Overview

EN IEC 60051-9:2021 (IEC 60051-9:2019) defines recommended test methods for direct acting indicating analogue electrical measuring instruments and their accessories. It is part of the IEC 60051 series and is intended to be read together with IEC 60051-1:2016 (general definitions and requirements). This fifth edition updates the previous standard by adding performance requirements for test equipment and updating references to applicable standards for test methods. It does not cover special‑purpose instruments or accessories already specified by separate IEC standards.

Key Topics

The standard provides guidance and recommended procedures covering:

  • Requirements for test equipment - performance and suitability for measuring instrument characteristics.
  • Intrinsic uncertainty - methods to determine instrument accuracy and variability.
  • Damping, overshoot and response time - procedures to assess dynamic behaviour of analogue pointers.
  • Overload tests and self‑heating - test approaches to verify thermal and overload performance.
  • Phase shift and distorted AC quantities - test methods for instruments exposed to non‑sinewave or phase‑shifted signals.
  • Environmental tests - methods for temperature, humidity, shock and vibration (referencing IEC 60068 series).
  • External field immunity - tests for external magnetic and electric fields and power‑frequency magnetic field immunity (referencing IEC 61000‑4‑8).
  • Electrical safety and EMC - guidance to align with IEC 61010‑1, IEC 61326 and related EMC/safety requirements.
  • Recurrent and nonconformity tests - recommended procedures for production testing and failure investigation.

Applications

EN IEC 60051-9:2021 is practically useful for:

  • Manufacturers of analogue ammeters, voltmeters, wattmeters and related accessories - to design compliant test regimes.
  • Calibration and test laboratories - to develop validated procedures for intrinsic uncertainty, damping and environmental tests.
  • Quality and compliance engineers - to verify instrument performance, support type testing and production checks.
  • Certification bodies and test houses - to harmonize test evidence for conformity assessment and market access.
  • R&D teams - to benchmark dynamic and environmental robustness of new analogue instrument designs.

Related Standards

This part is used alongside IEC 60051-1 and references normative standards such as:

  • IEC 60068-2-6 (vibration)
  • IEC 61000-4-8 (magnetic field immunity)
  • IEC 61010‑1 / IEC 61010‑2‑030 (safety)
  • IEC 61326-1 / IEC 61326-2-1 (EMC)

Keywords: EN IEC 60051-9:2021, analogue electrical measuring instruments, direct acting indicating, recommended test methods, intrinsic uncertainty, damping, EMC, calibration.

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
