Industrial-process control systems - Recorders - Testing and performance evaluation
IEC 63206:2024 specifies the characterization, the classification (e.g.: analogue chart recorder, digital recorder, X-Y recorder, paperless recorder, event recorder, data logger, and data acquisition device, etc.) and performance evaluation methods of recorders. It covers type tests as well as routine tests. This document is applicable to recorder devices and recorder modules for control systems. IEC 63206 is intended for use by manufacturers to determine the performance of their products and by users or independent testing bodies to verify manufacturers’ performance specifications. IEC 63206 has fully covered IEC 60873-1 and IEC 60873-2 which are withdrawn.

IEC 63206:2024 spécifie la caractérisation, la classification (par exemple, enregistreur de courbes analogique, enregistreur numérique, enregistreur X-Y, enregistreur sans papier, enregistreur d'événements, enregistreur de données, dispositif d'acquisition de données, etc.) et les méthodes d'évaluation des performances des enregistreurs. Elle couvre les essais de type ainsi que les essais individuels de série. Le présent document s'applique aux dispositifs d'enregistrement et aux modules d'enregistrement des systèmes de commande. L'IEC 63206 est destinée à être utilisée par les fabricants pour déterminer les performances de leurs produits, et par les utilisateurs ou les organismes d'essai indépendants pour vérifier les spécifications de performances fournies par les fabricants. L'IEC 63206 couvre entièrement l'IEC 60873-1 et l'IEC 60873-2, qui ont été supprimées.

INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION

INDUSTRIAL-PROCESS CONTROL SYSTEMS – RECORDERS – TESTING
AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, emp
