scope:

This part of ISO 2017 establishes requirements to ensure appropriate exchange of information regarding the application of isolation of buildings from vibrations and shocks generated by man-made sources.

This part of ISO 2017 is applicable only during the design and construction of new buildings in areas affected by important vibrations which can be generated by single or multiple sources (railways, traffic, industrial activity, etc.) The isolation of these buildings serves to ensure the integrity of the structure and equipment inside (including sensitive equipment) and human comfort.

This part of ISO 2017 specifies the information to be exchanged between building owner, customer, and vibration isolation supplier. It gives appropriate responses to questions highlighted by the producer and user (why, what, when, and how to isolate mechanical systems).

This part of ISO 2017 does not include earthquake and wind-generated forces.
