No additional licence required. All free libraries above are included with every OpsWork tier — Foundation, Standard, and Enterprise. Updates tracked automatically when publishers issue new versions.

Connected to your subscriptions

Your existing subscriptions, finally searchable.

Most UK HV consultancies already hold BSI, IEC and NEC4 subscriptions. Robert connects to them during implementation so your engineers stop searching PDFs and start searching standards.

BSI

BSI Knowledge subscription

BS, BS EN, ISO and IEC adopted standards

+

BS 7671 — IET Wiring Regulations

BS EN 50522 — Earthing of HV installations

BS EN 60076 — Transformer ratings

BS EN 62271-200 — AC switchgear above 1kV

BS EN 62305 — Lightning protection

BS EN 61140 — Protection against electric shock

BS EN 60099-4 — Surge arresters

BS EN 60044-1 — Current transformers

BS EN 60898-1 — Circuit breakers

BS EN 61936-1 — Power installations above 1kV AC

Robert reads the BS and BS EN standards your BSI Knowledge licence covers. ISO management standards are covered separately above.

IEC

IEC subscription

International Electrotechnical Commission publications

+

IEC 60287 — Cable current rating

IEC 60228 — Conductors of insulated cables

IEC 60502 — Power cables 1–30kV

IEC 60076 — Power transformers

NEC4

NEC4 contract suite

NEC Digital Professional licence

+

NEC4 ECC — Engineering and Construction Contract

NEC4 ECS — Engineering and Construction Subcontract

NEC4 PSC — Professional Service Contract

NEC4 TSC — Term Service Contract

All Options A–F including compensation events and early warnings

Secondary Options X1–X29 and Y(UK) clauses

Connected to your NEC Digital Professional licence. James and Michael reference clauses by number during NEC4 obligations and Application for Payment workflows.

DNO

UK DNO technical documents

Your framework-licensed documents

+

DNO technical documents are licensed to framework contractors. If your organisation holds the rights, Robert indexes them inside your own tenant — searchable like the public standards, but only by your engineers, only inside your data boundary.

DNO frameworks supported during implementation:

SSEN UKPN NGED SPEN ENWL

Most customers index 80–150 DNO documents during implementation.

Annual subscription costs sit outside OpsWork pricing. Most UK HV consultancies already hold BSI Knowledge, IEC and NEC4 Digital subscriptions as a routine cost of business. We map your existing access during implementation. If you don't currently subscribe, we help you procure at standard supplier rates — no mark-up.

How engineers use it

Real questions. Real sources.

Your engineers type the question they need answered. Robert searches across every library — free and licensed — finds the relevant clauses, and returns the answer with source references attached.

"cable sizing 132kV XLPE burial depth"

IEC 60287 + ENA TS 09-12

"earth fault clearance time 33kV substation"

BS EN 50522 clause 5.3.2

"G99 application limits for 5MW solar farm"

ENA G99 Type B

"NEC4 compensation event timebar"

NEC4 ECC clause 61.3

"NERS Section 13 competency evidence checklist"

NERS v10 Section 13.4

"33kV switchgear arc flash IP rating"

IEC 62271-200

Every answer cites the source document, clause and version. Engineers approve all design outputs.
