IEC 61298-2:2008 pdf free download.Process measurement and control devices – General methods and procedures for evaluating performance – Part 2: Tests under reference conditions.
This standard is not intended as a substitute for existing standards, but is rather intended as a reference document for any future standards developed within the IEC or other standards organizations, concerning the evaluation of process instrumentation. Any revision of existing standards should take this standard into account.
This common standardized basis should be utilised for the preparation of future relevant standards, as follows:
— any test method or procedure, already treated in this standard, should be specified and described in the new standard by referring to the corresponding clause of this standard. Consequently new editions of this standard are revised without any change in numbering and scope of each clause,
— any particular method or procedure. not covered by this standard, should be developed and specified in the new standard in accordance with the criteria, as far as they are applicable, stated in this standard:
— any conceptual or significant deviation from the content of this standard, should be clearly identified and justified if introduced in a new standard.
This part of IEC 61298 specifies general methods and procedures for conducting tests and reporting on the functional and performance characteristics of process measurement and control devices. The tests are applicable to any such devices characterized by their own specific input and output variables, and by the specific relationship (transfer function) between the inputs and outputs, and include analogue and digital devices. For devices that require special tests. this standard should be used, together with any product specific standard specifying special tests
This standard covers tests made under reference conditions.IEC 61298-2:2008 pdf free download.
