Previous humidity tests were steady-state (e.g., 95% RH at 40°C). The introduces "condensation cycling."
For decades, industrial process control has relied on a silent backbone of standards. Among these, the has been the gold standard for testing and evaluating the performance of process measurement instruments. However, with the recent release of the IEC 612982 new revision (formally IEC 61298-2:2025), the landscape of industrial calibration, vibration testing, and environmental simulation has shifted dramatically.
The IEC 61298-2:2022 standard will have a significant impact on various industries that rely on process automation and control, including:
Despite the scope changes, the core methodologies for establishing a device's baseline metrics remain rigorous. The tests specified under reference conditions address four primary performance areas: Accuracy-Related Factors
If your project requires the → still IEC 61298-1:2014, IEC 61298-2:2008, IEC 61298-3:2009, IEC 61298-4:2017.
The technical transition to the draft standard prEN IEC 61298-2:2024 and the final ED3 release introduces essential updates to streamline manufacturing and testing workflows: 1. Digital Integration
The latest information regarding indicates that a new version, Edition 3.0 , is currently in the final stages of publication and is scheduled for release in 2026 . Status of IEC 61298-2:2026
