Full title and description
St IEC 61153-1992 — Electrical and pneumatic analogue chart recorders for use in industrial-process control systems: Guidance for inspection and routine testing. The document provides technical guidance for inspection and routine testing of electrical and pneumatic analogue chart recorders, for example as acceptance tests or after repair.
Abstract
This standard gives guidance on inspection and routine testing procedures for analogue chart recorders used in industrial process-control systems. It covers electrical and pneumatic instruments operated from standard process signals and focuses on checks that support acceptance, post-repair validation and periodic maintenance.
General information
- Status: Withdrawn / Replaced (superseded by IEC 60873 series).
- Publication date: 31 May 1992.
- Publisher: International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
- ICS / categories: 25.040.40 — Industrial process measurement and control.
- Edition / version: Edition 1.0 (1992).
- Number of pages: 13 pages.
Scope
Applies to electrical and pneumatic analogue chart recorders that use analogue signals in industrial-process control systems. The guidance is intended to support routine inspection and testing activities (for example acceptance testing and verification following repair) to assess performance, recording quality and operational readiness.
Key topics and requirements
- Inspection criteria and routine test procedures for analogue chart recorders (electrical and pneumatic systems).
- Guidance for acceptance testing and post-repair verification to confirm instrument performance and recording quality.
- Checks related to signal inputs, pen/channel behaviour, trace quality and stability under expected influence quantities.
- Recommendations for test conditions, reporting of test results and aspects to be included in maintenance records.
- Alignment with later methods and performance-evaluation procedures incorporated into the IEC 60873 series.
Typical use and users
Used by process-control engineers, instrument calibration and maintenance technicians, quality/acceptance teams, repair workshops and manufacturers of analogue chart recorders who need guidance on inspection and routine testing practices.
Related standards
IEC 61153:1992 has been superseded and its subject matter incorporated into the IEC 60873 series — notably IEC 60873-1:2003 (methods for performance evaluation) and IEC 60873-2:2004 (guidance for inspection and routine testing). Regional/adopted versions (EN/BS/ national variants) reflect these replacements.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: An IEC international standard from 1992 providing guidance for inspection and routine testing of electrical and pneumatic analogue chart recorders used in industrial-process control systems.
Q: What does it cover?
A: Guidance on inspection criteria, routine test procedures, acceptance testing and post-repair verification for analogue chart recorders, including aspects of signal inputs, trace quality and stability.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: Process-control engineers, maintenance and calibration technicians, manufacturers and QA/acceptance personnel responsible for analogue chart recorders.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: It is superseded/withdrawn. IEC 61153:1992 was replaced by the IEC 60873 series (IEC 60873-1:2003 and IEC 60873-2:2004); users should refer to those parts (and applicable regional/adopted versions) for current methods and guidance.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — its subject matter has been folded into the IEC 60873 series (Part 1: methods for performance evaluation; Part 2: guidance for inspection and routine testing) and related regional standards.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: Analogue chart recorder, inspection, routine testing, acceptance test, electrical recorder, pneumatic recorder, recording quality, process control.
