Ensuring the device can safely handle electrical stress.
But Vendor B's data sheet includes statements like: "Tested according to IEC 61298-1 through -5. Reference accuracy: ±0.1% at 20°C. Additional temperature error: ±0.02% per 10°C. Long-term drift: 0.1% per year." Vendor A simply says "high accuracy." iec 612982
IEC 61298 provides several key features and benefits, including: Ensuring the device can safely handle electrical stress
IEC 61298-2:2008 establishes international methods for testing the performance and functional characteristics of process control devices under reference conditions. It covers accuracy, dynamic behavior, and electrical/pneumatic characteristics, with a new edition, prEN IEC 61298-2:2024, in development. Further details are available from the IEC Webstore . IEC 61298-2:2008 Additional temperature error: ±0
The standard defines how to conduct tests to verify claims made in product data sheets, ensuring a "level playing field" for comparing devices from different manufacturers.
Evaluates how external factors like temperature, vibration, and humidity affect performance.
