scope:

Explains the principles underlying parts 2 to 5 of ISO 10846 for determining the transfer properties of vibration isolators from laboratory measurements, and provides assistance in the selection of the appropriate part of this series. This part of ISO 10546 is applicable to vibration isolators which are used to reduce: a) the transmission of audiofrequency vibrations (structure-borne sound, 20 Hz to 20 kHz) to a structure which may, for example, radiate fluid-borne sound (airborne, waterborne, or other); b) the transmission of low frequency vibrations (typically 1 Hz to 80 Hz) which may, for example, act upon humans or cause damage to structures when vibrations is too severe.
