IEC 61003-1:2004

Industrial-process control systems - Instruments with analogue inputs and two-or multi-state outputs - Part 1: Methods of evaluating performance

IEC 61003-1:2004 is applicable to pneumatic and electric industrial-process instruments using measured values that are continuous signals in accordance with IEC 60382, or IEC 60381-1. It is intended to specify uniform testing methods for performance evaluation of industrial-process instruments with analogue measured values and two- or multi-state outputs. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition issued in 1991 and constitutes a technical revision. It takes into account the common standardized basis specified in the IEC 61298 series. This bilingual version (2014-01) corresponds to the monolingual English version, published in 2004-01.

Systèmes de commande de processus industriels - Instruments avec entrées analogiques et sorties à deux ou plusieurs états - Partie 1: Méthodes d'évaluation des performances

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 provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with an IEC Publication.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61003-1 has been prepared by subcommittee 65B: Devices, of IEC
technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement and control.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition issued in 1991 and constitutes a
technical revision. It takes into account the common standardized basis specified in the IEC
61298 series. Any test method or procedure specified and described herein is referred to the
corresponding Clause of the IEC 61298 series. Any particular method or procedure not covered
by the IEC 61298 series is developed and specified in this standard in accordance with the
criteria stated in the IEC 61298 series, as far as they are applicable.

INTRODUCTION
The methods of evaluation specified in this part of IEC 61003 are intended for use by
manufacturers to determine the performance of their products and by users, or independent
testing establishments, to verify the manufacturer's performance specifications.
The test conditions in this standard, for example the range of ambient temperatures and power
supply, represent those, which commonly arise in use. Consequently, the values specified
herein shall be used where the manufacturer specifies no other values.
The tests specified in this standard are not necessarily sufficient for instruments specifically
designed for unusually arduous duties. Conversely, a restricted series of tests may be suitable
for instruments designed to perform within a more limited range of conditions.
It will be appreciated that the closest communication should be maintained between the
evaluating body and the manufacturer. Note shall be taken of the manufacturer's specifications
for the instrument, when the test programme is being decided, and the manufacturer should be
invited to comment on both the test programme and the results. His comments on the results
should be included in any report produced by the testing organisation.

1 Scope
This part of IEC 61003 is applicable to pneumatic and electric industrial-process instruments
using measured values that are continuous signals in accordance with IEC 60382, or IEC
60381-1. The other input value (i.e. the set point value) may be either a mechanical (position,
force, etc.) or a standard signal.
It should be noted that tests specified herein may be applied to instruments which have other
continuous measured values, provided that due allowance is made for such differences.
These instruments may be used as controllers or as switches for alarm and other similar
purposes.
Instruments with feedback are not covered by this standard.
Electronic security issues may impact only a few products covered by this document.
Consequently this document does not address such security issues.
This standard is intended to specify uniform testing methods for performance evaluation of
industrial-process instruments with analogue measured values and two- or multi-state outputs.
Considerations other than the performances are listed in Clause 10.
