1.2 Application

All requirements of this International Standard are generic and are intended to be applicable to all organizations, regardless of type, size and product provided. Where any requirement(s) of this International Standard cannot be applied due to the nature of an organization and its product, this can be considered for exclusion. Where exclusions are made, claims of conformity to this International Standard are not acceptable unless these exclusions are limited to requirements within Clause 7, and such exclusions do not affect the organization’s ability, or responsibility, to provide product that meets customer and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements.

1.2.1 This standard is applicable to the organization where equipment for generation, transmission, and distribution of power are designed, manufactured, installed, operated and maintained.

1.2.2 Exclusions are not permitted for this standard as for power projects a systems design is essential for any project in view of site specific requirements and hence design needs to be controlled and permitted exclusions do not include manufacturing process design.
