IEST offers vibration and shock testing professionals select Standards from ISO/TC 108: Mechanical vibration, shock, and condition monitoring. Help ensure that your company is in compliance with the latest important international industry standards with these documents.

 

These international standards give valuable background information, along with test specifications, for those who deal with various types of vibration.  Not only do they cover the vibration equipment and its consequences, but they also give guidelines for properly choosing and accrediting the personnel who will be working with it.

Scope:

Standardization in the fields of mechanical vibration and shock and the effects of vibration and shock on humans, machines, vehicles (air, sea, land and rail) and stationary structures, and of the condition monitoring of machines and structures, using multidisciplinary approaches.

Specific areas of current interest include the standardization of:

• terminology and nomenclature in the fields of mechanical vibration, mechanical shock and condition monitoring;
• measurement, analysis and evaluation of vibration and shock e.g. signal processing methods, structural dynamics analysis methods, transducer and vibration generator calibration methods, etc.;
• active and passive control methods for vibration and shock, e.g. balancing of machines, isolation and damping;
• evaluation of the effects of vibration and shock on humans, machines, vehicles (air, sea, land and rail), stationary structures and sensitive equipment;
• vibration and shock measuring instrumentation, e.g. transducers, vibration generators, signal conditioners, signal analysis instrumentation and signal acquisition systems;
• measurement methods, instrumentation, data acquisition, processing, presentation, analysis, diagnostics and prognostics, using all measurement variables required for the condition monitoring of machines;
• training and certification of personnel in relevant areas.
