FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization
comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to
promote international cooperation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and
electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards.
Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in
the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and
non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC
collaborates closely with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with
conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters, prepared by technical committees on
which all the National Committees having a special interest therein are represented, express, as nearly as
possible, an international consensus of opinion on the subjects dealt with.
3) They have the form of recommendations for international use published in the form of standards, technical
reports or guides and they are accepted by the National Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
This part of International Standard IEC 1143 has been prepared by IEC technical
committee 85: Measuring equipment for basic electrical quantities.
The IEC 1143-1 and IEC 1143-2 cancel and replace the IEC 484 (1974).
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

Part 2: Recommended additional test methods
1.1 Scope
See part 1.
2.11 Intrinsic error test
The recorder shall be under reference conditions with the auxiliary circuits energized.
2.11.1 Measuring circuit
Before determining the intrinsic error, the record shall be at the chart scale line
corresponding to zero and the chart driving mechanism shall be on.
The errors shall be determined for both increasing and decreasing values of the
measurand as follows:
2.11.1.1 Continuous line recorders and single channel dotted line recorders
Procedure:
An input quantity shall be applied and increased sufficiently slowly, in order to avoid
BX,
overshoot, to a value corresponding to the input quantity, Ba. The recorded value,
shall be read as soon as the steady state value of the input has been reached and the
chart has advanced by at least 2 mm.
This test shall be performed at five approximately equal steps within the span, including
the lower and upper limits of the measuring range.
For single channel dotted line recorders, the reading used shall be that of the dot next
following the one indicating that the steady state has been reached. During this test the
chart shall be driven at a sufficiently high speed for the individual dots to be
distinguishable.
Computation:
The intrinsic error, expressed as a percentage, shall be computed for each selected step
as follows:
BX -
Ba
x 100
As
where AS is the span.
