IEC 61514-2:2026 specifies design reviews and tests intended to measure and determine the static and dynamic performance, the degree of intelligence and the communication capabilities of single-acting or double-acting intelligent valve positioners. The tests can be applied to positioners which receive standard analogue electrical input signals (as specified in IEC 60381-1 or IEC 60381-2) and/or digital signals via a data communication link (for example Fieldbus) and have a pneumatic output. An intelligent valve positioner as defined in Clause 3 is an instrument that uses for performing its functions digital techniques for data processing, decision-making and bi-directional communication. It can be equipped with additional sensors and additional functionality supporting the main function. The performance testing of an intelligent valve positioner is conducted with the positioner mounted on and connected to the actuator/valve assembly the positioner is used on. The specific characteristic parameters of the actuator/valve combination such as size, stroke, friction, type of packing, spring package and supply pressure for the pneumatic part has significant impact on the performance of a positioner. The methods of evaluation given in this document are intended for testing laboratories to verify equipment performance specifications. The manufacturers of intelligent positioners are urged to apply this document at an early stage of development.
This document is intended to provide guidance for designing evaluations of intelligent valve positioners by providing:
- a checklist for reviewing their hardware and software design in a structured way;
- test methods for measuring and qualifying their performance under various environmental and operational conditions;
- methods for reporting the data obtained.
When a full evaluation, in accordance with this document, is not required or possible, the tests which are required are performed and the results reported in accordance with the relevant clauses of this document. In such cases, the test report will state that it does not cover the full number of tests specified herein. Furthermore, the items omitted are mentioned, to give the reader of the report a clear overview. This document is also applicable for non-intelligent microprocessor-based valve positioners without means for bi-directional communication. In that case an evaluation will be reduced to a limited programme of performance testing and a review of the construction. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2013. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) in 5.5.2, the standard for the measurements of influence quantities has been changed to IEC 62828-1:2026;
b) all references to IEC 61514 have been updated to IEC 61514:2026;
c) the aspect of cyber-security has been added in 4.2.7 and 4.2.9.
This document is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61514:2026.

IEC 61514:2026 specifies tests designed to determine the static and dynamic performance of single-acting or double-acting analogue positioners. The tests apply to positioners which receive standard analogue input signals (as specified in IEC 60381-1, IEC 60381-2 and IEC 60382) and have a pneumatic output. Positioners with pulsed or digital input signals, positioners with digital controllers and positioners with pulsed outputs are outside the scope of this document. Testing is conducted either on a positioner alone, independently of an actuator, or on a positioner mounted and connected to a specific actuator, as a combined unit. The text makes clear where different approaches are required. The methods of evaluation given in this document are intended for use by manufacturers to determine the performance of their products, and by users, or independent testing establishments, to verify manufacturers' performance specifications. The closest liaison between the evaluating body and the manufacturer is indispensable during the tests, including the possibility for the manufacturer to influence the test programme based on the manufacturer's specifications for the instrument and comment on both the test programme and the results. This document is intended to provide definitions of positioner elements, actions, and characteristics, to specify uniform methods of measuring performance errors and effects of influence quantities on those characteristics, and to describe methods of reporting and evaluating the results of the measurement data obtained. The test conditions described in this publication (for example range of ambient temperatures and power supply) relate to conditions which commonly arise in use. Consequently, the values specified are used where no other values are specified by the manufacturer or user. If other values are used, they will be stated. It is recognized that the manufacturer's specifications and instructions for installation and operation apply during all steps. The tests specified in this document are not necessarily sufficient for instruments specifically designed for unusually arduous conditions. Conversely, a reduced series of tests can serve adequately for instruments designed to perform within a more limited range of conditions. When a full evaluation, in accordance with this document, is not required or possible, only the tests which are required are performed and the results reported in accordance with the relevant parts of this document. In such cases, the test report will state that it does not cover the full number of tests specified herein. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2000. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:

IEC 61512-1:2026 applies to systems, specifications, and their use for implementing batch and related procedure-oriented manufacturing controls in the process industries. This document establishes a reference model framework for procedure-oriented control, defines terms to help explain the model relationships and usage, and describes general criteria for evaluating conformance. This follows the principle of separation between recipe procedural elements and equipment procedural elements enabling operations to define recipes without the need of changes in equipment procedures.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1997. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) Models and text are modified to provide more detail and clarity. Key clarifications are:
1) Two types of equipment modules are defined: generic and recipe-aware. All recipe-aware equipment modules contain procedural control and can be used as phases in the recipe.
2) Execution of all procedural control contained directly in units is part of the Unit Supervision activity.
3) The relationships between types of recipes, recipe components, and equipment control are more fully described and illustrated.
4) Entity relationship diagrams have been replaced with more intuitive UML instance diagrams, except for the equipment entity model.
5) The transition diagram for the procedural states example has been updated with a more intuitive and complete UML state diagram.
6) References to other standards in the series and to IEC 62264 are included to provide direction for further clarification of selected topics.
7) Activity names are capitalised to help prevent confusion with similar terms, such as their underlying functions.
b) Previous Clauses 4 through 6 (now Clauses 4 through 8) were rearranged to provide a clearer top-down organisation of the document. Key changes are:
1) Removing the lower levels of the physical (role-based equipment) model (see 4.4.2) to eliminate redundancy because their groupings are defined by the associated functionality in the equipment entity model and are not meaningful for batch control without those associations.
2) Describing equipment control and the equipment entity model immediately after the physical (role-based equipment) model and describing each level as completely as possible without excessive use of forward references (see 4.4.3).
3) Combining the descriptions of basic, procedural, and coordination control with their usage in each type of equipment entity, providing a single consolidated discussion of each type of control (see Clause 5)
4) Additional considerations to support application of the models have been grouped in Clause 7 to clarify their supporting relationship to the core models.
c) Clause 9 was added to define completeness, compliance, and conformance in relation to this document.

IEC 62541-2:2026 describes the OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) security model. It describes the security threats of the physical, hardware, and software environments in which OPC UA is expected to run. It describes how OPC UA relies upon other standards for security. It provides definition of common security terms that are used in this and other parts of the IEC 62541 series. It gives an overview and concept of the security features that are specified in other parts of the series. It references services, mappings, and Profiles that are specified normatively in other parts of the 62541 series. It provides suggestions or best practice guidelines on implementing security. Any seeming ambiguity between this document and one of the other normative parts does not remove or reduce the requirement specified in the other normative part.
There are many different aspects of security that are addressed when developing applications. However, since OPC UA specifies a communication protocol, the focus is on securing the data exchanged between applications. This does not mean that an application developer can ignore the other aspects of security like protecting persistent data against tampering. It is important that the developers look into all aspects of security and decide how they can be addressed in the application. Common security features for industrial Controls are defined in IEC 62443-4-2 and OPC UA defined a relationship to them in Annex A.
This document is directed to readers who will develop OPC UA applications. It is also for end Users that wish to understand the various security features and functionality provided by OPC UA. It also offers some recommendations that can be applied when deploying systems. These recommendations are generic in nature since the details would depend on the actual implementation of the OPC UA applications and the choices made for the site security.

IEC 62264-2:2026 specifies interface content exchanged between manufacturing control functions and other enterprise functions as interrelated information models. The information models are represented as an interrelated collection of conceptual object models which can be used for the implementation of applications with logical data and physical data models. The data exchanges in interfaces are scoped as between Level 3 manufacturing operations and Level 4 business systems in the hierarchical model defined in IEC 62264-1. The purpose of this document is to reduce the risk, cost, and errors associated with interface implementation. Since this document covers many manufacturing operations and enterprise domains and there are many different standards for those domains, the semantics of this data exchange standard are described at a conceptual level intended to enable the other standards to be mapped to these semantics. To this end, this document defines a set of elements contained in the generic interface, together with a mechanism for extending the interface content for implementations. The scope is limited to the definition of object models and attributes of the exchanged information defined in the IEC 62264-1. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2013. It is published as a double logo standard. This edition constitutes a technical revision. Due to the extent of the changes and updates, this document cannot ensure backward compatibility to implementations based on older editions. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition and ANSI/ISA 95.00.02-2018 (ED3): a) object models are added for the use of interactive communications to notify subscribers about the occurrence of events and to provide context information about the event, making the information exchange more efficient and consistent. The added object models were the operations event model and operations record model. b) operations location model and spatial definition attribute added to allow the description of operation locations. c) operations test model added to define how test specifications and test results are related to testable objects, operations test requirements, actual resource, and work definitions. d) definition of possible measurement uncertainty sub-attributes for all value, quantity and duration attributes defined in this document. e) updated hierarchy scope model. f) removed as separate models in this edition were the models for product definition, production schedule, production performance, and production capability. Their content is covered for all manufacturing operations management categories under operations models. g) object model was added for the operations segment capability as a collection of resources related to other operations models. h) updated relationship name and role name conventions established in 3.3.4 and implemented across all models and associated tables. i) updated all objects’ relationship role table with explicit source and target names. j) updated common header attributes for objects and property objects established in 4.5 and implemented across all models and associated tables. k) updated explanation of the ‘relationships between resource reference objects in operations management information models and resource models. These additional resource relationships are added to all operations management models. l) added an annex explanation for implementation options for specifying values in unit of measurement a

IEC 62541-9:2026 specifies the representation of Alarms and Conditions in the OPC Unified Architecture. Included is the Information Model representation of Alarms and Conditions in the OPC UA address space. Other aspects of alarm systems like alarm philosophy, life cycle, alarm response times, alarm types and many other details are captured in standards such as IEC 62682 and ISA 18.2. The Alarms and Conditions Information Model in this document, is designed in accordance with IEC 62682 and ISA 18.2. Annex C specifies a recommended mapping between OPC Classic Alarm & Events (A&E) servers to the model described in this document. Annex A describes recommended localized names for Alarm states. Annex B describes examples (e.g. Event sequences, Alarm areas in AddressSpace). This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
a) addition of "Comment" parameter to Alarm shelving methods;
b) addition of method that allows a client to get the members of a group, since it is possible that the AddressSpace does not expose instances of alarms;
c) addition of deadband properties for all limits in the limit AlarmType (from which all other types described in this issue are derived);
d) addition of text explaining the disabling of alarms is no longer supported in ISA 18.2 and that it is maintained in this document for backward compatibility, but that it is recommended that Alarm not be disabled;
e) addition of optional severities for limit alarms;
f) addition of new AlarmState variable type that can be used to collect alarm information for displays on graphics;
g) addition of SupportsFilterRetain property to improve Client filtering;
h) removal of ConditionSubClassId and ConditionSubClassNames from the conditiontype definition since they are now defined in BaseEventType.

IEC 62541-24:2026 specifies an OPC UA information model to expose information, at what dates and times specific actions are executed by the OPC UA Server. Those schedules can optionally also be manipulated via the information model.
The schedule defines on which dates they are active, and can also reference global calendars representing specific dates, for example public holidays. In addition, the schedule defines times and actions that will be executed at that time. The model defines writing Variables and calling Methods but can be extended to other actions as well.
The NamespaceUri for all NodeIds defined in this document is defined in Annex A.
