A common misconception: "If my new transmitter is 0.04% accurate, it will stay that way for 5 years." Part 4 testing often reveals that thermal cycling, diaphragm fatigue, or electronic component aging cause gradual decay. Responsible manufacturers use IEC 61298-4 to publish realistic drift specs.

To fully implement Part 2, it is often used in conjunction with other parts of the series:

Testing an instrument under fluctuating factory conditions makes it impossible to distinguish between a device's inherent design flaws and external disturbances. IEC 61298-2 resolves this by enforcing standard . These are tightly controlled laboratory environments where influence quantities are locked at nominal values.

Note: A device can be IEC 61298-tested (accurate) but not safe (IEC 61508). Conversely, a safety-certified transmitter can have poor accuracy—but that is usually unacceptable.

Form factors including pressure transmitters, temperature controllers, flowmeters, signal converters, and valve positioners. an output variable

The primary objective of IEC 61298-2 is to outline standardized test methods for any industrial automation component characterized by an input variable, an output variable, and a specific transfer function.

Here is the content breakdown of the series:

: Devices must undergo operational warm-ups to settle internal circuits.
