Foreword
The International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML) is a worldwide, intergovernmental
organization whose primary aim is to harmonize the regulations and metrological controls applied by
the national metrological services, or related organizations, of its Member States. The main categories
of OIML publications are:

International Recommendations (OIML R), which are model regulations that establish the
metrological characteristics required of certain measuring instruments and which specify
methods and equipment for checking their conformity. OIML Member States shall implement
these Recommendations to the greatest possible extent;

International Documents (OIML D), which are informative in nature and which are
intended to harmonize and improve work in the field of legal metrology;

International Guides (OIML G), which are also informative in nature and which are
intended to give guidelines for the application of certain requirements to legal metrology; and

International Basic Publications (OIML B), which define the operating rules of the various
OIML structures and systems.

OIML Draft Recommendations, Documents and Guides are developed by Project Groups linked to
Technical Committees or Subcommittees which comprise representatives from OIML Member States.
Certain international and regional institutions also participate on a consultation basis. Cooperative
agreements have been established between the OIML and certain institutions, such as ISO and the
IEC, with the objective of avoiding contradictory requirements. Consequently, manufacturers and
users of measuring instruments, test laboratories, etc. may simultaneously apply OIML publications
and those of other institutions.
International Recommendations, Documents, Guides and Basic Publications are published in English
(E) and translated into French (F) and are subject to periodic revision.
Additionally, the OIML publishes or participates in the publication of Vocabularies (OIML V) and
periodically commissions legal metrology experts to write Expert Reports (OIML E). Expert
Reports are intended to provide information and advice, and are written solely from the viewpoint of
their author, without the involvement of a Technical Committee or Subcommittee, nor that of the
CIML. Thus, they do not necessarily represent the views of the OIML.
The first (2006) and second (2008) editions of this publication - reference OIML E 5 (E) - were
written by Mr. Gep H. Engler. The third (2010) and this fourth (2012) edition were written by Mr.
George M. Teunisse, Department of Legal Affairs, Verispect B.V., Department V-JZ, PO Box 654,
NL-2600 AR Delft, The Netherlands. Mr. Teunisse is the OIML contact person for technical work for
The Netherlands and the secretary of OIML TC 5/SC 1 Environmental conditions. The present edition
supersedes the previous edition dated 2010.
OIML Publications may be downloaded from the OIML web site in the form of PDF files. Additional

Overview of the present status of the Standards

referred to in OIML D 11:2004
General requirements for electronic measuring instruments
George M. Teunisse, Verispect B.V., The Netherlands
OIML TC 5/SC 1 Secretariat

Introduction

Following a suggestion by participants in the meeting of OIML TC 5/SC 1 Electronic

instruments held on 2122 October 2002 in Delft, the author of this report published - in his
capacity of secretary of OIML TC 5/SC 1 - an overview of the status at that time of the ISO
and IEC Standards referred to in OIML D 11 in OIML Bulletin Volume XLVI - Number 4 October 2005.
In this way, OIML TC/SC members were informed of changes without having to wait for an
official revision of OIML D 11. Such updated information can assist OIML TCs and SCs in
drawing up draft OIML Recommendations, to comply with the statement at the beginning of
Annex A of OIML D 11: All normative documents are subject to revision, and the users of
this Document are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent
editions of the normative documents indicated below. Members of IEC and ISO maintain
registers of currently valid International Standards.
Since the initial Bulletin article was published, more standards referred to in OIML D 11 have
been revised or replaced. Therefore, the secretariat of TC 5/SC 1 carried out an updated
overview of changes in the standards referred to. Initially, this was intended to again be
published in the OIML Bulletin but it was observed that this would lead to a relatively long
article. Therefore, in a discussion with the BIML Director on 22 September 2006, it was
concluded that publication as an Expert Report on the OIML web site would be more
appropriate. Another advantage of such a publication is that it can easily be updated at any
moment. This resulted in the publication of Expert Report E 5:2006. Since updating of
standards is a continuous process, it was deemed appropriate in 2008 and subsequently in
2009 to review this publication and new editions were published in 2008 and 2010. Again in
2012 a review was carried out, resulting in this fourth, revised edition.
OIML E 5 therefore replaces the publication in OIML Bulletin Volume XLVI - Number 4 October 2005 and the present edition replaces the previous three editions dated 2006, 2008
and 2010. It is the intention of the author to update this publication as regularly as possible;
new editions will be announced in the OIML Bulletin and on the OIML web site.
It should, however, be stressed that the information given in this report is merely an overview
of the current situation, and - due to the fact that it has been approved neither by TC 5/SC 1
(or even discussed in this subcommittee), nor by the CIML - it is published here for
informational purposes only and does not have the status of a formal addendum to OIML
D 11.

OIML E 5:2012 (E)

The new versions of the standards have not been reviewed in depth for their contents, so it is
up to the TCs and SCs to review them and decide whether the latest version(s) apply to their
draft OIML Recommendations and Documents.
The information in the tables below is based on the following web sites (situation as at
8 December 2009):
IEC Standards: http://www.iec.ch/searchpub/cur_fut.htm
ISO Standards: http://www.iso.org/iso/iso_catalogue.htm
In most cases, the text is an exact copy of the text supplied by ISO and IEC on their web sites.
The quoted corrigenda to the IEC Standards and previews of all IEC standards may be
downloaded free of charge from the IEC web site at: http://www.iec.ch/searchpub/cur_fut.htm
Alternatively, hyperlinks on the following pages of the present publication may be used to
view the latest corrigenda, etc.
The contents of the columns "New description of the standard / remarks" and "Major
technical changes" are, as far as available, based on the information on the web sites of ISO
and IEC and/or published in the relevant new standard. This applies for both the English and
the French texts; so the texts in both these languages have not been compared by the author.

International vocabulary of metrology -- Basic and general concepts and
associated terms (VIM)
ISO/IEC Guide 99 and the identical OIML V 2-200 provide a set of definitions
and associated terms, in English and French, for a system of basic and general
concepts used in metrology, together with concept diagrams to demonstrate their
relations. Additional information is given in the form of examples and notes
under many definitions.
This Vocabulary is meant to be a common reference for scientists and engineers,
as well as teachers and practitioners, involved in planning or performing
measurements, irrespective of the level of measurement uncertainty and
irrespective of the field of application. It is also meant to be a reference for
governmental and inter-governmental bodies, trade associations, accreditation
bodies, regulators and professional societies.

Tests Ab and Ad do not deviate essentially from earlier issues. Test Ae has been
added primarily for testing equipment that requires being operational throughout
the test, including the conditioning periods.
The object of the cold test is limited to the determination of the ability of
components, equipment or other articles to be used, transported or stored at low
temperature.
Cold tests covered by this Standard do not enable the ability of specimens to

withstand or operate during the temperature variations to be assessed. In this
case, it would be necessary to use IEC 60068-2-14.
The cold tests are subdivided as follows: - Cold tests for non heat-dissipating
specimens * with gradual change of temperature, Ab; - Cold test for heatdissipating specimens * with gradual change of temperature, Ad, * with gradual
change of temperature, specimen powered throughout, Ae.
The procedures given in this Standard are normally intended for specimens that
achieve temperature stability during the performance of the test procedure.
Temperature chamber(s) are constructed and verified in accordance with
specifications IEC 60068-3-5 and IEC 60068-3-7.
Further guidance for dry heat and cold tests can be found in IEC 60068-3-1 and
general guidance in IEC 60068-1.
Environmental testing - Part 2-2: Tests - Test B: Dry heat
This part of IEC 60068 deals with dry heat tests applicable both to heatdissipating and non heat-dissipating specimens. For non heat-dissipating
specimens, Tests Bb and Bd do not deviate essentially from earlier issues.
The object of the dry heat test is limited to the determination of the ability of
components, equipment or other articles to be used, transported or stored at high
temperature.
These dry heat tests do not enable the ability of specimens to withstand or
operate during the temperature variations to be assessed. In this case, it would be
necessary to use IEC 60068-2-14 Test N: Change of temperature.
The dry heat tests are subdivided as follows:
Dry heat test for non heat-dissipating specimens
- with gradual change of temperature, Bb.
Dry heat tests for heat-dissipating specimens
- with gradual change of temperature, Bd;
- with gradual change of temperature, specimen powered throughout, Be.
The procedures given in this Standard are normally intended for specimens that
achieve temperature stability during the performance of the test procedure.

The main changes from the

previous edition are as follows:
Tests Ba and Bc have been
deleted since they were more
severe than Test Nb, IEC

temperature. Secondly it was
considered justified to delete
the 3 % value on the
temperature difference
between the chamber air and
the wall temperatures. Thirdly
it is proposed that the test
specimen be powered
throughout the test where
required; and, finally, the
annexes have been removed.

Title and new description of the standard, and remarks

Environmental testing - Part 2-6: Tests - Test Fc: Vibration (sinusoidal)
This part of IEC 60068 gives a method of test which provides a standard
procedure to determine the ability of components, equipment and other articles,
hereinafter referred to as specimens, to withstand specified severities of
sinusoidal vibration. If an item is to be tested in an unpackaged form, that is
without its packaging, it is referred to as a test specimen. However, if the item is
packaged then the item itself is referred to as a product and the item and its
packaging together are referred to as a test specimen.
The purpose of this test is to determine any mechanical weakness and/or
degradation in the specified performance of specimens and to use this
information, in conjunction with the relevant specification, to decide upon the
acceptability of the specimens. In some cases, the test method may also be used
to demonstrate the mechanical robustness of specimens and/or to study their
dynamic behavior. Categorization of components can also be made on the basis
of a selection from within the severities quoted in the test.
Environmental testing - Part 2-30: Tests - Test Db: Damp heat, cyclic (12 h + 12
h cycle)
This part of IEC 60068 determines the suitability of components, equipment or
other articles for use, transportation and storage under conditions of high
humidity - combined with cyclic temperature changes and, in general, producing
condensation on the surface of the specimen. If the test is being used to verify the
performance of a specimen whilst it is being transported or stored in packaging
then the packaging will normally be fitted when the test conditions are being
applied. For small, low mass specimens, it may be difficult to produce
condensation on the surface of the specimen using this procedure; users should
consider the use of an alternative procedure such as that given to IEC 60068-238.

Title and new description of the standard, and remarks

Environmental testing - Part 2-31: Tests - Test Ec: Rough handling shocks,
primarily for equipment-type specimens
This part of IEC 60068 deals with a test procedure for simulating the effects of
rough handling shocks, primarily in equipment-type specimens, the effects of
knocks, jolts and falls which may be received during repair work or rough
handling in operational use. This procedure does not simulate the effects of
impacts received during transportation as loosely constrained cargo. Where the
effects of loose cargo transportation are to be assessed, test Ee: Bounce should be
used. Also this procedure does not simulate the effects of shock applied to
installed equipments. Where this effect is to be assessed refer to test Ea: Shock.
Testing should only be specified for equipment likely to receive such rough
handling, for example those of small to medium size and mass, and should only
be applied to those faces and corners where there is a risk of such treatment being
encountered. In general, equipment which is frequently handled and serviced (for
example field equipment and unit spares) can be considered at risk, whereas
equipment forming an integral part of a permanent installation would not
normally be considered at risk and need not be tested. Testing may not be
applicable to fragile unprotected equipment of irregular shape (for example
aircraft nose radar) which, when removed from the installation would be
contained in a handling frame or jig. It may however be applicable to these items
of equipment when they are in their transit case or in their handling frame or jig.
For equipment which stands only on one face (for example the normal base) the
test is generally only applied to that face. Shock tests are performed on the
specimen when fixed to the test machine. Drop and topple, free fall, repeated free
fall and bounce tests are performed with the specimen free.
Environmental testing - Part 2-47: Test - Mounting of specimens for vibration,
impact and similar dynamic tests
This part of IEC 60068 provides methods for mounting products, whether
packaged or unpackaged, as well as mounting requirements for equipment and
other articles, for the series of dynamic tests in IEC 60068-2, that is impact (Test
E), vibration (Test F) and acceleration, steady-state (Test G). When they are
fastened to the test apparatus and subjected to these tests, whether packaged or
unpackaged, they are referred to as specimens.

Environmental testing - Part 2-64: Tests - Test Fh: Vibration, broadband random
and guidance

IEC 60068-3-1
Ed 2.0 (2011-08)

This part of IEC 60068 demonstrates the adequacy of specimens to resist

dynamic loads without unacceptable degradation of its functional and/or
structural integrity when subjected to the specified random vibration test
requirements. Broadband random vibration may be used to identify accumulated
stress effects and the resulting mechanical weakness and degradation in the
specified performance. This information, in conjunction with the relevant
specification, may be used to assess the acceptability of specimens. This standard
is applicable to specimens which may be subjected to vibration of a stochastic
nature resulting from transportation or operational environments, for example in
aircraft, space vehicles and land vehicles. It is primarily intended for unpackaged
specimens, and for items in their transportation container when the latter may be
considered as part of the specimen itself. However, if the item is packaged, then
the item itself is referred to as a product and the item and its packaging together
are referred to as a test specimen. This standard may be used in conjunction with
IEC 60068-2-47:2005, for testing packaged products. If the specimens are
subjected to vibration of a combination of random and deterministic nature
resulting from transportation or real life environments, for example in aircraft,
space vehicles and for items in their transportation container, testing with pure
random may not be sufficient. See IEC 60068-3-8:2003 for estimating the
dynamic vibration environment of the specimen and based on that, selecting the
appropriate test method.

product or product-family EMC immunity Standard exists. This Standard applies

to apparatus intended to be directly connected to a low-voltage public mains
network or connected to a dedicated DC source which is intended to interface
between the apparatus and the low-voltage public mains network. This Standard
applies also to apparatus which is battery operated or is powered by a non-public,
but non-industrial, low voltage power distribution system if this apparatus is
intended to be used in the locations described below. The environments
encompassed by this Standard are residential, commercial and light industrial
locations, both indoor and outdoor. The following list, although not
comprehensive, gives an indication of locations which are included:
- residential properties, for example houses, apartments;
- retail outlets, for example shops, supermarkets;
- business premises, for example offices, banks;
- areas of public entertainment, for example cinemas, public bars, dance halls;
- outdoor locations, for example petrol stations, car parks, amusement and sports
centers;
- light-industrial locations, for example workshops, laboratories, service centers.
Locations which are characterized by being supplied directly at low voltage from
the public mains network are considered to be residential, commercial or lightindustrial. The object of this Standard is to define the immunity test requirements
for apparatus specified in the scope in relation to continuous and transient,
conducted and radiated disturbances including electrostatic discharges. The
immunity requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of
immunity for apparatus at residential, commercial and light-industrial locations.
The levels do not, however, cover extreme cases, which may occur at any
location, but with an extremely low probability of occurrence. Not all disturbance
phenomena have been included for testing purposes in this Standard but only
those considered as relevant for the equipment covered by this Standard. These
test requirements represent essential electromagnetic compatibility immunity
requirements. Test requirements are specified for each port considered.

Major technical changes

Immunity requirements in the frequency range 0 Hz to 400 GHz are covered. No

tests need to be performed at frequencies where no requirements are specified.
This generic EMC immunity Standard is applicable if no relevant dedicated
product or product-family EMC immunity Standard exists.
This Standard applies to apparatus intended to be connected to a power network
supplied from a high or medium voltage transformer dedicated to the supply of
an installation feeding manufacturing or similar plant, and intended to operate in
or in proximity to industrial locations, as described below. This Standard applies
also to apparatus which is battery operated and intended to be used in industrial
locations.
The environments encompassed by this Standard are industrial, both indoor and
outdoor.
Industrial locations are in addition characterized by the existence of one or more
of the following:
- industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) apparatus (as defined in CISPR 11);
- heavy inductive or capacitive loads are frequently switched;
- currents and associated magnetic fields are high.
The object of this Standard is to define immunity test requirements for apparatus
defined in the scope in relation to continuous and transient, conducted and
radiated disturbances, including electrostatic discharges.
The immunity requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of
immunity for apparatus at industrial locations. The levels do not, however, cover
extreme cases, which may occur at any location, but with an extremely low
probability of occurrence. Not all disturbance phenomena have been included for
testing purposes in this Standard, but only those considered as relevant for the
equipment covered by this Standard. These test requirements represent essential
electromagnetic compatibility immunity requirements

according to IEC 61000-4-3

has been extended above 1
GHz according to technologies
used in this frequency area.
The use of TEM waveguide
testing according to IEC
61000-4-20 has been
introduced for certain products
and the testing requirements
according to IEC 61000-4-11
have been amended
significantly.

In addition to the Standards quoted in OIML D 11, the following IEC Standard gives guidance for the choice of vibration test(s):
IEC 60068-3-8 (2003-08) Environmental testing - Part 3-8: Supporting documentation and guidance - Selecting amongst vibration tests
Description of the Standard IEC 60068-3-8
Introduction to the Standard IEC 60068-3-8
This Standard IEC 60068-3-8 provides guidance for selecting amongst the IEC
Components, equipment and other electrotechnical products, hereinafter called
60068-2 stationary vibration test methods Fc sinusoidal, Fh random and F(x) Mixed specimens, can be subjected to different kinds of vibration during manufacture,
mode vibration. The different steady-state test methods and their aims are briefly
transportation or in service. In the IEC 60721-3 Standards, those different vibration
described in Clause 4. Transient test methods are not included. For vibration
environments are tabulated into classes characterizing stationary and transient vibration
testing, the environmental conditions, especially the dynamic conditions for the
conditions. The Standards in the IEC 60068-2 series describe methods for testing with
specimen, should be known. This Standard helps to collect information about the
stationary or transient vibration. There will be three Standards in the IEC 60068-2 series
environmental conditions (Clause 5), to estimate or measure the dynamic
for environmental testing that specify test methods employing stationary vibration:
Part 2-6 Test Fc: Vibration (sinusoidal),
conditions (Clause 6) and gives examples to enable decisions to be made on the
Part 2-64 Test Fh: Vibration, broad-band random (digital control) and guidance, and
most applicable environmental vibration test method. Starting from the condition,
Part 2-80 Test F-: Mixed mode testing (under consideration)
the method of selecting the appropriate test is given. Since real life vibration
conditions are dominated by vibration of a random nature, random testing should be
the commonly used method, see Table 1, Clause 7. The methods included hereafter
may be used to examine the vibration response of a specimen under test before,
during and after vibration testing. The selection for the appropriate excitation
method is described in Clause 8 and tabulated in Table 2. In this standard
specification, writers will find information concerning vibration test methods and
guidance for their selection. For guidance on test parameters, or severities of one of
the test methods, reference should be made to the normative references.
