What is BS EN IEC 62890 about?

BS EN IEC 62890establishes basic principles for Life-Cycle-Management of systems

and components used for industrial-process measurement, control and automation. These principles are applicable to various industrial sectors. BS EN IEC 62890provides definitions and reference models related to the life-cycle of a product type and the life time of a product instance, BS EN IEC 62890defines a consistent set of generic reference models and terms. The key models defined are:

Life-Cycle-Model
Structure model
Compatibility model

BS EN IEC 62890also describes the application of these models for Life-Cycle-Management strategies. The content is used for technical aspects concerning the design, planning, development and maintenance of automation systems and components and the operation of the plant.

The definitions of generic models and terms regarding Life-Cycle-Management are indispensable for a common understanding and application by all partners in the value chain such as plant user, product and system producer, service provider, and component supplier.

The models and strategies described in BS EN IEC 62890are also applicable for related management systems, i.e., MES and ERP.

BS EN IEC 62890gives you models for Life-Cycle-Management that focuses on the selection of robust components, specifications, and technologies that consequently have long-term stability.

Who is BS EN IEC 62890 for?

BS EN IEC 62890 on industrial-process measurement, control and automation — life-cycle-management for systems and components is useful for:

Industries using automation
Manufacturing plants
Energy industry

Why should you use BS EN IEC 62890?

In today's automation applications, an increasing divergence of the life-cycles of components, devices and systems in comparison to the life time of overall plants is evident. The increasing functionality of components, the advancing development of electronics and the innovation dynamics inherent to hardware and software are continuously shortening the life-cycle of individual automation components. Certain semiconductor components are only manufactured for a short period of time, for example, and subsequently abandoned.

BS EN IEC 62890 is comprised of basic, complementary and consistent models and strategies for Life-Cycle-Management in automation. These generic models and strategies are then applied to various examples.

BS EN IEC 62890 specifies Life-Cycle-Management requirements for energy industry.

BS EN IEC 62890 represents a consistent general approach, which is applicable to automation in various industrial sectors. The economic significance of Life-Cycle-Management is a recurring theme of BS EN IEC 62890.

BS EN IEC 62890 gives last-time buy, substitution, re-design and migration strategies for Life-Cycle-Management.
