Industrial processes as a prerequisite for the creation of new regulatory legal acts

IMAGE 2021-01-04 21:49:22.jpg

Production has always combined several key stages and categories. Any global process receives regulation by controlling every small step carried out in the entire process. One of the most key stages is test methods, building a security system, as well as quality control of the materials and technologies used. Only if you follow all the recommendations for each of the above stages of production of any product, you can be sure of the quality of the final product as well as its compliance with international standards. To simplify the regulation of this process, such documents as international standards are being created. As more and more businesses and organizations go international, we advise you to familiarize yourself with some of the most key documents for manufacturing processes.

EN IEC 62149-5:2020

The use of various materials, both in production and in any other type of business activity, is regulated by international standards, and there is a separate document for each technical specification. Further, we will talk about such an international standard suitable for this category as EN IEC 62149-5: 2020.

IEC 62149-5:2020 is available as IEC 62149-5:2020 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 62149-5:2020 specifies performance on the transceiver modules for asynchronous-transfer-mode passive optical network (ATM-PON) systems recommended by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in ITU-T Recommendation G.983.1. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2009 and constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - description of types in Clause 4 has been removed; - titles of reference documents have been updated.

Since the document can be applied in a fairly wide number of areas and types of organizations, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with its characteristics in detail on our website.

EN IEC 61169-1-4:2020

Technologies for the use of new devices, as well as their introduction into existing business processes, must be carried out gradually and in accordance with the existing system. One of the international documents that minimize the negative consequences of the use of new technologies is EN IEC 61169-1-4: 2020.

IEC 61169-1-4:2020 provides test methods for the voltage standing wave ratio, return loss and reflection coefficient of RF connectors, including frequency domain method, time domain method, and gating. This document is applicable to cable RF connectors, microstrip RF connectors and RF adapters. It is also suitable to RF channels in multi-RF channel connectors and hybrid connectors.

The implementation of test methods in the correct way largely determines the quality of building the entire system in the future, which is why we recommend having this standard available if your field of activity comes into contact with the technologies mentioned above.

EN IEC 61300-2-56:2020

Test methods are applied to different stages and technologies in organizations, which is why a separate international standard is created for each of them. The next document for the regulation of these processes is EN IEC 61300-2-56: 2020.

This standard describes the test procedure to test the wind resistance of a protective housing and its mounting hardware using the fastening parts recommended by the manufacturer. The protective housing is considered to have a cuboid shape. The applied force in this test procedure simulates a steady wind load from each direction to a protective housing and its mounting hardware fixed to a support.

Since at first glance, the technical specifics of each of the documents are difficult to distinguish without its practical application, we recommend that you consult with managers in the field of selection of international standardization in order to avoid the mistake of acquiring the wrong document.

EN IEC 62443-3-2:2020

Compliance with international security rules both in the transfer of information and in the implementation of production processes is a very important issue for modern business, which is why this understanding is regulated by such international documents as EN IEC 62443-3-2: 2020.

IEC 62443-3-2:2020(E) establishes requirements for:

• defining a system under consideration (SUC) for an industrial automation and control system (IACS);

• partitioning the SUC into zones and conduits;

• assessing risk for each zone and conduit;

• establishing the target security level (SL-T) for each zone and conduit;

• documenting the security requirements.

Since interconnecting devices and passive components are used in a large number of organizations and production processes, this particular standard may apply to the regulation of the activities carried out by your company. That is why we recommend that you familiarize yourself with its parameters in more detail and think about introducing it into the scientific and technological base of your business.

Security for industrial automation and control systems - Part 3-2: Security risk assessment for system design

OPC Unified Architecture - Part 8: Data Access EN IEC 62541-8:2020

Automation of production processes is an integral part of organization and operations in the 21st century. However, to guarantee a high-quality final result, there must be complete confidence in the correct structuring of existing processes. To build a clear system operating with a minimum amount of risks and possible losses, such international documents as IEC 62541-8: 2020 are created.

This document is available as IEC 62541-8:2020 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 62541-8:2020 is part of the overall OPC Unified Architecture (OPC UA) standard series and defines the information model associated with Data Access (DA). It particularly includes additional VariableTypes and complementary descriptions of the NodeClasses and Attributes needed for Data Access, additional Properties, and other information and behaviour. The complete address space model, including all NodeClasses and Attributes is specified in IEC 62541-3. The services to detect and access data are specified in IEC 62541-4. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) added new VariableTypes for AnalogItems; b) added an Annex that specifies a recommended mapping of OPC UA Dataccess to OPC COM DataAccess; c) changed the ambiguous description of "Bad_NotConnected"; d) updated description for EUInformation to refer to latest revision of UNCEFACT units.

Since a large number of amendments and additions from related international standards can mislead you, you can familiarize yourself with the documents mentioned in the description and compare them to understand a clearer picture, or contact the iTech management team and get qualified assistance in selecting the necessary you document.

An objective assessment of the possibility of organizational weaknesses can be the beginning of a new development path at the international level.

In order to understand the need to acquire and apply international standards, you need to objectively assess both the strengths and weaknesses of the organizational processes of your enterprise. Since international documents significantly increase confidence in the quality of the final product, then for the correct selection of an international standard it is necessary to ask the question "what parts of your business need to be strengthened and stimulated to reach new levels in the global understanding?" If you are interested in a new vector of international development and want to significantly structure and facilitate this process, you can always contact the team of our managers who will help you choose the necessary document for your organization.
