About This Item
IEC 61987-21:2015 defines a structured List of Properties for automated valves used in electronic data exchange, helping organizations describe equipment in a consistent and machine-readable way. Based on the official title, it is especially relevant where process control teams, procurement specialists, and engineering documentation groups need reliable product data for catalogues, technical review, and conformity assessment. IEC 61987-21:2015 supports clearer communication between suppliers and users, reducing ambiguity when comparing valve attributes and preparing technical documentation for automation workflows.
What is IEC 61987-21:2015?
This document forms part of the IEC 61987 series on data structures and elements in process equipment catalogues. Its focus is the generic List of Properties for automated valves, which can be used to organize and exchange technical information in a structured format. In practice, it supports engineering specification work, product evaluation, and documented evaluation of valve data during procurement or compliance preparation. The intent is to improve operational consistency when cataloguing equipment information across systems and stakeholders.
Applications of IEC 61987-21:2015
IEC 61987-21:2015 is commonly relevant in process automation environments where automated valves must be identified, compared, and documented with consistent property sets. It may be used in engineering databases, supplier catalogues, asset management systems, and technical validation workflows that depend on standardized data exchange. The document is also useful for laboratories and verification activities that review equipment data for completeness and traceability, particularly when organizations need dependable information for procurement review, integration planning, or regulatory preparation.
Why is IEC 61987-21:2015 important?
By standardizing how valve properties are represented, IEC 61987-21:2015 helps reduce data mismatches and supports interoperability across engineering and procurement systems. This can improve testing consistency, simplify technical assessment, and strengthen quality workflows where accurate catalogue data is needed before installation or approval. For organizations managing risk management and conformity assessment preparation, a common property structure helps limit interpretation errors and supports more efficient comparison of products during sourcing, documentation, and compliance checks.
