Part 4: Evaluation report content
FOREWORD

The fEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization

comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to

promote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and

electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the !EC publishes International Standards.

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. The 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 the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees on

which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as

possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.

3) They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, technical

reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.

In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International

Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any

divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly

indicated in the latter.

International Standard IEC 1298-4 has been prepared by sub-committee 65B: Devices, of

IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement and control.
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
DIS Report on voting
65B/246/RVD
65B/230/DIS

Full information on the voting for the approval of this standard can be found in the report

on voting indicated in the above table.

IEC 1298 consists of the following parts, under the general title Process measurement and

control devices - General methods and procedures for evaluating performance:
- Part 1: General considerations
- Part 2: Tests under reference conditions
Part 3: Tests for the effects of influence quantities
- Part 4: Evaluation repo rt content

INTRODUCTION

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 utilized 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.
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.

PROCESS MEASUREMENT AND CONTROL DEVICES —
GENERAL METHODS AND PROCEDURES
FOR EVALUATING PERFORMANCE —
Part 4: Evaluation report content
1 Scope

This International Standard specifies general methods and procedures for conducting

tests, and reporting on the functional and performance characteristics of process measure-

ment and control devices. The methods and procedures specified in this standard are

applicable to any kind of test or to any type of process measurement and control device.

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 shall be used, together with any product specific standard specifying

special tests.

This part specifies the content of the written report on the evaluation or tests on a process

measurement or control device, and the results obtained.

It specifies the major items which should be included in the evaluation report, but it does

not specify the exact format in which the contents should be presented. (This is left to the

discretion of the test laboratory which prepares and issues the report.)
2 Normative reference

The following normative document contains provisions which, through reference in this

text, constitute provisions of this part of 1 EC 1298. At the time of publication, the edition

indicated was valid. All normative documents are subject to revision, and parties to agree-

ments based on this part of IEC 1298 are encouraged to investigate the possibility of

applying the most recent edition of the normative document indicated below. Members of

IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standard.

3 General considerations
3.1 Report coverage

One repo rt shall refer to one evaluation of a subject equipment. If a second evaluation is

made of the same equipment, then a separately numbered report shall be issued.
3.2 Report binding

Each copy of the report shall be bound into strong covers, so that the pages cannot

is

become separated. No particular method of binding together the pages of the repo rt

specified. This is left to the discretion of the test laboratory issuing the repo rt .

3.3 Page numbering

Each page of the report shall be identified with a unique, sequential page number. It is

rt as page 1, with subsequent
conventional to regard the first page of text in the repo
pages numbered sequentially.

Page numbers shall be shown in the format "Page 'x' of 'y'" , where 'x' is the specific page

number and 'y' is the number of the last page of the report. The report number should be

given also.

If a separate title page is placed at the front of the report, this is not usually included in

the page numbering sequence.
3.4 Draft and final reports

It is sometimes desirable and advantageous to issue a preliminary, draft version of an

for comment prior to the issue of a formal, final version of the report.

3.5 Abridged reports

At the discretion of the issuing authority, or the test laboratory, an abridged version of the

rt is issued, it
report may be issued, complementary to the full report. If an abridged repo

shall always include at least the introduction, major findings, and manufacturer's com-

ments, exactly as presented in the full report.
