Supplementary Specification to IEC 60076-1 Transformers
Foreword
This specification was prepared under Joint Industry Programme 33 (JIP33) "Standardization of Equipment
Specifications for Procurement" organized by the International Oil & Gas Producers Association (IOGP) with
the support from the World Economic Forum (WEF). Companies from the IOGP membership participated in
developing this specification to leverage and improve industry level standardization globally in the oil and gas
sector. The work has developed a minimized set of supplementary requirements for procurement, with life
cycle cost in mind, resulting in a common and jointly agreed specification, building on recognized industry and
international standards.
Recent trends in oil and gas projects have demonstrated substantial budget and schedule overruns. The Oil
and Gas Community within the World Economic Forum (WEF) has implemented a Capital Project Complexity
(CPC) initiative which seeks to drive a structural reduction in upstream project costs with a focus on industry-
wide, non-competitive collaboration and standardization. The CPC vision is to standardize specifications for
global procurement for equipment and packages. JIP33 provides the oil and gas sector with the opportunity to
move from internally to externally focused standardization initiatives and provide step change benefits in the
sector's capital projects performance.
This specification has been developed in consultation with a broad user and supplier base to realize benefits
from standardization and achieve significant project and schedule cost reductions.
The JIP33 work groups performed their activities in accordance with IOGP's Competition Law Guidelines
(November 2014).

Introduction
The purpose of this specification is to define a minimum common set of requirements for the procurement of
transformers in accordance with IEC 60076-1, Edition 3, 2011-04, Power Transformers for application in the
petroleum and natural gas industries.
This specification follows a common document structure comprising the four documents as shown below,
which together with the purchase order define the overall technical specification for procurement.
This specification is to be applied in conjunction with the supporting data sheet, quality requirements
specification (QRS) and information requirements specification (IRS) as follows.
This specification defines the technical requirements for the supply of the equipment and is written as
an overlay to IEC 60076-1, following the IEC 60076-1 clause structure. Clauses from IEC 60076-1 not
amended by this specification apply as written to the extent applicable to the scope of supply.
Modifications to IEC 60076-1 defined in this specification are identified as Add (add to clause or add
new clause), Replace (part of or entire clause) or Delete.
The data sheet defines application specific requirements, attributes and options specified by the
purchaser for the supply of equipment to the technical specification. The data sheet may also include
fields for supplier provided information attributes subject to purchaser’s technical evaluation. Additional
purchaser supplied documents may also be incorporated or referenced in the data sheet to define scope
and technical requirements for enquiry and purchase of the equipment.
The QRS defines quality management system requirements and the proposed extent of purchaser
conformity assessment activities for the scope of supply. Purchaser conformity assessment activities
are defined through the selection of one of four generic conformity assessment system (CAS) levels on
the basis of evaluation of the associated service and supply chain risks. The applicable CAS level is
specified by the purchaser in the data sheet or in the purchase order.
The IRS defines the information requirements, including contents, format, timing and purpose to be
provided by the supplier. It may also define specific conditions which invoke information requirements.
The terminology used within this specification and the supporting data sheet, QRS and IRS follows that of
IEC 60076-1 and is in accordance with ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 as appropriate.
The data sheet and IRS are published as editable documents for the purchaser to specify application specific
requirements. The supplementary specification and QRS are fixed documents.
The order of precedence (highest authority listed first) of the documents shall be:
a) regulatory requirements;
d) this specification;
e) IEC 60076-1.
1 Scope
Replace clause with
1.1 General
This specification amends and supplements IEC 60076-1 and associated parts of IEC 60076 referenced in
IEC 60076-1 for the design, manufacture and testing of three-phase and single-phase power transformers,
including auto-transformers.
Included in the scope of this specification are the following types of transformers:
– converter transformers;
For categories of power transformers and reactors which have their own IEC standards, this specification is
applicable only when it is specifically called up by cross reference in the other standards. Such standards exist
for:
Excluded from the scope of this specification are the following types of transformers:
– single-phase transformers with rated power less than 1 kVA and three-phase transformers less than
5 kVA;
– instrument transformers;
– starting transformers;
– testing transformers;
– welding transformers;
– mining transformers;
Where IEC standards do not exist for such categories of transformers, this specification may still be applicable
either as a whole or in part.
