Disclosure to Promote the Right To Information

Whereas the Parliament of India has set out to provide a practical regime of right to
information for citizens to secure access to information under the control of public authorities,
in order to promote transparency and accountability in the working of every public authority,
and whereas the attached publication of the Bureau of Indian Standards is of particular interest
to the public, particularly disadvantaged communities and those engaged in the pursuit of
education and knowledge, the attached public safety standard is made available to promote the
timely dissemination of this information in an accurate manner to the public.

FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( Pa .rt 1 ) was adopted -by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Industrial Process Measurement and Control Sectional Committee had been approved by the
Electrotechnical
Division Council.
The methods of evaluation specified in this standard are intended for use by manufacturers
determine the performance of their products and by users or independent testing establishments
verify manufacturers performance specifications.
This standard ( Part 1 ) is intended to specify uniform methods of test
performance of transmitters with pneumatic or electric output signals.
Part 2 of this standard
transmitters.

provides

guidance

for installation,

inspection

for

the

and routine

evaluation

to
to

of the

testing of these

The test conditions in this standard, for example, the range of ambient temperatures
and power
supply, represent those which commonly arise in use. Consequently, the values specified herein shall be
used where no other values are specified by the manufacturer.
The tests specified in this standard are not necessarily sufficient for instruments specifically designed
for unusually arduous duties; conversely,
a restricted series of tests may be suitable for instruments
designed to perform within a more limited range of conditions.
It will be appreciated that the closest communication should be maintained between the manufacturer
and the evaluating body while deciding the test programmes. Note shall be taken of the manufacturers
specifications for the instrument and the manufacturer should be invited to comment on both the test
programmes and the results.
When a full evaluation in accordance with this standard is not required those tests which are required
shall be performed and the results reported in accordance with those parts of the standard which are
relevant ( see Part 2 ) of this standard.
While preparing this standard, assistance was derived from IEC Publication
770 : 1984 L Methods of
evaluating the performance of transmitters for use in industrial-process
control systems , issued by the
International Electrotechnical
Commission ( IEC).
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement
of this standard is complied with, the
final value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in
accordance
with IS 2 : 1960 Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised). The number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in
this standard.
