PAS 7040:2019 PDF

What is this PAS about? Many industries are using digitalization and automation more and more, leading to a greater reliance on sensors which measure processes, environmental conditions and the physical attributes of manufactured items. Since sensors have become vital, this PAS deals with their trustworthiness and their data. It takes into account measurement and sensor fundamentals, the provenance of sensors and their data and the assessment of measurement uncertainty. It examines security issues that may impact on the trustworthiness of sensors and their use, including the transmission of data over a network. A risk management process for sensors is set out as well as the need for an organization to have a strategy for the use of and reliance on networked sensors. The issue of sensor trust and identity is examined, along with measures regarding the sharing of sensor data and the maintenance of its long-term usefulness. Who is this PAS for?

Organizations which design, build, sell and maintain internet-enabled sensors for digital manufacturing applications and who acquire, integrate and maintain them in operational deployments Managers who manage business, legal and compliance risks associated with such products, their deployments, and the data and information that originates from them, in particular, users deploying over the top retro-fitted sensors in their systems, as well as those who internet-enable their embedded sensors’ capabilities in production environments

Why should you use this PAS? It gives guidance on quality and security provisions for measurements generated by network sensors and transmitted over a network, in a manufacturing production line, or associated servitization. It includes guidance on how to assure measurements and support the process of adoption within key industry stakeholders. It covers: a)   ...
