IEC TS 62600-2:2016（E）提供了基本设计要求，以确保波浪、潮汐和其他水流能量转换器（称为海洋能量转换器（MEC））在指定设计寿命内的工程完整性。提供一个适当的防护等级，以防止可能导致一级结构失效的所有危险，其定义为包括结构元件、基础、系泊和锚、堆和用于抵抗全局载荷的装置浮力的集合系统。 包括MECs子系统的要求，如控制和保护机制、内部电气系统、机械系统和系泊系统，因为它们与现场特定外部环境条件下设备的结构可行性有关。本文件适用于波浪、潮汐和其他水流转换器，以及漂浮或固定在海底或海岸的结构物。本文件适用于运行期间无人驾驶的结构。 本文件阐述了现场特定条件、关键结构和结构接口的安全系数、外部荷载情况、关键结构和结构接口的失效概率和失效后果，以及故障安全设计实践。

IEC TS 62600-2:2016(E) provides the essential design requirements to ensure the engineering integrity of wave, tidal and other water current energy converters, referred to as marine energy converters (MECs), for a specified design life. Provides an appropriate level of protection against damage from all hazards that may lead to failure of the primary structure, defined as the collective system comprising the structural elements, foundation, mooring and anchors, piles, and device buoyancy designed to resist global loads. Includes requirements for subsystems of MECs such as control and protection mechanisms, internal electrical systems, mechanical systems and mooring systems as they pertain to the structural viability of the device under site-specific external environmental conditions. This document applies to wave, tidal and other water current converters and to structures that are either floating or fixed to the seafloor or shore. This document applies to structures that are unmanned during operational periods. This document addresses site-specific conditions, safety factors for critical structures and structural interfaces, external load cases, failure probability and failure consequences for critical structures and structural interfaces, and failsafe design practices.
