According to the official WeChat account of the State Administration for Market Regulation, the international standard IEC 63206 "Testing and Performance Evaluation of Industrial Process Control System Recorder" led by China has been officially released recently. This standard is an important innovation in the current recorder standards for industrial process control systems, aimed at establishing a unified foundation for various recorder technical specifications and promoting the healthy development of the global manufacturing industry.
Recorder is the "black box" of industrial process control, an important tool for ensuring accurate collection, monitoring, analysis and optimization of production data, and can provide critical support for improving efficiency and quality of industrial processes. This standard specifies the classification, requirements, and performance evaluation methods for recorders, covering the vast majority of major types of recorders in process control systems, including analog graphic recorders, digital recorders, X-Y recorders, event recorders, etc.

As a unified technical specification for industrial recorder products, this standard is a key hub in the intelligent manufacturing ecosystem and an important basis for manufacturers, users, and third-party testing institutions to control product quality. It not only provides important technical indicators for international trade of related products, promotes smooth connection of international trade, but also provides high-level reference standards for quality control in the manufacturing industry. The implementation of this standard will promote the technological upgrade of recorder products, further enhance product reliability, effectively ensure data integrity in the production process, and thus promote the comprehensive upgrade of production safety, quality control, fault analysis, and energy efficiency management.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the global body responsible for developing international standards in the fields of electrical, electronic, information technology, and related areas, providing important technical support for promoting technological innovation and global trade. As an important member of IEC, China has actively participated in the formulation of international standards in recent years, strengthened the construction of a multi-level international standardization talent team, consolidated the foundation of international standardization development, and continuously improved China's influence and contribution in international standard organizations.
