本日本工业标准规定了由动圈式指示器和JIS C 1602规定的热电偶组成的模拟系统指示热电温度计（包括配备放大器和/或基准结补偿电路的仪表），以下简称“温度计”。然而，配有烧毁电路的指示器仅用于带有放大器的温度计。对于配有控制机构和报警机构之一或两者的温度计，本标准适用于实际情况。

This Japanese Industrial Standard specifies indicating thermoelectric thermometers of analog system consisting of the combination of moving coil type indicators and the thermocouples specified in JIS C 1602 (including meters provided with an amplifier and/or reference junction compensating circuit), hereinafter referred to as the "thermometers". Indicators provided with a burn-out circuit are, however, employed only in thermometers with amplifier. For thermometers provided with either one or both of control mechanism and alarming mechanism, this standard applies as practical.
