scope:

This American National Standard establishes the requirements to promote an appropriate exchange of information regarding the application and selection of isolation for the reduction of vibrations generated by equipment and machines. Therefore, use of this standard can improve communication among engineers, manufacturers and end-users concerned with vibration isolation.

It is beyond the scope of this standard to present characteristics of resilient mountings. Rather, it is intended to outline, in standardized form, what data and preliminary technical information should be presented to enable the experienced designer to apply resilient mountings correctly.
