ISO 16063 is a multi-part standard titled:
“Methods for the calibration of vibration and shock transducers”
The ISO 16063 series includes over 20 parts, each covering specific calibration methods for:
Examples include:
Each part details instrumentation setup, test procedures, uncertainty evaluation, and environmental conditions, ensuring highly reproducible and traceable calibration results.
Accurate measurement of vibration and shock is vital to product development, safety testing, and structural integrity analysis. Faulty or miscalibrated sensors can lead to:
ISO 16063 ensures that transducers deliver reliable, traceable, and internationally recognized measurements—a requirement for test laboratories, equipment manufacturers, and calibration service providers.
It is also aligned with the principles of the International System of Units (SI), supporting metrological traceability.
Implementing ISO 16063 offers organizations the ability to:
Here’s how ISO 16063 benefits your business:
Accurate transducer calibration guarantees precise measurements used in structural health, crash testing, and component stress analysis.
Conformance to ISO 16063 makes your products and services accepted by international OEMs and testing bodies.
Essential for labs aiming for ISO/IEC 17025 compliance and accreditation.
Prevent engineering failures and liability by using traceably calibrated sensors.
Build trust with clients, regulatory bodies, and auditors by demonstrating commitment to measurement excellence.
Use accurate vibration/shock data to prevent premature wear, reduce downtime, and optimize maintenance planning.
