What is ISO 16063?
ISO 16063:2023 is a multi-part standard developed by ISO/TC 108/SC 3 that defines standardized calibration procedures for sensors and instruments measuring mechanical vibrations and shocks. It applies to:
- Piezoelectric accelerometers
- Velocity and displacement transducers
- Vibration calibrators and reference transducers
- Shock response measurement systems
The standard is divided into parts such as:
- ISO 16063-1: Basic concepts
- ISO 16063-11: Primary vibration calibration using laser interferometry
- ISO 16063-21: Secondary vibration calibration using comparison methods
- ISO 16063-22: Shock calibration procedures
- ...and several more depending on specific measurement techniques.
Why is ISO 16063 important?
In fields like automotive durability testing, aerospace component validation, manufacturing quality control, and structural health monitoring, the precision of vibration and shock measurement instruments is critical.
Achieving ISO 16063:2023 certification ensures that these instruments are calibrated in a reliable, repeatable, and globally accepted manner. It builds technical credibility and boosts compliance with industry regulations.
What are the benefits of ISO 16063?
- Global Standardization: Ensures uniform calibration practices recognized worldwide.
- Improved Data Accuracy: Enhances measurement accuracy and reduces uncertainties in vibration and shock testing.
- Instrument Reliability: Helps extend the performance life and dependability of sensors and analyzers.
- Traceability: Aligns with metrological traceability requirements, improving audit readiness.
- Regulatory Compliance: Meets international testing and calibration mandates in safety-critical industries.
- Versatility: Applicable to a wide range of sectors such as aerospace, automotive, civil engineering, and industrial diagnostics
