scope:

This Standard identifies the functional characteristics of eddy current testing probe (hereafter referred to as "probe") and its interconnecting elements and provides methods for their measurement and verification.

The evaluation of these characteristics permits a well-defined description and comparability of the eddy current instrument. By careful choice of the necessary characteristics, a consistent and effective eddy current test system can be designed for a specific application.

Where accessories are used, these should be characterised using the principles of this Standard.

This Standard does not give the extent of verification nor acceptance criteria for the characteristics, which are given in the application documents ¹⁾.

NOTE: The International Standard corresponding to this Standard and the symbol of degree of correspondence are as follows.

ISO 15548-2: 2008 Non-destructive testing-Equipment for eddy current examination-Part 2: Probe characteristics and verification (MOD)

In addition, symbols which denote the degree of correspondence in the contents between the relevant International Standard and JIS are IDT (identical), MOD (modified), and NEQ (not equivalent) according to ISO/IEC Guide 21-1.

Note ¹⁾ Application document refers to a document made between the user and the manufacturer.
