Overview
ISO 16063-31:2009/Amd 1:2025 is an important amendment to the international standard governing methods for the calibration of vibration and shock transducers. Specifically, this amendment enhances Part 31 of the series, focusing on the testing of transverse vibration sensitivity. This update introduces a normative annex detailing the testing methodology using elliptical orbits, providing a more comprehensive and precise approach to evaluating the transverse sensitivity of vibration and shock transducers.
Developed by ISO Technical Committee ISO/TC 108 on Mechanical Vibration, Shock, and Condition Monitoring, this amendment aligns with established procedures and advances the international framework for calibration standards. It ensures the reliable performance and accuracy of transducers used in a variety of industrial, automotive, aerospace, and research applications.
Key Topics
Calibration of vibration and shock transducers: This standard discusses precise methods to measure device responses when subjected to transverse vibrations, ensuring accuracy in sensitive measurement instruments.
Transverse vibration sensitivity: The amendment focuses on the critical aspect of how transducers respond to vibrations perpendicular to their main sensing axis, an important parameter in accurate data acquisition.
Elliptical orbit testing method: A significant addition described in Annex B involves the use of elliptical orbits generated by bi-axial excitation in X and Y directions. This technique allows for the testing of transducer sensitivity over multiple axes and phases of vibration.
Mathematical formulation: The amendment provides detailed formulas (B.1 to B.10) describing acceleration components, output response, sensitivity ellipses, and sensitivity lines, enhancing the precision in quantifying transverse sensitivity.
Special case for circular orbits: The amendment notes circular orbit motion as a special case of elliptical motion, where the two perpendicular vibration components have equal magnitudes and are 90 degrees out of phase, simplifying sensitivity calculations.
Applications
ISO 16063-31:2009/Amd 1:2025 serves as a key reference for professionals in:
Calibration laboratories: Ensuring vibration and shock sensors meet exacting standards through improved transverse sensitivity testing.
Manufacturing and quality control: Assisting manufacturers in verifying and certifying device accuracy before deployment.
Automotive and aerospace engineering: Enhancing device reliability in environments subject to complex multi-directional vibrations.
Research and development: Facilitating advanced sensor testing and validation where precise vibration measurement is critical.
Industrial monitoring systems: Supporting condition monitoring sensors used in rotating machinery and structural health monitoring to detect faults with improved measurement fidelity.
Related Standards
ISO 16063 series: This amendment is part of the broader ISO 16063 family focused on calibration methods for vibration and shock transducers, which includes various parts dedicated to different calibration procedures and transducer types.
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1 and Part 2: These directives govern the editorial and procedural rules applied during drafting and updating this standard.
ISO/TC 108 standards: Other related ISO standards managed by the Technical Committee addressing mechanical vibration, shock, and condition monitoring.
IEC standards for electrotechnical calibration: Given ISO’s cooperation with IEC, complementary standards from IEC may also be relevant for related electromechanical calibration methods.
By integrating the elliptical orbit methodology, ISO 16063-31:2009/Amd 1:2025 significantly advances the ability to assess and calibrate the transverse vibration sensitivity of transducers. This leads to enhanced measurement accuracy, broader application reliability, and stronger confidence in vibration and shock sensing technologies worldwide.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
