There are international standards related to inductive sensors. These standards help to define the characteristics and performance of the sensors, and ensure that the sensors used in industrial applications operate reliably and consistently.

Businesses can ensure that inductive sensors meet their specifications accurately by considering standards such as ISO, IEC, and EN when selecting sensors. Additionally, these standards provide guidance on the installation, use, maintenance, and testing of inductive sensors.

Some common standards for inductive sensors include:

    IEC 60947-5-2: Industrial control equipment - Electrical sensors - Part 5-2: Inductive sensors
    ISO 13384-1: Inductive sensors - Part 1: Definition and characteristics of inductive sensors
    EN 60947-5-2: Industrial control equipment - Electrical sensors - Part 5-2: Inductive sensors
    IEC 61131-2: Industrial automation systems - Programmable controllers - Part 2: Equipment requirements and tests
    DIN 43650: Electrical connectors for solenoid valves, solenoid interlock and solenoid actuators

These standards define the requirements for the design, characteristics, performance, and tests of inductive sensors. Products that comply with these standards can be tested and certified to ensure that they meet a certain quality standard.
