24、s a means for checking that the deviations between values indicated by a measuring instrument and corresponding known values of a measured quantity are consistently smaller than the maximum allowable error defined in a standard, regulation or specification peculiar to the management of the measuring

25、 equipment. NOTE 2 The result of verification leads to a decision either to restore to service, or to perform adjustments, or to repair, or to downgrade, or to declare obsolete. A written trace of the verification performed is kept on the measuring instruments individual record. 3.2 maximum permissi

28、nely to ensure that measurements are being carried out correctly is called a check standard. 4 Frequency of verification The frequency of the checks depends on the requirements of the user, taking account of the manufacturers specifications. If the temperature measuring instrument is mounted on a ve

29、hicle which is subjected to an annual or periodic maintenance inspection in an agreed vehicle test station, then the verification of these measuring instruments shall be done at the same time. NOTE 1 Nevertheless it is recommended that a check be carried out every year by the manufacturer or worksho

30、ps which are authorized by him or authorized verification services, when the temperature recorders and thermometers have been used over this period. NOTE 2 It is recommended to have a systematic verification following a period of non-use exceeding the period adopted by the user or when an operating

31、incident or a deterioration is noted or supposed, or during an intervention such as the introduction of a new sensor, except when permitted by the manufacturer. 5 Method of verification of temperature measurement 5.1 General The method used is the measurement by direct comparison of the instrument u

32、nder test and the working standard thermometer. 5.2 Environmental conditions It shall be ascertained that the environmental conditions for the tests are compatible with the apparatus to be verified and with the measuring instruments used (disturbances caused by, for example welding unit, inverters,

33、high voltage cables). 5.3 Working standard Table 1 gives the maximum calibration uncertainty for the verification measurement range, with a one-year calibration interval.

35、elsius 5.5 Procedure 5.5.1 General A detailed procedure of the operating method shall be drawn up, indicating the operating sequence and complying with the verification operations according to EN 30012-1. 5.5.2 Preliminary operations If necessary: - cleaning of the thermometer or the temperature rec

36、order and the sensor(s); - verification of the display or recorder (self-test) and connector(s); - possible change of battery or its recharge; - verification of the electrical connections. Then: - stabilization of the temperature of the sensors (pay attention to the response time, temperature delay,

37、 heat radiation, etc.); - for recorders, verify the proper functioning of the clock or of the diagram recording system according to manufacturers specifications. 5.5.3 Verification measurement(s) The verification operation shall be conducted at a temperature within f5 “C of the temperature at which

38、the equipment is most frequently used, unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, without exceeding the nominal measuring range of the equipment. Climatic container or thermostatic bath as referred to in 5.4 shall be used when praticable. If the verification is conducted on site, suitable equip

39、ment for the verification proposed by the manufacturer, if any, shall be used; if not, an appropriate measurement method shall be applied to comply with the following requirements: - maximum thermal coupling between the sensors; - minimum drift of the measured temperature; - sufficient time for the

40、reading to become stable. 6 EN 13486:2001 (E) 5.6 Condition of acceptance This operation consists of comparing the results of measurements and calculating errors noted, taking into account the measurement uncertainty of the working standard thermometer presented in Table 1 to verify if these measure

41、ments comply with the relevant specification of limit of permissible error as given in the standards. This specification shall be at least class 2 of the standards on temperature recorders (EN 12830) and thermometers (EN 13485:2001) irrespective of the original class of the appliance. 6 Method of ve

42、rification of duration of temperature recordings 6.1 General The purpose of this verification is to ensure that the duration of recordings is within specification. 6.2 Verification of recording duration by making a test recording For this test the recorder may be set to its fastest chart speed or sh

43、ortest recording interval. The actual time for a test recording is measured with a suitable clock with a relative error 5 0,02 % and this is compared with the time measured on the recorder. 6.2.1 play if applicable. The recorder is put into operation and allowed to run for sufficient time to take up

44、 any mechanical 6.2.2 clock is started. The recorded temperature is then allowed to return to normal. A sudden and repeatable change is made to the recorded temperature and at the same time the NOTE The recorded temperature may be changed by any suitable means, such as immersing the sensor in ice an

45、d water or simulating a temperature change with special equipment. 6.2.3 specification. The recording is left to run for sufficient time to verify that the recording duration is within NOTE An estimate of the number of minutes needed is given by the following formula: 100 t e where t is the shortest

46、 measurable time interval in minutes on the recording; e is the maximum permissible relative error. 6.2.4 in 6.2.2. The procedure of 6.2.2 is repeated and the clock is stopped at the same point where it was started 6.2.5 6.2.4. The percentage error is given by the following formula: The recording du

47、ration is measured on the recorder between the points marked in steps 6.2.2 and where t, is the duration measured on clock; t, is the duration measured on recorder 7 EN 13486:2001 (E) Value measured by the working standard (A) - 6.3 Verification of recording duration by other means Value measured by

48、 the Difference equipment under test (BI B-A - - If the manufacturer of the recorder has provided a means of determining the percentage error of the recording duration by some special test facility or procedure, then this may be used instead of the method defined in 6.2. The manufacturers instructio

49、ns shall be followed, and shall be referred to in the verification report. 6.4 Conditions of acceptance of duration The relative error of recording duration shall be less than or equal to the maximum permissible relative error given in the standard EN 12830. 7 Expression of results The results shall be presented as shown in Table 3.
