DIN EN ISO 15548-1:2014-03

This part of ISO 15548 specifies the functional characteristics of a general-purpose eddy current instrument and provides methods for their measurement and verification. The evaluation of these characteristics permits a well-defined description and comparability of eddy current equipment. By careful choice of the characteristics, a consistent and effective eddy current examination system can be designed for specific applications. Where accessories are used, these should be characterized using the principles of this part of ISO 15548. This part of ISO 15548 gives neither provisions for the extent of verification nor acceptance criteria for the characteristics. They are given in the application documents. This document (EN ISO 15548-1:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 135 "Non-destructive testing" in collaboration with Technical Committee CEN/TC 138 "Non-destructive testing", the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR (France). The responsible German body involved in its preparation is Working Committee NA 062-08-24 AA "Elektrische und magnetische Prüfverfahren" ("Electrical and magnetic test methods") at the Materials Testing Standards Committee (NMP) at DIN.
