DIN ISO 16063-21:2016-08

The standard covers the calibration of vibration transducers by comparison under both standard laboratory conditions and in the field. The specifications for the instrumentation and the procedures given are intended to be used for calibration of rectilinear vibration transducers (with or without signal conditioning) to obtain the magnitude and (optionally) phase shift of the complex sensitivity at frequencies in the range of 0,4 Hz to 10 kHz by comparison with a reference (standard) transducer. The key to the application of this standard is in the careful detailed specification and evaluation of measurement uncertainty; that is, the error budget and computation of expanded uncertainty associated with the measurement of vibration. The methods described can be applied between all levels of the calibration hierarchy. Therefore, the standard is intended for those engaged in vibration measurements requiring traceability to primary national or international standards through a secondary, reference, working or check standard (portable calibrator intended for field use). International Standard ISO 16063-21, its Corrigendum 1 and Amendment 1 have been prepared by ISO/TC 108/SC 3 "Use and calibration of vibration and shock measuring instruments" with German collaboration. The German translation has been prepared at Working Committee NA 001-03-02 (NALS/VDI C 2) "Schwingungsmesstechnik" ("Vibration measuring techniques").
