Condition monitoring and diagnostics of machines - Requirements for qualification and assessment of personnel - Part 2: Vibration condition monitoring and diagnostics (ISO 18436-2:2014)

This part of ISO 18436 specifies requirements for the qualification (including training and relevant experience) and assessment of personnel performing machinery condition monitoring using vibration analysis. A certificate or declaration of conformity to the requirements of this standard, in accordance with ISO 18436-1, will provide recognition and evidence of the qualifications and competence of individuals to perform vibration measurements and analysis for machinery condition monitoring using vibration measurement equipment. This part of ISO 18436 specifies a four-category classification programme that is based on the technical areas delineated herein. A programme, administered by an assessment body, is developed to train and assess the competence of personnel whose duties require the appropriate theoretical and practical knowledge and relevant experience in vibration analysis for machinery condition monitoring.
