Activities of new TC22 "vibration measurement"

Precise and reliable measurements of vibration and acceleration are frequently required from diverse fields of industry and science. Reliable vibration measurements are also requested in variety fields of safe and commerce which is the entirety of the legislative, administrative and technical procedures established by, or by reference to public authorities. Although the mentioned quantities are among the most important for industrial production, modal testing, preventative maintenance, quality control and safety system and thus are established in the metrological traceability system in many countries worldwide, there is no regular international forum in existence until today, which is concerned with this special topic. With this regard, IMEKO TC22 "vibration measurement" was founded in 2006 with the target to establish an international non-governmental forum for vibration and shock metrologists. In this presentation, the aim, background, expected subjects to be treated in this TC are presented.
