ISO/TS 10811-1:2000 PDF Download

ISO/TS 10811-1:2000 is a standard that provides methods for measuring, analyzing, and reporting shock and vibration data for buildings with sensitive equipment. The purpose of this standard is to ensure accurate data acquisition and analysis, as well as uniform reporting methods, in order to evaluate vibration levels in relation to manufacturers' and generic vibration criteria.

The standard considers various types of shock and vibration transmitted from floors, tables, walls, ceilings, or isolation systems into sensitive equipment units. It does not explicitly consider the vibration and shock response of individual mechanical or electronic parts within the unit. The types of sensitive equipment covered by the standard include stationary computer systems, telecommunication equipment, laboratory equipment, high-precision instruments, optical instruments, electromechanical systems, and security equipment.

The types of shock and vibration considered in the standard can be generated by external sources such as traffic, building and construction activities, and weather-induced vibrations. It also considers equipment for indoor use and human activities associated with the service or operation of the equipment. The frequency range of interest is typically 2 Hz to 200 Hz, with dominant frequencies usually below 100 Hz. Vibration amplitudes in terms of velocity range from 0.001 mm/s to 10 mm/s.

It is important to note that this standard focuses on vibration effects on sensitive equipment and does not directly consider the impact on human operators. For vibration effects on human beings, ISO 2631 should be referred to. The standard only covers vibration from a maximum amplitude perspective and does not address the concept of vibration dose or fatigue life estimation.
