DD IEC/TS 62492-1:2008

What is DD IEC/TS 62492-1 – Radiation thermometers about?

DD IEC/TS 62492-1 is a draft document and technical specification that applies to radiation thermometry.

DD IEC/TS 62492-1 defines the technical data, i.e., metrological data to be given in data sheets and operating instructions for radiation thermometers with one wavelength range and one measurement field, to ensure that the data and terminology are used consistently.

Note: Infrared ear thermometers are excluded from DD IEC/TS 62492-1.

Who is DD IEC/TS 62492-1 – Radiation thermometers for?

DD IEC/TS 62492-1 on technical data for radiation thermometers is useful for:

• Manufacturers of radiation thermometers
• Quality control personnel
• Testing personnel

Why should you use DD IEC/TS 62492-1 – Radiation thermometers?

Technical data for radiation thermometers are frequently given using terms whose meaning is not clear and therefore open to misinterpretation. Moreover, the data are given for measuring conditions that are not standardised.

DD IEC/TS 62492-1 facilitates comparability and testability. DD IEC/TS 62492-1 stipulates unambiguous definitions for stating technical data under standardised measuring conditions.

Overall, by defining the technical data for radiation thermometers DD IEC/TS 62492-1 helps you to compare technical design and performance data for it.
