by Jbs062210 h3 — June 28, 2010—ISO has just published a CD-ROM compilation of 202 standards and related documents addressing the field of mechanical vibration, shock, and the condition monitoring of machines, including vehicles, and structures, such as bridges and buildings.
The documents accessible on the Mechanical vibration, shock and condition monitoring ISO Standards collection on CD-ROM include the entire portfolio of ISO technical committee ISO/TC 108, Mechanical vibration, shock and condition monitoring, as well as a selection of other related ISO standards.
ISO/TC 108 Chair, Dr. Bruce E. Douglas, comments, “ISO/TC 108 was established because of the recognition that the machines, vehicles and structures upon which we depend for food, shelter and livelihood are all either subjected to, or are the source of, mechanical forces. These forces, which originate both from nature and man-made sources, result in harmful mechanical vibration, shock and acoustic energy that can damage or destroy a structure or its surroundings, as well as people’s health, says ISO.
“The proper measurement, monitoring and control of mechanical vibration and shock are critical to public safety, the environment, the quality of life and the sustainability of the Earth’s resources. Machine and structural efficiencies can be gained through proper dynamic design and maintenance practices. The ISO/TC 108 standards compiled on this new CD-ROM provide practical tools for effective and efficient design, good practice and for achieving these broader societal objectives. In addition, they give guidance for the training of certified specialists in these fields.”
