The scope of the standard was expanded to cover also the requirements for the plug for the heating cord and the socket in the car.

SK 31 Electrical Apparatus for Explosive AtmospheresIEC TC 31 has a well-established position in the standardization of equipment for explosive atmospheres. In addition to stan-dards for electrical devices IEC is preparing standards also for mechanical devices and quality systems. In practice, the require-ments for electrical devices in the ATEX directives are based on IEC standards. For this reason, the committee is regularly deal-ing with matters related to directives and certification. In 2014, the ATEX directive for equipment was revised, and its prepara-tion was followed and its implementation was investigated.Finland has globally significant manufacturers of equipment for explosive atmospheres, which find it important to participate in the preparation of standards. There are 18 persons from Finland who are members in 27 IEC TC 31 working groups. From the Finnish perspective, the focus areas are preparation of standards for motors, luminaries and installations.A new edition of the standard SFS-EN 60079-0 on the general requirements for the construction of equipment for explosive atmospheres was published.

SK 34 Luminaires and Associated EquipmentThe committee is actively participating in the preparation of standards on luminaries, energy-saving light bulbs, leds, led lamps and their auxiliaries. Finns are participating in the meetings of working groups preparing standards on lamps, auxiliaries and luminaries. Nationally, a new Finnish translation of the standard SFS-EN 60598-1 on general requirements for luminaries is under preparation, and so is a vocabulary for led products. Markku Norhio (Helvar) has been the chairman of the committee IEC SC 34C, standardizing auxiliaries, for 7 years, and his term continues until 2017.

SK 45 Nuclear AutomationMembers of the committee SK 45 participated in the activities of IEC TC 45 and CENELEC TC 45AX, through which they influ-enced the standards on nuclear automation. The goals of the committee include influencing safety, the requirements for user interfaces and automation architecture and to bring to the international standardization their know-how and experience

in applying the said standards to nuclear facilities in Finland. The ongoing new-generation plant construction and renewal projects in Finland have attracted global attention. The nuclear technology sector is an important job creator, and due to its lack of CO2 emissions, it is important in the future, too. In the stan-dardization of this field, focus is on revising and harmonizing international standards and implementing them in Europe. In addition to electrical systems, topical topics in the committee have been cybersecurity and discussion about the need to revise the standard IEC 60880.

SK 46 Communication CablesSpecial topics in the committee have been the reallocation of spectrum subsequent to digitalization, and new requirements for electromagnetic screening effectiveness and EMC. After serving the maximum extent of his term, SK 46 member Lauri Halme relinquished his position as the chairman of IEC TC 46 and IEC SC 46A to his successors, but he is still acting as the chairman of CENELEC TC 46X and as the convenor of TC 46/WG 5 Screening effectiveness. New editions of the standards SFS 2752 and SFS 3158 were published, and the effort to bring all the national communication cable standards up to date was thus completed.

Follow-up Group TC 57 Power systems management and associated information exchangeMembers of the national follow-up group participated in the IEC TC 57 working groups in the development of communi-cation system standards for power grids. The communication standard for the Smart Grid is based on standards prepared by IEC TC 57. These standards define the functional model for the communication system including data security requirements, protocols and data models. They are part of the standardization mandate by the European Commission for Smart Grid, M/490.

SK 61 Safety of Household and Similar Electrical AppliancesThe committee is actively participating in the European and international work in meetings and by commenting numerous international and European standard drafts. Representatives from a Finnish company manufacturing fire prevention and suppression devices for hobs (cooktops) are actively involved in the preparation of a European standard on those. The EN standard was approved by the voting at the end of the year. The standardized solution can prevent numerous hob fires, and it is therefore a significant safety improvement. The committee prepared a change proposal to the standard on flexible heating elements, IEC 60335-2-96, and sent it to IEC.

SK 64 Electrical Installations and Protection Against Electric Shock

The committee SK 64 is responsible for the preparation of the standard series SFS 6000, which is based on CENELEC HD 60364 harmonization documents. SFS 6000 standards have an essential role in ensuring the safety of electrical installations. By acting according to the standards, the requirements of national regulations concerning the safety of electrical instal-lations are considered satisfied. Because the standards have a very large number of users, who need to maintain their knowledge of the contents of the standards, the committee has decided to update the whole standard series at regular intervals.

The SFS 6000 standards, and the handbooks that include them, have been last revised in 2012, and the intention is to start the preparation of the next edition in the end of 2015. In 2014 the focus has been on influencing the contents of the IEC and CENELEC standards that are under preparation.

SK 65 Industrial-process measurement, control and automation

One of the most significant work items was the translation of the standard on the vocabulary of control technology, IEC 60050-351 Ed. 4.0, into Finnish. The chairman of the commit-tee, Kari Hakkarainen, has been actively involved, among other things, in the working group updating the functional safety standard for process industry, IEC 61511. In CENELEC TC 65X, a hot topic continues to be the future of industrial wireless net-works, as the new version 1.8.1 of the ETSI standard EN 300 328 on 2,4 GHz radio devices brings new requirements. A working group has been established to try to figure out a solution to the problems, and a Finnish member joined the group.


SK 69 Electrical Road Vehicles and Industrial TrucksThe committee is following, and through its experts, participat-ing in the preparation of standards on the charging system (IEC 61851) and the plug (IEC 62196) for electrical vehicles by commenting on the drafts. Standards for the communication between the car and the grid are under preparation. The work is expanding to cover also wireless charging, so the develop-ments are followed closely. The activities of CEN-CENELEC group coordinating European standardization of electrical vehicles and the European Smart Charging working group were followed. The committee prepared a new edition of the recommendation “Electrical installations for charging electrical vehicles”, which had attracted broad attention both nationally and internation-ally. This updated recommendation was published on the SESKO website. The new edition focuses on how to take the charging of electrical vehicles into account when planning and building larger charging areas, e.g. in the parking lots of apartment com-munities and malls.

SK 77 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)SK 77 is the national mirror committee to IEC TC 77 and its subcommittees and CENELEC TC 210. The chairman of SK 77 was Ari Honkala from SGS-Fimko Oy. IEC TC 77 and its subcommit-tees prepare mainly test method standards for the immunity to electromagnetic interference. The national committee SK 77 is concentrating on handling IEC drafts. In 2014, about 20 votes and requests for comments were handled. Actual comments were submitted on eight standard drafts, which were also in the CLC/IEC parallel process, and the finished standards were implemented as SFS-EN standards through the announce-ment method. Within the scope of the committee, four mostly updated standards were published during 2014. There are 25 projects in the preparation phase. Completely new standards are rarely published in the field of EMC. The work is concentrat-ing on continuous maintenance of the existing standards, as the technical developments in the field of electronics are rapid.The latest topic that emerged in 2014 was the use of the low voltage grid for communications and resulting interference in the frequency range below 150 kHz. The work is about to start in collaboration with the IEC radio interference committee CISPR.

SK 78 Electrical Work SafetyThe scope of the committee SK 78 was expanded at the begin-ning of 2013 so that in addition to the international standards on live working it is also responsible for updating the extremely important and popular electrical work safety standard SFS 6002. The updating of the standard continued in seven meetings, and the draft was circulated for comments from the public in the fall. The handling of the comments was started at the end of the year, and the standard will be published in the summer of 2015.

SK 79 Alarm SystemsMembers of the committee SK 79 participated in the meetings of IEC TC 79 and CLC TC 79, which are standardizing alarm systems, and the meetings of their working groups. The scope of TC 79 covers the standardization of electrotechnical security and surveillance systems used in buildings, including also alarm transmission systems and alarm receiving centres. The com-mittee prepared Finnish translations for several CLC TC 79 and IEC TC 79 standards. In the beginning of 2014, the replacement of CLC TC 79 EN 5013X standards with new corresponding IEC standards was started. The latest work items of IEC TC 79 are dealing with digital locks, requirements for the communication network in buildings, and product standards for camera surveil-lance systems. The secretary of SK 79, Arto Sirviö, was also acting as the convenor of CLC TC 79 working group on terms and definitions.

Follow-up Group TC 82 Solar photovoltaic energy systemsMembers of the national follow-up group participated in the meetings of IEC TC 82 and CLC TC 82, commented on standard drafts and prepared the content for the new SFS-handbook 607, Solar electrical systems. Solar photovoltaic energy systems have become commonplace in Central Europe. Also in Finland the interest in small-scale generation of electric power and related standards has increased.

Follow-up Group TC 88 Wind TurbinesMembers of the national follow-up group participated in the de-velopment of wind turbine standards in the working groups of the committee IEC TC 88. Wind power technology is a significant method of producing renewable energy. Wind turbine genera-tors are being manufactured from a couple of kilowatts up to megawatt-class power plants and wind power parks. IEC standards give requirements on the safety and performance of the equipment and guidelines on the design of the equipment and present simulation and measurement methods. The number of wind turbines is expected to increase significantly in Finland in the coming years due to the in-feed tariff.

SK 91 Electronics Manufacturing TechnologiesThe committee SK 91 is coordinating three IEC standardization committees. They are IEC TC 91 Electronics assembly technol-ogy, IEC TC 113 Nanotechnology standardization for electrical and electronic products and systems and IEC TC 119 Printed Electronics. The committee IEC TC 91 is preparing standards for electronics assembly technology, including burying components in circuit boards. The committee IEC TC 113 is standardizing nano-techology used in electrical and electronic products. Particularly the significance of graphene in standardization is being followed within the field of the committee, as EU Commission has de-cided to finance a 10-year programme called Graphene Flagship to commercialize applications using graphene. The committee IEC TC 119 is working on several new work items dealing with terminology, measurement methods and conductive inks for printed electronics. The Finnish committee has emphasized that also paper-based structures should be taken into account in addition to polymer and glass based ones. SESKO is responsible for the duties of the CENELEC reporting secretariat SR 91.


SK 99 Power Installations Exceeding 1 kV a.c. (1,5 V d.c.)IEC and CENELEC have published new standards on a.c. power installations exceeding 1 kV, and the preparation of a Finnish standard based on them has been started. The original standard leaves some room for interpretation in the application of requirements on grounding voltages. Because this matter has a great financial impact for the construction of power grids, Finnish Energy Industries and Aalto University studied the appropriate grounding arrangement for the further preparation of the standard. Based on the results of the study, the standard draft was developed further, and the draft was circulated for comments from the public at the end of 2014.

SK 104 Environmental Conditions Classification and Methods of Test

The activity level of the committee increased due to the translation of the basic standard on environmental tests, IEC 60068-1 Ed. 7.0, into Finnish. The translation was pub-lished as SFS-EN 60068-1, and it will also be included in the SFS handbook 671-1 on climatic stress tests. Also a handbook on mechanical stress tests, 671-2, was being prepared. The new handbooks were publicized, among other things, in the SESKO magazine. The secretary of the committee, Olavi Nevalainen, got the responsibility of updating the water test standard IEC 60068-2-18. The standards the committee is responsible for are being used very widely.

Follow-up Group TC 105 Fuel Cell TechnologiesMembers of the national follow-up group participated in the activities of the working groups of the committee IEC TC 105. Fuel cell technology is being used to produce electricity and heat. Fuel cell technology is scalable for use from small consumer devices to large power plants. In distributed small-scale generation fuel cell technology can be used for example to compensate for night-time generation outages of solar energy systems.

SK 111 EnvironmentOne of the most significant work items was the translation of the environmental glossary for electrical and electronic products, IEC 62542 into Finnish. The translated standard was published in June 2014. Participation in the maintenance of the database for the material declaration standard IEC 62474 has continued. The committee has also followed ecodesign and energy efficiency topics e.g. in European Commission and other IEC committees, as the role of the committee is quite horizontal and it is serving several other fields.

SK 205 Home and Building Systems (HBES)The committee is participating in the standardization of general requirements for home and building automation systems (EN 50491 series) and the open communication system (EN 50090/KNX system). In 2014, CENELEC TC 205 has focused on the preparation of standards in response to standardization mandates M/441 and M/490 from the EU Commission. Working groups WG 16 and WG 18 of the committee have prepared

standards specifying the interface between Smart Grid and buildings, and the features of the energy consumption display for consumers. The committee prepared a Finnish translation of the standard SFS-EN 50491-6-1 General requirements for Home and Building Electronic Systems (HBES) and Building Automation and Control Systems (BACS) - Part 6-1: HBES installa-tions - Installation and planning.

SK 215 Information Technology Cabling Systems and Infrastructures

The name of the committee was changed to this form, because it better describes the scope than the former name Electrotechnical aspects of telecommunication equipment. The committee has been following the development of standards on generic cabling systems in CENELEC TC 215. In 2014 a Finnish translation was published of the amendment A2 to the standard EN 50173-4 on generic cabling systems for homes and of the standard EN 50174-3 on installation planning and practices for outdoors. In addition, the committee has been following the development of the standard series EN 50600 on data centres. Information about these standards has also been given to SFS follow-up group SR 311 Resource-efficient data centres. Also the standards under preparation in ISO/IEC JTC 1 SC 25 have been followed, and corrections to the terminology used have been submitted.

SK SG Smart GridThe purpose of the standardization committee on smart grids is to identify essential standardization projects from the Finnish business point of view, e.g. to ensure opportunities for the industry to influence their development. Members of the committee have participated in the activities of the group IEC SMB/SEG 4 “Low-voltage Low Voltage Direct Current Applications, Distribution and Safety for use in Developed and Developing Economies”. The on-going standardization work on emission limits for low-frequency interference has been actively followed and advanced as much as possible. It was decided to transform the coordination committee into the committee SK 8 System requirements for the power grid, as the essential stan-dardization projects related to Smart Grid – such as connecting small scale generators to the grid - are more and more focused in the field covered by IEC TC 8 and its European mirror commit-tee CLC TC 8X. Work of the committee SK 8 commences in the new form in 2015.


Standards and handbooks

Standards implemented and published in 2014

The Finnish Standards Association SFS implemented and includ-ed 425 (584) electrical SFS standards in the SFS Catalogue. In ad-dition, 23 (20) standards were published in Finnish. The figures for the previous year are represented in parentheses. Standards which have national parts or have a large number of users or are otherwise significant were selected to be published in Finnish.

The demand for standards and handbooks declined during 2014 from the previous year. This was largely due to the fact that

SFS standards published in 2014

The number of standards published in Finnish was 23 while the number of the implemented by endorsement SFS standards was 425.

the demand for the three-part edition handbook 600 on electri-cal installations published in 2012 reached its saturation point al-ready during the previous year. SESKO prepared new editions of SFS 6002 on Safety at electrical work and SFS 6001 on High-voltage electrical installations. The preparation was reported openly allowing customers to keep on waiting for the new edi-tions to be published during the following year. Furthermore, the general economic downturn contributed to this drop in demand.

International Standardization

International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

IEC and its members

Finland is represented in IEC by the National Electrotechnical Standardization Association, SESKO. The main authority of the IEC is the Council being the general as-sembly of the National Committees meet-ing once a year at IEC’s General Meeting. For 2014 the General Meeting was held in Tokyo, Japan.

Finns at IEC’s governing bodies

The Council Board (CB) with its 15 mem-bers endorse agendas for the Council. The CB sets up several advisory bodies to take care of various sections such as marketing strategies, technical standardization and conformity assessment matters.

The Marketing and Strategy Board (MSB) members comprise of 15 top-level technology officers appointed from with-in the industry. The MSB aims to improve IEC’s ability to meet the challenges of inno-vative and fast-moving markets within the electrotechnical field.

The Standardization Management Board (SMB) coordinates the Commission’s technical standardization work. Under its authority there are Technical Committees (TC), Advisory Committees (AC) and Strategic Groups (SG).

There are six Advisory Committees re-porting to SMB: ACEA on Environmental Aspects, ACEC on Electromagnetic Compatibility, ACEE on Energy Efficiency, ACOS on Safety, ACTAD on Electricity Transmission and Distribution and ACSEC on Security.

The Conformity Assessment Board (CAB), having 12 members, is responsible for the overall management of the IEC’s conformity assessment Systems.

The IEC has three conformity assess-ment Systems: IECEE on Electrotechnical Equipment and Components, IECQ on Electronic Components, IECEx on certifi-cation of standards relating to Equipment for use in Explosive Atmospheres and IECRE on certification to standards relating to Equipment for use in Renewable Energy Applications. From Finland SGS Fimko Oy is a member of IECEE and VTT Expert Services Oy is a member of IECEx.

Standardization within IEC

Technical Committees (TCs), which can have Sub Committees (SCs) and Working Groups (WG, PT, MT), carry out the stan-dardization for IEC. At the end of the year, the number of TCs and SCs was 174 while there was over 1 300 WG, PT and MT teams. In all, more than 14 000 experts

from around the world worked on tech-nical standardization. Over the year 2014 there were 257 Finnish expert members participating within 248 teams as a mem-ber, chairman or secretary. Finland was a P-member in 128 committees (74 %) and an O-member in 42 committees.

European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC)

CENELEC and its members

The European Committee for Electro-technical Standardization (CENELEC), in which SESKO acts as a Finnish national committee, has members from 33 coun-tries. Additionally 14 other countries, with an affiliate status, and 49 cooperating organizations participate in its work.

The governing body of CENELEC, the General Assembly (AG) had a joint meet-ing with the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Technical Board (BT) held three assemblies having the responsib ility for confirming new EN standards along with other roles.

Finland’s permanent delegate at CENELEC BT is SESKO’s Managing Director Sinikka Hieta-Wilkman, who acted as reporter for CENELEC BT Action Plan Ambition 5 Innovation and Research during 2014.

CENELEC Committees and Working Groups

Around 80 % of electrotechnical standards are based on international IEC standards. Therefore most of the technical stan dar-dization is done at the global IEC level. If there is not an IEC standard or if the standard must have changes made, e.g. due to the EU Directives, CENELEC assigns technical committees or project groups to the work.

There were 80 (81) technical commit-tees (TC/SC), 290 (277) working groups (WG) and 19 (17) project groups for BT (BTTF, BTWG). Figures for the previous year are presented in parentheses.

During 2014 CENELEC ratified 509 (432) new standards. The total number of active standards was 6 519 (6 372).

Finnish participants in CENELEC working groups

Altogether Finland had 90 (87) member-ships managed by 48 (50) persons in 56 (53) working groups. Figures for the pre-vious year are presented in parentheses. Seven meeting were held via web. ISO/IEC JTC 1 convened seven times.

In all, 55 (57) Finns attended a total of 52 (56) CENELEC meetings and one person participated in one CEN-CENELEC meeting. One CENELEC committee meeting was held in Finland.

SESKO’s field of knowledge consists of 4 (4) CEN working groups having 4 (4) memberships managed by 4 (4) persons. Also 4 (1) CEN/CENELEC joint groups had 5 (1) Finnish expert members. In addition, Finland had one representative at two CEN-CENELEC-ETSI meetings.
