IEC/IEEE 62582的本部分包含使用压头测量技术对仪器和控制系统中的有机和聚合物材料进行状态监测的方法，详细说明了产生准确且可重复测量所需的细节。它包括样品选择、测量系统和测量条件以及测量结果报告的要求。 IEC/IEEE 62582的不同部分是测量标准，主要用于初始鉴定和安装后的老化管理。IEC/IEEE 62582第1部分包括IEC/IEEE 62582其他部分的应用要求，以及所有方法通用的一些元素。 IEC/IEEE Std 60780-323中提供了有关状态监测在重要安全设备鉴定中的作用的信息。本标准适用于非通电设备。

This part of IEC/IEEE 62582 contains methods for condition monitoring of organic and polymeric materials in instrumentation and control systems using the indenter measurement techniques in the detail necessary to produce accurate and reproducible measurements. It includes the requirements for the selection of samples, the measurement system and measurement conditions, and the reporting of the measurement results. The different parts of IEC/IEEE 62582 are measurement standards, primarily for use in the management of ageing in initial qualification and after installation. Part 1 of IEC/IEEE 62582 includes requirements for the application of the other parts of IEC/IEEE 62582 and some elements which are common to all methods. Information on the role of condition monitoring in the qualification of equipment important to safety is found in IEC/IEEE Std 60780-323. This documnt is intended for application to non-energised equipment.
