This part of IEC 61298 specifies general methods and procedures for conducting tests, and
reporting on the functional and performance characteristics of process measurement and
control devices. The methods and procedures specified in this standard are applicable to any
type of process measurement and control device. The tests are applicable to any such
devices characterized by their own specific input and output variables, and by the specific
relationship (transfer function) between the inputs and outputs, and include analogue and
digital devices. For devices that require special tests, this standard should be used, together
with any product specific standard specifying special tests.
This standard covers general principles which apply to the series.
