21、 to their requirements. It includes the terminology and definitions of the terms to be used in such statements. It describes the tests that are applicable to all types of electrochemical analyzers, which may be used to determine these performance characteristics by either the manufacturer or the use
22、r. This standard is applicable to electrochemical analyzers used for the determination of certain properties of (generally aqueous) solutions such as pH value, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen content, the concentration of specified ions and redox potential. Other standards in this series d
23、escribe those aspects that are particular to specific types of analyzer, for example IEC 60746-2. It is in accordance with the general principles set out in IEC 60359 and takes into account documents specifying methods for evaluating performance, IEC 60770 and IEC 61298. This standard is applicable
24、to analyzers specified for installation in any location and to analyzers having either flow-through or immersible type sensors. It is applicable to the complete analyzer when supplied by one manufacturer as an integral unit comprised of all mechanical, electrical and electronic portions. It also app
25、lies to sensor units alone and electronic units alone when supplied separately or by different manufacturers. For the purposes of this standard, any regulator for mains-supplied power or any non-mains power supply, provided with the analyzer or specified by the manufacturer, is considered part of th
26、e analyzer whether it is integral with the analyzer or housed separately. It does not apply to accessories used in conjunction with the analyzers, such as chart recorders or data acquisition systems. However, when multiple analyzers are combined and sold with a single electronic unit for measurement
27、s of several properties in parallel, that read-out unit is considered to be part of the analyzer. Similarly, e.m.f.-to-current or e.m.f.-to-pressure converters that are not an integral part of the analyzer are not included. Safety requirements are dealt with in IEC 61010. Standard ranges of analogue
28、 d.c. current and pneumatic signals used in process control systems are dealt within IEC 60381-1, and IEC 60382. Specifications for values of influence quantities for the testing of performance characteristics can be found in IEC 60654-1 and methods of testing in IEC 60068. Requirements for document
29、ation to be supplied with instruments are dealt with in some National Standards and also IEC 61187. General principles concerning quantities, units and symbols are dealt with in ISO 1000.

30、: General 1 Scope This standard is intended: to specify the terminology and definitions of terms related to the performance charac- teristics of electrochemical analyzers used for the continuous determination of certain aspects of (generally aqueous) solutions; to specify uniform methods to be used
31、in making statements on the performance characteristics of such analyzers; to specify general test procedures to determine and verify the performance characteristics of electrochemical analyzers, taking into account the differences of approach in IEC documents specifying test methods (IEC 60359, IEC
32、 60770, IEC 61298); to provide basic documents to support the application of standards of quality assurance: ISO 9001, ISO 9002 and ISO 9003. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

These definitions are based on those in IEC 60359. Additional definitions from IEC 6
37、0770 are included for performance characteristics appropriate to electrochemical analyzers. The definitions have, in some cases, been clarified and directed towards relevance to electrochemical analyzers. The reconciliation of the quantities used to define performance characteristics in this documen
38、t with those referred to in IEC 60359, IEC 60770 and IEC 61298 is discussed in clause 4. 3.1 electrochemical analyzer measuring instrument that provides an indication of a specific property of a medium by use of a sensor which responds to ions from electrolytes (or ions generated from reactions with
39、 non-electrolytes) in that medium NOTE The analyzer may comprise of separate parts, see below. 3.2 sensor that part of the electrochemical analyzer (which may be a separate unit) which is in contact with the medium in which the property is to be measured NOTE In general an electrical output related
40、to that property of the sample which is to be measured is derived from this part of the analyzer. Examples of electrochemical sensors are: pH, ion-sensitive and redox potentiometric cells, dissolved oxygen cells, conductance cells. 3.3 electronic unit device converting the electrical signal from the
41、 sensor to a defined, scaled, output signal 3.4 simulator device which provides well-defined electrical properties similar to a specific type of sensor NOTE It may therefore be used to determine the performance characteristics of the electronic unit alone. It must exhibit uncertainties that are negl
42、igible in comparison with the specifications of performance characteristics to be determined. 3.5 calibration solution solution of known value of the property being measured, used for periodic calibration and for various performance tests. NOTE 1 The value should be expressed in SI units compatible
43、with ISO 31. NOTE 2 For the purposes of this Standard, the value of this solution represents the conventional true value (see 3.8) against which the indicated value is compared. NOTE 3 The values of calibration solutions should be traceable to reference material according to international or nationa
44、l standards, or agreed upon by the manufacturer and the user, and the uncertainty of the conventional true values shall be stated. 3.6 test solution solution of approximately known value of the property being measured, which is stable in value over an extended period of time 3.7 true value value of
45、a quantity which is defined with no uncertainty. NOTE The true value of a quantity is an ideal concept and, in general, cannot be known exactly. Page6 EN607461:20033.8 conventional true value value approximating to the true value of a quantity such that, for the purpose for which that value is used,
46、 the difference between the two will be regarded as negligible NOTE 1 Since the “true value” cannot be known exactly, for the sake of simplicity and where no ambiguity exists, the term “true value” may be used where the term “conventional true value” is meant. NOTE 2 See 3.1.13 of IEC 60359. 3.9 per
47、formance characteristic one of the quantities assigned to an apparatus in order to define its performance by values, tolerances, ranges, etc. 3.10 influence quantity any quantity, which is not the subject of the measurement but which influences the indication of the measuring equipment NOTE Influenc
48、e quantities may interact in their effect on the measuring equipment. 3.11 variation difference between the values indicated by an analyzer for the same value of the property being measured when a single influence quantity assumes successively two different values 3.12 rated value value assigned to
49、a performance characteristic of the analyzer by the manufacturer NOTE See 3.3.8 of IEC 60359. 3.13 range domain between the upper and lower limits of the quantity under consideration NOTE 1 The term “range” is usually used with a modifier. It may apply to a performance characteristic or an influence quantity, etc. For example, the Rated Measuring Range is the set of values of the property to be measured, corresponding to the O
