Programmable controllers – Part 2: Equipment requirements and tests. The previous versions of GB/T 15969.2-2024 are as follows: 2024: GB/T 15969.2-2024 Programmable controllers – Part 2: Equipment requirements and tests; 2008: GB/T 15969.2-2008 Programmable controllers – Part 2: Equipment requirements and tests; 1995: GB/T 15969.2-1995 Programmable controllers – Part 2: Equipment characteristics. Regarding the scope of application, GB/T 15969.2-2008 specifies the requirements and related tests for programmable controllers (PLCs) and their associated peripheral devices (such as programming and debugging tools (PADTs), human-machine interfaces (HMIs), etc.), which are used for mechanical control and command in industrial processes (as per their intended use). This section also applies to any product that performs the functions of a programmable controller (PLC) and/or its related peripheral devices. This section does not cover the functional safety or other aspects of the entire automation system. GB/T 15969.2-2024 will completely replace GB/T 15969.2-2008, providing standards that are better aligned with current technological advancements and industry needs for the equipment requirements and testing of programmable controllers. This will facilitate the updating and improvement of industry standards, thereby elevating the quality and performance of related products. On the one hand, it can guide programmable controller manufacturers to take performance criteria into account during the product design phase, thereby improving the technical level of domestic programmable controllers and ensuring that their products can meet the requirements of industrial applications ； On the other hand, it provides a basis and guidance for the testing of programmable controller products as well as for users in selecting appropriate products, thereby helping to improve the industrial ecosystem. National standards related to PLCs: \"Programmable Controllers\" are under the jurisdiction of TC124 (National Technical Committee for Standardization of Industrial Process Measurement, Control and Automation), with TC124SC5 (Subcommittee on Programmable Controllers and Systems of the National Technical Committee for Standardization of Industrial Process Measurement, Control and Automation) responsible for their implementation. The competent authority is the China Machinery Industry Federation.
