IEC 62671:2013规定了某些包含嵌入式软件或电子配置数字电路的设备，这些设备尚未按照其他IEC标准生产，这些标准适用于对核电厂安全至关重要的系统和设备，但可用于核电厂。它提供了选择和评估此类设备的要求，这些设备具有专用、有限和特定的功能，且可配置性有限。

IEC 62671:2013 addresses certain devices that contain embedded software or electronically-configured digital circuits that have not been produced to other IEC Standards which apply to systems and equipment important to safety in nuclear power plants, but which are candidates for use in nuclear power plants. It provides requirements for the selection and evaluation of such devices where they have dedicated, limited, and specific functionality and limited configurability.
