(Main)Expression of performance of fluorometric oxygen analyzers in liquid media (IEC 62703:2013)
Expression of performance of fluorometric oxygen analyzers in liquid media (IEC 62703:2013)
This International Standard is applicable to fluorometric oxygen analyzers used for the continuous determination of dissolved oxygen partial pressure or concentration. It applies to fluorometric oxygen analyzers suitable for use in water containing liquids, ultrapure waters, fresh or potable water, sea water or other aqueous solutions, industrial or municipal waste water from water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, estuaries) as well as for industrial process streams and process liquids. Whilst in principle fluorometric oxygen-analyzers are applicable in gaseous phases, the expression of performance in the gas-phase will not be subject of this standard. The sensor unit of a fluorometric oxygen analyzer being in contact with the media to be measured contains a luminophore in a polymer-membrane permeable for oxygen or within other oxygen permeable materials (or substrates). This standard specifies the terminology, definitions, requirements for statements by manufacturers and tests for fluorometric oxygen analyzers. This standard is in accordance with the general principles set out in IEC 60359 and IEC 60770 series. This standard is applicable to analyzers specified for permanent installation installation in any location (indoors or outdoors) utilizing an on-line measurement technique. Safety requirements are dealt with in IEC 61010-1. Standard range of analogue d.c. current signals used in process control systems are dealt with in IEC 60381-1. Specifications for values for the testing of influence quantities can be found in IEC 60654 series. Requirements for documentation to be supplied with instruments are dealt with in IEC 61187. Requirements for general principles concerning quantities, units and symbols are dealt with in ISO 80000-1:2009. The object of IEC 62703 is: - to specify the general aspects in the terminology and definitions related to the performance of fluorometric oxygen analyzers used for the continuous determination of dissolved oxygen partial pressure or concentration in liquid media; - to unify methods used in making and verifying statements on the functional performance of such analyzers; - to specify which tests should be performed in order to determine the functional performance and how such tests should be carried out; - to provide basic documents to support the application of standards of quality assurance within ISO 9001.

Izražanje zmogljivosti fluorometričnih analizatorjev kisika v tekočinah (IEC 62703:2013)
Ta mednarodni standard se uporablja za fluorometrične analizatorje kisika, ki se uporabljajo za neprekinjeno določanje delnega tlaka ali koncentracije raztopljenega kisika. Velja za fluorometrične analizatorje kisika, primerne za uporabo v tekočinah, ki vsebujejo vodo, ultra čistih vodah, sladki ali pitni vodi, morski vodi ali drugih vodnih raztopinah, industrijskih ali gospodinjskih odpadnih vodah iz vodnih teles (npr. jezera, reke, ustja) ter za industrijske procesne tokove in procesne tekočine. Čeprav se fluorometrični analizatorji kisika načeloma uporabljajo v plinastih fazah, izražanje delovanja v plinasti fazi ni predmet tega standarda. Senzorska enota fluorometričnega analizatorja kisika, ki je v stiku z medijem za merjenje, vsebuje luminofor v membrani iz polimera, ki je prepustna za kisik, ali v drugih za kisik prepustnih materialih (ali substratih). Ta standard določa terminologijo, definicije, zahteve za navedbe proizvajalcev in preskuse za fluorometrične analizatorje kisika. Ta standard je v skladu s splošnimi načeli iz skupine standardov IEC 60359 in IEC 60770. Ta standard se uporablja za analizatorje, ki so določeni za stalno namestitev na katerem koli mestu (znotraj ali zunaj) z uporabo merilne tehnike s povezavo. Varnostne zahteve so obravnavane v standardu IEC 61010-1. Standardni obseg signalov analognega enosmernega toka, ki se uporabljajo v sistemih za nadzor procesa, je obravnavan v standardu IEC 60381-1. Specifikacije za vrednosti za preskušanje vplivnih veličin so na voljo v skupini standardov IEC 60654. Zahteve za dokumentacijo, ki jo je treba priložiti instrumentom, so obravnavane v standardu IEC 61187. Zahteve za splošna načela glede veličin, enot in simbolov, so obravnavane v standardu ISO 80000-1:2009. Namen standarda IEC 62703 je: – določiti splošne vidike v terminologiji in definicijah v zvezi z delovanjem fluorometričnih analizatorjev kisika, ki se uporabljajo za neprekinjeno določanje delnega tlaka ali koncentracije kisika v tekočih medijih; – poenotiti metode, ki se uporabljajo pri ustvarjanju in preverjanju navedb o funkcijski zmogljivosti takšnih analizatorjev; – določiti, katere preskuse je treba opraviti, da se določi funkcijska zmogljivost, in kako jih je treba opraviti; – zagotoviti osnovne dokumente za podporo uporabe standardov za zagotavljanje kakovosti v sklopu standarda ISO 9001.

EXPRESSION OF PERFORMANCE OF FLUOROMETRIC
OXYGEN ANALYZERS IN LIQUID MEDIA
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.

EXPRESSION OF PERFORMANCE OF FLUOROMETRIC
OXYGEN ANALYZERS IN LIQUID MEDIA
1 Scope
This International Standard is applicable to fluorometric oxygen analyzers used for the
continuous determination of dissolved oxygen partial pressure or concentration. It applies to
fluorometric oxygen analyzers suitable for use in water containing liquids, ultrapure waters,
fresh or potable water, sea water or other aqueous solutions, industrial or municipal waste
water from water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, estuaries) as well as for industrial process
streams and process liquids. Whilst in principle fluorometric oxygen-analyzers are applicable
in gaseous phases, the expression of performance in the gas-phase will not be subject of this
standard.
The sensor unit of a fluorometric oxygen analyzer being in contact with the media to be
measured contains a luminophore in a polymer-membrane permeable for oxygen or within
other oxygen permeable materials (or substrates).
This standard specifies the terminology, definitions, requirements for statements by
manufacturers and tests for fluorometric oxygen analyzers.
This standard is in accordance with the general principles set out in IEC 60359 and
IEC 60770 series.
This standard is applicable to analyzers specified for permanent installation installation in any
location (indoors or outdoors) utilizing an on-line measurement technique.
Safety requirements are dealt with in IEC 61010-1.
Standard range of analogue d.c. current signals used in process control systems are dealt
with in IEC 60381-1.
Specifications for values for the testing of influence quantities can be found in IEC 60654
series.
Requirements for documentation to be supplied with instruments are dealt with in IEC 61187.
Requirements for general principles concerning quantities, units and symbols are dealt with in
ISO 80000-1:2009.
The object of IEC 62703 is:
– to specify the general aspects in the terminology and definitions related to the
performance of fluorometric oxygen analyzers used for the continuous determination of
dissolved oxygen partial pressure or concentration in liquid media;
– to unify methods used in making and verifying statements on the functional performance of
such analyzers;
– to specify which tests should be performed in order to determine the functional
performance and how such tests should be carried out;
– to provide basic documents to support the application of standards of quality assurance
within ISO 9001.

3 Terms, definitions, quantities and units
For the purposes of this document, the following terms, definitions, quantities and units apply.
NOTE Terms and definitions are taken partially from IEC 60359:2001and IEC 61207-1:2010.
3.1 Basic terms and definitions
3.1.1
measurand
quantity subjected to measurement, evaluated in the state assumed by the measured system
during the measurement itself
Note 1 to entry: The value assumed by a quantity subjected to measurement when it is not interacting with the
measuring instrument may be called unperturbed value of the quantity.
Note 2 to entry: The unperturbed value and its associated uncertainty can only be computed through a model of
the measured system and of the measurement interaction with the knowledge of the appropriate metrological
characteristics of the instrument that may be called instrumental load.
3.1.2
result of a measurement
set of values attributed to a measurand, including a value, the corresponding uncertainty and
the unit of measurement
Note 1 to entry: The mid-value of the interval is called the value (see 3.1.3) of the measurand and its half-width
the uncertainty (see 3.1.4).
Note 2 to entry: The measurement is related to the indication (see 3.1.5) given by the instrument and to the
values of correction obtained by calibration.
Note 3 to entry: The interval can be considered as representing the measurand provided that it is compatible with
all other measurements of the same measurand.
Note 4 to entry: The width of the interval, and hence the uncertainty, can only be given with a stated level of
confidence (see 3.1.4, NOTE 1).
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-300:2001, 311-01-01, modified – revision of the definition and the
notes]
3.1.3
measure-value
mid element of the set assigned to represent the measurand
---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
SIST EN 62703:2013
– 8 – 62703 IEC:2013
Note 1 to entry: The measure-value is no more representative of the measurand than any other element of the
set. It is singled out merely for the convenience of expressing the set in the format V ± U, where V is the mid
element and U the half-width of the set, rather than by its extremes. The qualifier "measure-" is used when deemed
necessary to avoid confusion with the reading-value or the indicated value.
3.1.4
uncertainty
uncertainty of measurement
parameter, associated with the result of a measurement, that characterizes the dispersion of
the values that could reasonably be attributed to the measurand
Note 1 to entry: The parameter can be, for example, a standard deviation (or a given multiple of it), or a half-width
of an interval having a stated level of confidence.
Note 2 to entry: Uncertainty of measurement comprises, in general, many components. Some of these
components can be evaluated from the statistical distribution of the results of a series of measurements and can be
characterized by experimental standard deviations. The other components, which can also be characterized by
standard deviations, are evaluated from the assumed probability distributions based on experience or other
information.
Note 3 to entry: It is understood that the result of the measurement is the best estimate of the value of the
measurand, and that all components of uncertainty, including those arising from systematic effects, such as
components associated with corrections and reference standards, contribute to the dispersion.
Note 4 to entry: The definition and notes 1 and 2 are from JCGM 100:2008 Clause 2.2.3 The option used in this
standard is to express the uncertainty as the half-width of an interval with the GUM procedures with a coverage
factor of 2. This choice corresponds to the practice now adopted by many national standards laboratories. With the
normal distribution a coverage factor of 2 corresponds to a level of confidence of 95 %. Otherwise statistical
elaborations are necessary to establish the correspondence between the coverage factor and the level of
confidence. As the data for such elaborations are not always available, it is deemed preferable to state the
coverage factor. This interval can be "reasonably" assigned to describe the measurand, in the sense of the GUM
definition, as in most usual cases it ensures compatibility with all other results of measurements of the same
measurand assigned in the same way at a sufficiently high confidence level.
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-300:2001, 311-01-02, modified – deletion of the existing Note 1 and
addition of two new notes]
3.1.5
indication
reading-value
output signal of the instrument
Note 1 to entry: The indicated value can be derived from the indication by means of the calibration curve.
Note 2 to entry: For a material measure, the indication is its nominal or stated value.
Note 3 to entry: The indication depends on the output format of the instrument:
– for analogue outputs it is a number tied to the appropriate unit of the display;
– for digital outputs it is the displayed digitized number;
– for code outputs it is the identification of the code pattern.
Note 4 to entry: For analogue outputs meant to be read by a human observer (as in the index-on-scale
instruments) the unit of output is the unit of scale numbering; for analogue outputs meant to be read by another
instrument (as in calibrated transducers) the unit of output is the unit of measurement of the quantity supporting the
output signal.
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-300:2001, 311-01-01, modified – modification of the definition and
addition of new notes]
3.1.6
calibration
set of operations which establishes the relationship which exists, under specified conditions,
between the indication and the result of a measurement
---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
SIST EN 62703:2013
62703 IEC:2013 – 9 –
Note 1 to entry: Calibrations are performed under well-defined operating conditions for the instrument. The
calibration diagram representing its result is not valid if the instrument is operated under conditions outside the
range used for the calibration.
Note 2 to entry: The relationship between the indications and the results of measurement can be expressed, in
principle, by a calibration diagram.
[SOURCE: IEC 60050-300:2001, 311-01-09, modified – modification of Note 1]
3.1.7
calibration diagram
portion of the co-ordinate plane, defined by the axis of indication and the axis of results of
measurement, which represents the response of the instrument to differing values of the
measurand

3.1.8
calibration curve
curve which gives the relationship between the indication and the value of the measurand
Note 1 to entry: When the calibration curve is a straight line passing through zero, it is convenient to refer to the
slope which is known as the instrument constant.
Note 2 to entry: The calibration curve is the curve bisecting the width of the calibration diagram parallel to the
axis of results of measurement, thus joining the points representing the values of the measurand.

3.1.9
indicated value
value given by an indicating instrument on the basis of its calibration curve
Note 1 to entry: The indicated value is the measure-value of the measurand when the instrument is used in a
direct measurement under all the operating conditions for which the calibration diagram is valid.

3.1.10
conventional value measure
value of a standard used in a calibration operation and known with uncertainty negligible with
respect to the uncertainty of the instrument to be calibrated
Note 1 to entry: This definition is adapted to the object of this standard from the definition of "convention
