IEC 60751 Calibration of Industrial Temperature Sensors for Automation Systems Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

The calibration of industrial temperature sensors is a critical aspect of ensuring the reliability and accuracy of automation systems in various industries, including manufacturing, energy, and transportation. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) has established standard IEC 60751, which provides guidelines for the calibration of thermometers and pyrometers. This article will provide an overview of the relevant standards, legal framework, and requirements related to IEC 60751 calibration.

Relevant Standards

IEC 60751 is a widely accepted international standard that outlines the requirements for the calibration of thermometers and pyrometers used in industrial temperature measurement applications. The standard covers both dry-block and immersion calibrations, as well as the use of reference points and uncertainty evaluation.

In addition to IEC 60751, other relevant standards include:

  • ISO 751 (Temperature-measuring instruments Part 1: General requirements)
  • ASTM E2356-12 (Standard Guide for Calibration and Verification of Temperature-Sensing Devices)
  • EN 60751 (IEC 60751 modified for European market requirements)
  • Legal and Regulatory Framework

    The calibration of industrial temperature sensors is regulated by various laws and regulations, including:

  • EU Directive 2014/30/EU on the harmonization of legal metrology
  • US OSHA standards (29 CFR Part 1910.119)
  • ISO 9001:2015 quality management system standard
  • International and National Standards

    IEC 60751 is an international standard, but its implementation is influenced by national regulations and laws. In Europe, for example, the EN 60751 standard is used in conjunction with EU directives and regulations.

    Standard Development Organizations and Their Role

    Standard development organizations (SDOs) play a crucial role in establishing and maintaining standards like IEC 60751. These organizations include:

  • International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
