What is BS EN 61987-10 - LOPs for industrial-process measurement and control for electronic data exchange about?
BS EN 61987-10 is the tenth part of the multiple series standard that provides a method of standardizing the descriptions of process control devices, instrumentation and auxiliary equipment as well as their operating environments and operating requirements (for example, measuring point specification data).
Note: BS EN 61987-10 intention is to produce a reference dictionary that allows a description of the inquiry, offer, company internal and other descriptions of process control systems, instrumentation and auxiliary equipment based on the list of properties.
Who is BS EN 61987-10 - LOPs for industrial-process measurement and control for electronic data exchange for?
BS EN 61987-10 on LOPs for industrial-process measurement and control for electronic data exchange is useful for: 
- Software companies / IT firms 
- The IT industries
- Users of LOPs controller systems 
- Implementers of LOPs
- Telecommunication companies

Why should you use BS EN 61987-10 - LOPs for industrial-process measurement and control for electronic data exchange?
The administrative list of properties (LOPs) is a collection of properties that describe the aspects of starting, tracking, and finishing a transaction.
BS EN 61987-10 describes industrial-process device types and devices using structured lists of properties and makes the associated properties available in a component data dictionary. BS EN 61987-10 defines the approach for structuring lists of properties for electrical and process control equipment, for example measuring devices, actuators, motors, low-voltage switchgear, etc., that will help you to facilitate fully automatic engineering workflows in the planning and maintenance of industrial plants and to allow the devices to optimize your processes and workflows.
Overall, BS EN 61987-10 help you with the following:
- To define a common language through the publication of Lists of Properties (lops)
- To optimize workflows in processes such as engineering, development and purchasing within your own organizations
- To reduce transaction costs
