IEC 60469:2013 combine the contents of IEC 60469-1 and IEC 60469-2. IEC 60469-1 dealt with terms and definitions for describing waveform parameters and IEC 60469-2 described the waveform measurement process. Other technical revisions include updating of terminology, errors correction, algorithms addition for computing values of pulse parameters, and addition of a newly-developed method for computing state levels. Changes to the definitions include adding new terms and definitions, deleting unused terms and definitions, expanding the list of deprecated terms, and updating and modifying existing definitions.

IEC 61557-14:2013 defines special requirements for test and measurement equipment used to determine the electrical safety of electrical equipment of machinery according to IEC 60204-1. IEC 61010 and the existing parts of series IEC 61557 do not cover all safety aspects of testing electrical equipment of machinery. IEC 61557-14 provides additional protection against electric shock for the testing person and bystanders during high-voltage-tests and in case of unintended use of the test equipment. It defines performance requirements for each measuring and testing function to ensure comparable results.

IEC 60688:2012 applies to transducers with electrical inputs and outputs for making measurements of a.c. or d.c. electrical quantities. This International Standard is intended to specify the terminology and definitions relating to transducers whose main application are in industry; to unify the test methods used in evaluating transducer performance; and to specify accuracy limits and output values for transducers. The output signal may be in the form of an analogue direct current, an analogue direct voltage or in digital form. In this case, that part of the transducer utilized for communication purposes will need to be compatible with the external system. This standard applies to measuring transducers used for converting electrical quantities such as current, voltage, active power, reactive power, power factor, phase angle, frequency, harmonics or total harmonic distortion, and apparent power to an output signal. This standard is not applicable for instrument transformers that comply with IEC 60044 series; transmitters for use in industrial process applications that comply with the IEC 60770 series; performance measuring and monitoring devices (PMD) that comply with IEC 61557-12.

IEC 61557-13:2011 defines special performance requirements for hand-held and hand-manipulated current clamps and sensors for measurement of leakage currents in electrical distribution systems up to 1 000 V a.c. and 1 500 V d.c., taking into account the influence of high external low-frequency magnetic fields and other influencing quantities. This standard does not apply to current clamps or sensors which are used in combination with devices for insulation fault location according to IEC 61557-9, unless it is specified by the manufacturer.

IEC 61557-11:2009 specifies the requirements for testing equipment applied to the testing of the effectiveness of residual current monitors (RCMs) of type A and type B, which are already installed in distribution systems. This test equipment can be used in any kind of network like a TN, TT or IT system. The test equipment may also be used for testing directionally discriminating RCMs in IT-Systems.This part is to be used in conjunction with IEC 61557-1:2007, Part 1: General requirements.

Specifies requirements for combined performance measuring and monitoring devices that measure and monitor the electrical parameters within electrical distribution systems. These requirements also define the performance, in single and three-phase a.c. or d.c. systems having rated voltages up to 1 000 V a.c. or up to 1 500 V d.c. These devices are fixed installed or portable. They are intended to be used indoors and/or outdoors. This standard is not applicable for: - electricity metering equipment that complies with IEC 62053-21, IEC 62053-22 and IEC 62053-23. Nevertheless, uncertainties defined in this standard for active and reactive energy measurement are derived from those defined in the IEC 62053 standards series. - simple remote relays or simple monitoring relays. This standard is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC 61557-1 (unless otherwise specified), which specifies the general requirements for measuring and monitoring equipment, as required in IEC 60364-6. The standard does not include the measurement and monitoring of electrical parameters defined in Parts 2 to 9 of IEC 61557 or in IEC 62020. Combined performance measuring and monitoring devices (PMD), as defined in this standard, give additional safety information, which aids the verification of the installation and enhances the performance of the distribution systems. For instance, those devices help to check if the level of harmonics is still compliant with the wiring systems as required in IEC 60364-5-52. The combined performance measuring and monitoring devices (PMD) for electrical parameters described in this standard are used for general industrial and commercial applications. A PMD-A is a specific PMD complying with requirements of IEC 61000-4-30 class A, which may be used in 'power quality assessment' applications.

This part of IEC 61557 specifies the requirements applicable to equipment for measuring the loop impedance between a phase conductor and the protective conductor or between a phase conductor and neutral or between two phase conductors by using the voltage drop when the circuit under test is loaded. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1997. This edition constitutes a technical revision. The following changes were made with respect to the previous edition: a) definitions complemented; b) revision of some requirements; c) addition of information on operating instructions; d) addition of new influence quantities E9 and E10.

This part of IEC 61557 specifies the requirements for measuring equipment applied to testing the phase sequence in three-phase distribution systems. Indication of the phase sequence may be mechanical, visual and/or audible. This part of IEC 61557 does not apply to ancillary measuring equipment for other quantities, for example voltage testers comprising an additional phase sequence indicator. It does not apply to monitoring relays. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1997. This edition constitutes a minor revision.

Specifies performance characteristics and calibration methods for digital data acquisition systems and relevant software to ensure that all measurement systems relying on DAQ devices meet a common standard. This standard covers: - the minimum specifications that the DAQ device manufacturer must provide to describe the performance of the analogue-to-digital module (ADM) of the DAQ device; - standard test strategies to verify the minimum set of specifications; - the minimum calibration information required by the ADM that is stored on the DAQ device; - the minimum calibration software requirements for external and self-calibration of the ADM of the DAQ device. This standard deals with low frequency signal conversion, e.g. applications such as plant control, vibration measurement, vibro-diagnostics, acoustics, ultrasonic measurements, temperature measurements, pressure measurements, measurement in power electronics, etc.

Applies to the specification of performance, with primary reference to industrial applications, of the following kinds of electrical and electronic equipment: - indicating and recording instruments which measure electrical quantities; - material measures which supply electrical quantities; - instruments which measure non-electrical quantities using electrical means, for all parts of the measuring chain which present electrical output signals. It is based on the methods expounded in GUM for expressing and evaluating the uncertainty of measurement, and refers to GUM for the statistical procedures to be used in determining the intervals assigned to represent uncertainty (including the way to account for non-negligible uncertainties in the traceability chain). The object is to provide methods for ensuring uniformity in the specification and determination of uncertainties of equipment within its scope. All other necessary requirements have been reserved for dependent IEC product standards pertaining to particular types of equipment which fall within the scope of this standard.
