Short description
The guideline defines the characteristics for the assessment of optical strain sensors (OSS) and describes testing procedures for them. With the guideline the manufacturer of optical strain sensors is given directions for their production and description, and the user a better understanding regarding the selection, application and operation of optical strain sensors. In addition the definitions in the guideline improve the feedback between the manufacturer and the user of optical strain sensors, since defined characteristics constitute a mutual, commonly understood basis for their communication. The guideline is aimed at manufacturers and users of optical strain sensors. Besides the production units, the provinces marketing and distribution are also addressed.
