IEC 61580-4:1997/COR1:2006

IEC 61580-4:1997/COR1:2006 is a corrigendum connected to

IEC 61580-4:1997/COR1:2006

the parent document on methods of measurement for waveguides, specifically Part 4 addressing attenuation of waveguide and waveguide assemblies. As a supporting reference, it is relevant when teams need to confirm that the underlying measurement text is being applied accurately in technical review, testing workflows, and documented evaluation. For engineering and compliance users, it helps maintain confidence in the reference basis used for laboratory evaluation and conformity assessment.

Purpose of IEC 61580-4:1997/COR1:2006

The purpose of IEC 61580-4:1997/COR1:2006 is to correct or refine the parent publication, rather than to define a separate full technical method on its own. In practice, it supports the measurement framework for attenuation in waveguides and waveguide assemblies by clarifying the authoritative text used in verification activities. That makes it useful for teams preparing technical documentation, checking procurement references, or aligning internal test procedures with the intended engineering specification.

Compliance applications of IEC 61580-4:1997/COR1:2006

Organizations may use this corrigendum when reviewing waveguide attenuation measurements in laboratories, inspection programs, or product evaluation workflows. It is most relevant where technical compliance depends on accurate interpretation of the parent document and consistent application across testing environments. Procurement teams, test engineers, and conformity assessment specialists can use it as a supporting compliance reference during document control, regulatory preparation, and quality workflows tied to waveguide components or assemblies.

Benefits of IEC 61580-4:1997/COR1:2006

Using the corrigendum can reduce risk from misread or outdated wording in the underlying measurement method. That supports more consistent testing, clearer technical validation, and stronger engineering documentation across repeated assessments. It also helps organizations keep compliance workflows aligned with the corrected source text, which is important for interoperability checks, acceptance testing, and procurement review. In regulated or quality-controlled environments, that kind of precision can improve confidence in reported attenuation results.

• Supporting correction document for the parent waveguide attenuation measurement text
• Relevant to laboratory evaluation and repeatable test procedure review
• Useful in conformity assessment, document control, and technical audit workflows
• Helps maintain alignment between engineering documentation and the corrected reference basis
