About This Item
IEC 60700-2:2016/AMD1:2021 is a focused amendment to the terminology document for thyristor valves used in high voltage direct current power transmission. It supports clearer technical communication around HVDC valve systems by refining how terms are understood and applied in engineering documentation, procurement records, and compliance work. For teams handling specification reviews, technical validation, or conformity assessment, IEC 60700-2:2016/AMD1:2021 helps align terminology with the parent document and maintain consistency across project stakeholders.
Purpose of IEC 60700-2:2016/AMD1:2021
The purpose of IEC 60700-2:2016/AMD1:2021 is to modify and support the terminology framework used for thyristor valves in HVDC power transmission. As an amendment to IEC 60700-2:2016, it is intended to improve precision in technical language rather than define a complete standalone technical regime. That makes it relevant for engineering documentation, technical review, and quality workflows where consistent terminology can reduce ambiguity during design coordination, verification activities, and compliance preparation.
Compliance applications of IEC 60700-2:2016/AMD1:2021
Organizations working with HVDC converter equipment may use IEC 60700-2:2016/AMD1:2021 when reviewing project specifications, vendor documentation, test plans, or internal standards libraries. It is especially relevant where thyristor valve terminology must remain aligned across engineering, procurement, and laboratory evaluation activities. In regulated or formally controlled environments, the amendment can support documented evaluation, technical assessment, and operational consistency when preparing technical files or comparing supplier documentation against the parent reference.
Benefits of IEC 60700-2:2016/AMD1:2021
IEC 60700-2:2016/AMD1:2021 can improve safety and risk management by reducing terminology gaps in high-voltage direct current projects. Clear and aligned wording supports testing consistency, engineering validation, and stronger conformity assessment preparation, particularly where multiple teams or suppliers are involved. For procurement and compliance workflows, the amendment helps maintain a more reliable technical document set, which can simplify review cycles and lower the chance of misinterpretation in equipment specifications, acceptance checks, and quality assurance processes.
