BS EN IEC 61987-1:2024

This standard BS EN IEC 61987-1:2024 Industrial- process measurement and control. Data structures and elements in process equipment catalogues is classified in these ICS categories:

• 35.240.50 IT applications in industry
• 25.040.40 Industrial process measurement and control

IEC 61987-1:2024 is available as IEC 61987-1:2024 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.

IEC 61987-1:2024 defines a generic structure in which product features of industrial process measurement devices shall be arranged, in order to facilitate the understanding of product descriptions when they are transferred from one party to another. It applies to the production of catalogues supplied by the manufacturer of such devices and helps the user to formulate their requirements. This document will also serve as a reference document for all future standards which are concerned with process measuring equipment. In addition, this document also provides a basic structure for the production of further standards listing the properties of process control equipment, for example, for actuators and infrastructure devices. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) Addition of a subclause “Digital communication” in Clause 5, in order to allow a more comprehensive description of the properties of such an interface; b) Alignment of clause headings, as described in the introduction, to correspond with those of the IEC CDD.
