Specifies methods for determining the performance of all electrical and pneumatic analogue chart recorders operating from a standardized signal which may be used in process control.

IEC 60873-1:2003 provides methods for determining the performance of all electrical and pneumatic analogue chart recorders operating from a standardized signal which may be used in process control. It is intended that continuous and dotted-line traces, multiple-pen and multiple-channel instruments should be covered. It specifies uniform methods of test for the evaluation of the performance of electrical and pneumatic analogue chart recorders operating from a standardized signal which may be used in process control.
