23、ance31 Page3 EN60359:200260359 IEC:2001 4 INTRODUCTION With the appearance of the interorganizational Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM) that embodied the suggestions of CIPM 1Recommendation CI-1981, it became clear that the classical approach to the precision and accuracy o
24、f measurement in terms of true value and error is being superseded by the approach in terms of uncertainty. The intrinsic pitfalls of the concept of true value (hence of error) had indeed led the operative measurement world to rely increasingly on the concept of uncertainty, notwithstanding that the
25、 main body of standards concerning the performance of measuring instruments was still written in terms of the traditional approach. The widening gap between the best practice in metrology and the wording of the standards prompted the normative organizations to invite their Technical Committees to up
26、date these publications. This new edition of the International Standard IEC 60359 was prepared in order to bring it into agreement with the GUM. During the procedure for its approval the chapters on measurement of the new edition of the International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (IEV) were published,
27、 and the opportunity was taken to bring the standard into agreement with the terms used in the IEV. The main performance characteristics of an instrument are those related to the uncertainty of the results obtained by using the instrument. The GUM provides a general terminology and a computational f
28、ramework for combining uncertainties of different origin, but it substantially deals with the issue of evaluating uncertainty in the measurement of a quantity defined as a function of other measured quantities, and does not address the issue of evaluating instrumental uncertainty, i.e. the uncertain
29、ty of the results of the single direct measurements carried out by the instruments. The GUM treats it as a component of uncertainty of category B, known from information supplied by the manufacturer or calibrator of the instrument, in the form of an expanded uncertainty with a stated coverage factor
30、. It is therefore up to this standard to provide indications for expressing and evaluating instrumental uncertainty in a way consistent with the philosophy of the GUM. This means stating the requirements on performance of the instruments in terms of limits of uncertainty instead of limits of error,
31、which implies a careful distinction between the indication of the instrument and the set of values assigned to describe the measurand (see Annex A for the conceptual evolution from the notion of error to the notion of uncertainty). To this purpose, this standard systematically uses (in agreement wit
32、h the IEV) the notion of calibration diagram, which is also quite helpful in describing the interplay between intrinsic uncertainty, variations, and operating uncertainty. Distinctions of this kind are essential, by the way, for the new measuring systems, based on microprocessors with internal softw
33、are or using more than one input (multisensorial systems), that need to address the issue in general terms without restrictive hypotheses on the instrumental hardware. They also allow a wider choice of options in specifying performance characteristics. For many people, of course, the passage from ti
34、me-honored traditional terms and notions to the ones evolved by modern metrology will require some mental adjustment, which is altogether necessary, as current instrumentation has made giant steps from the times of index-on-scale instruments. However, no particular difficulty is expected in translat
35、ing into terms consistent with this standard the bulk of existing technical specifications, most of which are written in terms of “limits of error“, often with ambiguities about whether or not suggested corrections for influence quantities are included. When such ambiguities are removed, the old spe
36、cifications are easily harmonized to this standard by substituting the “limits of error“ with the “limits of instrumental uncertainty“ expounded in clause 5, provided the contextual indications (if any) on the means of evaluating these limits are adjusted to satisfy the definitions given in this sta

38、ations, 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 meas
39、uring chain which present electrical output signals. This standard applies to the specification of performance of instruments operating in steady- state conditions (see 3.1.15), usual in industrial applications. It is based on the methods expounded in GUM for expressing and evaluating the uncertaint
40、y 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). This standard does not address the propagation of uncertainty beyon
41、d the instrument (or the measuring equipment) whose performance is considered and which may undergo compliance testing. 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 hav
42、e been reserved for dependent IEC product standards pertaining to particular types of equipment which fall within the scope of this standard. For example: the selection of metrological characteristics and their ranges, and of influence quantities and their specified operating ranges, is reserved for
43、 IEC product standards. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

A word between brackets in the title
46、 of a definition is a qualifier that may be skipped if there is no danger of confusion with a similar term. When two terms may be used interchangeably with the same definition, these are separated by “or“. Terms in italics in a note are new terms defined by the context. Most definitions are taken or
47、 adapted, together with their notes, from Part 311 of IEC 60050-300 (International Electrotechnical Vocabulary IEV). As only terms pertaining to the “uncertainty approach“ are used, IEV notes stating that the term is used in this approach were omitted. Where such definitions are simultaneously drawn
48、 from the International Vocabulary of Basic and General Terms in Metrology (VIM), this has been indicated. In some cases, notes have been added for the purposes of this standard. 3.1 Basic definitions 3.1.1 measurand quantity subjected to measurement, evaluated in the state assumed by the measured s
49、ystem during the measurement itself NOTE 1 The value assumed by a quantity subjected to measurement when it is not interacting with the measuring instrument may be called unperturbed value of the quantity. NOTE 2 The unperturbed value and its associated uncertainty can only be computed through a model of the measured system and of the measurement interaction with the knowledge of the appropriate metrological characteristics of the instrument, that may be called instrumental load. 3.
