Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 8) (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 8528-8 : 2016 ‘Reciprocating internal combustion engine driven alternating current generating sets — Part 8: Requirements and tests for low-power generating sets’ issued by International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Automotive Prime Movers, Transmission Systems and Internal Combustion Engines Sectional Committee and approval of the Transport Engineering Division Council.

This standard was originally published in 2012, which was identical with ISO 8528-8 : 1995. This first revision of the standard has been undertaken to align it with ISO 8528-8 : 2016.

This Indian Standard is published in several parts. The other parts in this series are:

Part 1 Applications, ratings and performance

Part 2 Engines

Part 3 Alternating current generators for generating sets

Part 4 Control gear and switch gear

Part 5 Generating Sets

Part 6 Test methods

Part 7 Technical declaration for specification and design

Part 9 Measurement and evaluation of mechanical vibrations

Part 10 Measurement of airborne noise by the enveloping surface method

Part 12 Emergency power supply to safety services

The text of the ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standard. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
