IEC 60534-7:2010

Industrial-process control valves - Part 7: Control valve data sheet

IEC 60534-7:2010 provides a list of requirements that are necessary for the procurement of the majority of control valves for process systems. The list is arranged to assist the specification writer with a standardized presentation of data and also to be a basis for use with data processing facilities. A detailed set of instructions is included in order to ensure that the abbreviated terms are fully understood and that consistent data entries are always made. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1989. This edition constitutes a technical revision The main changes with respect to the previous edition are:
- the standard has been updated to reflect digital electronic accessories and fieldbus protocols;
- to aid clarification, the explanation of terms and definitions contains the same subheading as the information required in the control valve data sheet;
- the column numbering system has been replaced with descriptive title headings.

Vannes de régulation des processus industriels - Partie 7: Grille de définition de vanne de régulation

La CEI 60534-7:2010 fournit une liste d'exigences généralement nécessaires à la définition de la majorité des vannes de régulation de processus. Il n'a pas été envisagé d'établir une liste exhaustive de toutes les exigences possibles pour tout processus concevable. La liste est disposée de manière à aider le rédacteur de la spécification par une présentation normalisée des données et aussi pour établir une base utilisable avec les outils de traitement de données. Un jeu détaillé d'instructions est inclus de manière à assurer la bonne compréhension des termes abrégés et de manière systématique, la cohérence des données enregistrées. Cette deuxième édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 1989. La présente édition constitue une révision technique. Les modifications principales par rapport à l'édition précédente, sont les suivantes:
- la norme a été mise à jour pour prendre en compte l'utilisation des accessoires électroniques numériques et des protocoles des bus de terrain;
- des explications des termes et définitions contenant le même sous-titre que celui de l'information requise dans la Grille de définition de vanne de régulation ont été données pour clarification;
- le système de numérotation des colonnes a été remplacé par des entêtes de titres descriptifs.

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, 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 60534-7 has been prepared by subcommittee 65B: Devices and
process analysis, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement, control and
automation.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1989. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
· the standard has been updated to reflect digital electronic accessories and fieldbus
protocols;
· to aid clarification, the explanation of terms and definitions contains the same
subheading as the information required in the control valve data sheet;
· the column numbering system has been replaced with descriptive title headings.

This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts of the IEC 60534 series, published under the general title Industrial-process
control valves, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,

INTRODUCTION
The writing of control valve specifications is an extremely important segment of the complete
design, purchase and manufacturing of any process control system.
If the wrong control valve is specified, due to either incomplete or erroneous specification, the
replacement of that valve becomes costly to both the user and the control valve manufacturer
and often results in undue project delay. Therefore, many of the important control valve users
and contractors have developed their own standard data sheets to eliminate as much
misunderstanding as possible regarding the valve specifications.
To avoid confusion between valve manufacturers, users and contractors, standardisation of
the datasheet is required.
The purpose of a standard control valve data sheet is to promote uniformity, both in content
and form. General use of this form by contractors, users and manufacturers offers many
advantages. For example:
· assisting in preparation of a complete specification by listing and providing space for
all principal descriptive options;
· promoting uniform terminology;
· facilitates quoting, purchasing, receiving, accounting and ordering procedures by
uniform display of information;
· providing a useful permanent record and information for checking;
· improving efficiency from initial concept to the final installation.
