DIN ISO 17359:2018-05

This International Standard provides guidance for condition monitoring and diagnostics of machines using parameters such as vibration, temperature, tribology, flow rate, contamination, power and speed typically associated with performance, condition and quality criteria. The evaluation of machine function and condition may be based on performance, condition or product quality. It sets out general procedures to be considered when setting up a condition monitoring programme for all machines, and includes references to other International Standards and other documents required or useful in this process. This International Standard presents an overview of a generic procedure recommended to be used when implementing a condition monitoring programme, and provides further detail on the key steps to be followed. It introduces the concept of directing condition monitoring activities towards root cause failure modes, and describes the generic approach to setting alarm criteria, carrying out diagnosis and prognosis and improving the confidence in diagnosis and prognosis, which are developed further in other International Standards.
