NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with IEC 61400-4:2012 Wind turbines Part 4:
Design requirements for wind turbine gearboxes issued by the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) is proposed to be adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the
recommendation of the Wind Turbines Sectional Committee, ET 42 and appro val of the
Electrotechnical Division Council.

The text of IEC Standard has been approved as suitable for publications as an Indian
Standard without deviations. Certain terminology and conventions are, however, not
identical to those used in Indian Standards. 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.

In this adopted standard, references appear to certain International Standards for which
Indian Standard also exist. The corresponding Indian Standard, which are to be
substituted in their respective places are listed below along with their degree of
equivalence for the editions indicated:
