Industrial-Process control systems - Instruments with analogue inputs and two- or multi-position outputs - Part 2: Guidance for inspection and routine testing (IEC 61003-2:2016)
IEC 61003-2:2016 gives guidelines for inspection and routine testing of electrical and pneumatic instruments with two- or multi-position output, for instance, for acceptance tests or after repair. It is applicable to electrical and pneumatic industrial-process instruments, using measured values that are continuous signals. The set point value may be either a mechanical (position, force, etc.) or a standard signal. These instruments may be used as controllers or as switches for alarms and other similar purposes. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2009. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
- use of the term "two- or multi-position output" instead of "two- or multi-state instrument" (see Scope);
- use of the term "differential gap" instead of "switching differential" (see Table 1 No 2);
- use of the term "dielectric strength" instead of "isolation test" (see Table 1 No 5).

Overview
SIST EN 61003-2:2017 is a European standard under the umbrella of IEC standards, developed by the CLC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization). This technical specification provides guidance for the inspection and routine testing of electrical and pneumatic instruments used in industrial-process control systems. These instruments possess analogue inputs and two- or multi-position outputs, commonly employed as controllers or switches in processes such as alarms or mechanical positioning.
This standard is essential for ensuring instrument reliability, performance consistency, and safety during acceptance tests or post-repair inspections. It applies primarily to devices that process continuous signals and have set points adjustable mechanically or via standard signals.
This edition, published in 2016, replaces the 2009 version and aligns terminologies with current industry use, such as "two- or multi-position output" and "dielectric strength." SIST EN 61003-2:2017 should be applied in conjunction with related standards IEC 61003-1:2016 and IEC 61298 series.
Key Topics
Scope and Application
The standard addresses instruments with analogue input signals and outputs that switch between discrete positions (two or more). It applies to both electrical and pneumatic devices in industrial processes handling continuous measurements. The instruments can function as controllers or alert mechanisms.Inspection and Testing Guidelines
EN 61003-2 outlines detailed performance tests to be conducted either on a routine basis or upon acceptance. These tests cover:- Inaccuracy of switching points
- Inaccuracy of the differential gap (formerly called switching differential)
- Set point adjustability and indication
- Dielectric strength (replacing the term "isolation test")
- Characteristics and switching ranges of multi-position outputs
- Effects of supply voltage and pressure variations
Sampling and Test Conditions
Tests can be performed on each instrument individually or on samples from production batches, as agreed upon by manufacturer and user. The sequence of testing aims to avoid mutual interference, maintaining the integrity of results.Test Reporting
Comprehensive documentation of test procedures, conditions, and outcomes must be maintained. This facilitates transparency between manufacturers and end-users in confirming conformity and operational readiness.
Applications
SIST EN 61003-2:2017 is critically valuable for industries utilizing industrial-process control systems, such as:
- Manufacturing plants requiring strict control over process parameters through robust instrumentation.
- Chemical processing where precise switching and monitoring devices provide safety alarms and process regulation.
- Energy production and utilities, ensuring instruments controlling mechanical forces or pressures operate reliably under varying conditions.
- Automotive and aerospace industries, where pneumatic and electrical instruments are tested to confirm compliance with performance criteria.
Following this standard helps operators guarantee continuous, safe, and effective operation of equipment, minimizing downtime and reducing maintenance risks.
Related Standards
SIST EN 61003-2:2017 is part of the IEC 61003 series and references several foundational documents essential for comprehensive compliance and evaluation:
- IEC 61003-1:2016 – Methods for evaluating the performance of instruments with analogue inputs and discrete outputs.
- IEC 61298 Series – General methods and procedures for evaluating process measurement and control devices, consisting of:
- Part 2: Tests under reference conditions (IEC 61298-2:2008)
- Part 3: Tests for the effects of influence quantities (IEC 61298-3:2008)
- Part 4: Evaluation report content (IEC 61298-4)
Together, these standards establish a robust framework for testing, inspecting, and ensuring the performance of industrial-process control instruments.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not respons
