SAFETY OF ANALYSER HOUSES
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 61285 has been prepared by subcommittee 65D: Analysing
equipment, of IEC technical committee 65: Industrial-process measurement and control.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1994. This edition
constitutes a technical revision.
The main changes with respect to the previous edition are listed below:
a) incorporation of previously issued corrigendum;
b) minor updates to several sections and references
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
65D/107/FDIS 65D/110/RVD

voting indicated in the above table.

This publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The committee has decided that the contents of this publication will remain unchanged until
the maintenance result 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;
• withdrawn;
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

INTRODUCTION
Process analysers measure the characteristics of a process stream continuously and
automatically. The process sample is introduced automatically and the system is designed for
unattended operation and minimal maintenance.
This document is designed to set forth minimum safety requirements for typical analyser
houses (AHs). It shall be superseded in all cases by national, local, or corporate
requirements, which may be more stringent.
The measured output is transmitted continuously for process control, operator action or
documentation. Process analysers are used for
– environmental analysis;
– personnel protection;
– equipment protection;
– quality measurement/control;
– process control (plant optimization);
– energy conservation.
In the simplest case, the analyser sensor is mounted directly in the material to be measured,
and there is no need to extract a sample. In other cases, a sample is extracted from the main
stream and transported to the analyser. The system may include many functiona
