IEC 60092-501:2013(E)规定了所有电力推进装置的要求，并给出了至少以下方面的规格、系统设计、安装和测试: -发电机及其原动机； -配电盘； -变压器/电抗器； -半导体转换器； -推进马达； -励磁系统； -控制、监测和安全系统； -电线、电缆、母线、线槽系统； -谐波滤波器。 用作辅助转向装置的船首和船尾推进器、助推器和带回家装置、所有辅助发电厂以及蓄电池供电的推进机械和设备不包括在内。这第五版取消并取代了2007年出版的第四版。它构成技术修订。与上一版相比，此版本包括以下重大技术变更:a)有关系统责任、电磁兼容性(EMC)、谐波失真和滤波的要求、对带有推进电机和吊舱驱动器的船舶的特殊要求以及电源管理系统(PMS)的要求； b)总体技术评审，根据通用要求和参考设备标准更新标准。

IEC 60092-501:2013(E) specifies requirements for all electric propulsion plants and gives the specifications, system design, installation and testing of at least:
- generators and their prime movers;
- switchboards;
- transformers/reactors;
- semiconductor convertors;
- propulsion motors;
- excitation systems;
- control, monitoring and safety systems;
- wires, cables, busbars, trunking systems;
- harmonic filters.
Bow and stern thrusters intended as auxiliary steering devices, booster and take-home devices, all auxiliary generating plants, and accumulator battery powered propulsion machinery and equipment are excluded. This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition published in 2007. It constitutes a technical revision. This edition included the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) requirements regarding system responsibility, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), harmonic distortion and filtering, special requirements for ships with propulsion motor(s) and podded drives, and power management system (PMS);
b) overall technical review to update the standard according to general requirements and referenced equipment standards.
