scope:

This International Standard identifies a set of parameters to be specified, as applicable, for vibration measurements, analysis, reporting and archiving. It is intended for use in the testing of structures, machines, vehicles, sensitive equipment and other dynamic systems. This International Standard applies to measurements made by modern data acquisition systems, including digital signal processors, using readily available commercial instrumentation. It can be applied to a variety of common vibration measurement types, including time history, spectrum and frequency-response function measurements.
