Vibration and Condition Monitoring. In particular it highlights the proposed revisions to ISO
18436-2 Vibration Analysis (VA) Qualification & Assessment(1). The BINDT third-party
implementation of which has already had the additional syllabus detail for the four categories of
Vibration Analyst sub-topic examples added. Also included is the latest status of revisions and
renumbering to the International Standards on balancing.
1. Introduction
The author has reported previously on the development of International Standards in the field of
condition monitoring and the progress of training, qualification and accreditation of personnel in
condition monitoring (2) (3) (4). This paper presents a further update on the current status of
International Standards in the field of vibration and condition monitoring, and in particular
developments in the re-issue and renumbering of International Standards in balancing, and in the
Vibration Analyst Qualification & Assessment scheme.

ISO Vibration and Condition Monitoring Standards
2.1
Overview of ISO Technical Committee 108
ISO Technical Committee (TC) 108 Mechanical Vibration & Shock, was originally established
in 1963 and its original scope included terminology, balancing, isolation & damping, methods
of testing, measurement & calibration.
Using existing national standards from countries including the UK, USA and Germany, this led
to the development of international vibration measurement guidelines such as ISO 2372(5).
These were later superseded by International Standards ISO 10816(6) and ISO 7919(7) series of
standards. ISO TC 108 has issued over 197 standards since its establishment in 1963.
ISO TC 108 is now called: "Mechanical vibration, shock and condition monitoring",
and its' scope(8) was extended to include condition monitoring:
"Standardization in the fields of mechanical vibration and shock and the effects of vibration and
shock on humans, machines, vehicles (air, sea, land and rail) and stationary structures, and of
the condition monitoring of machines and structures, using multidisciplinary approaches."
2.2
ISO Vibration Standards
Since ISO Technical Committee 108 was set up in 1963 it has published 185 vibration and shock
related International Standards, of which 157 are current. Many of these standards are required
references for the 4 Categories in the Vibration Analysis Qualification and Assessment standard
ISO 18436-2.

ISO Condition Monitoring Standards
During the early 1990s development of the technology of Condition Monitoring, and other
techniques such as Vibration Monitoring, Thermal Imaging and Tribology led to the
establishment of a new sub-committee (SC) under TC108.
This became TC108 SC5 Condition monitoring and diagnostics of machines.
TC108 SC5 has now issued 18 International Standards relating to Condition Monitoring and
Diagnostics since 2000, including the CM overview document, ISO 17359, Condition
monitoring and diagnostics of machines General guidelines(9) which was re-issued as a muchexpanded second edition in 2011.
In 2012, in order to clarify the scope of CM as being wider than just machines, the subcommittee title was changed to:
TC108 SC5 Condition monitoring and diagnostics of machine systems.
An overview of the current ISO CM standards subject areas is shown in Figure 3, with more
detail shown in Figure 4.

Qualification and Assessment

BINDT CM Certification
In the UK, BINDT has a well-established third-party certification scheme and runs examinations
for the various categories of CM practitioners. BINDT manages certification in compliance with
the appropriate parts of ISO 18436 for condition monitoring personnel in the following areas:
- Vibration Analysis
- Wear and Debris Analysis
- Infrared Thermography
- Acoustic Emission
- Ultrasonics
- Marine CM (in progress)
BINDT formally accredits Approved Training Organizations (ATO), and approves qualified
trainers. BINDT also manages the complete examination process. BINDT examinations are
formally invigilated sessions using sealed papers. The BINDT scheme also requires successfully
completion of a training examination before sitting a BINDT examination.
BINDT audits and manages Authorised Qualifying Bodies (AQBs) and Approved Examination
Centres (AEC) to conduct PCN examinations anywhere in the world. BINDT carries out audits
of training organisations to ensure that they meet the exacting requirements of the training and
qualification process. This requires compliance with training materials and examination
processes and procedures. BINDT maintain a list of their Approved Training Organisations(13)
(ATOs) on the BINDT website.
BINDT is itself accredited by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS)(14) for
personnel and quality systems certification activities, and is regularly audited by UKAS.
BINDT regularly audits all its ATOs. All such approved training organizations operate to
auditable quality systems such as ISO 9001.
The BINDT accreditation process is also available outside the UK. BINDT has schemes or
reciprocal recognition with several other countries and training organisations. These include
training establishments in other ISO member countries including the US Vibration Institute(15).
The syllabus for vibration practitioner is shown in Tables 2 & 3. An up-to-date copy of BINDT
CM GEN App D is available from the BINDT website(16). A current list of the International
Standards required for the various levels of the vibration certification is shown in Table 4.
Page 7
3.2
Compliance with ISO 18436
There are now many organisations worldwide which claim compliance with ISO 18436
qualification and assessment. It should be noted that these are not all third-party schemes and
may be second-party or even first party conformance. Definitions for these terms are included
below:
first-party conformity assessment activity
conformity assessment activity that is performed by the person or organization that provides the
object
second-party conformity assessment activity
conformity assessment activity that is performed by a person or organization that has a user
interest in the object
third-party conformity assessment activity
conformity assessment activity that is performed by a person or body that is independent of the
person or organization that provides the object, and of user interests in that object
certification process
all activities by which a certification body establishes that a person fulfils specified competence
requirements, including application, evaluation, decision on certification, surveillance and
recertification, use of certificates and logos/marks
(Ref: ISO/IEC 17000(17) & ISO/IEC 17024(18))

VA Syllabus Reference Materials
BINDT has commissioned a series of Condition Monitoring Handbooks to support the CM

accreditation schemes. The first of which were the Infrared Thermography Handbooks Volume
1(19) & 2(20) approved references in support of the ISO 18436-6 syllabus.
In 2010 BINDT issued the Vibration Monitoring and Analysis Handbook(21), an approved
reference for the ISO 18436-2 syllabus. It supports the VA training & certification available
through BINDT.
Further initiatives to support the Training process for Condition Monitoring include the
publication by ISO in 2010 of a compilation CD collection of over 200 ISO standards on
mechanical vibration, shock and condition monitoring. (22)
Vibration has 4 categories (Levels) specified and a summary of the ISO 18436-2 syllabus is
shown in Table 2. A more detailed training syllabus has been issued by BINDT in their vibration
analyst training and certification scheme management document CM GEN Appendix D(23). This
expanded annex including details of the knowledge required for each syllabus sub-topic. This is
attached in the Annexes at Table 3.
A list of standards currently required by the Vibration Qualification and Assessment scheme is
also attached in the Annexes at Table 4.

5. Conclusions
Qualification and assessment in the field of Condition Monitoring (CM) is now well established,
and the demand for third-party independently accredited assessment is increasing.
Progress continues in standardisation of Condition Monitoring and Diagnostics of Machines and
provides uniformity to processes, techniques and implementation. These International Standards
also ensure uniformity of personnel capabilities and qualification globally.
These qualification and certification initiatives have an international market, and have already
contributed to standardising condition monitoring and diagnostics processes and procedures.
They are having a positive impact throughout the asset management life cycle.
They ensure that certified CM practitioners utilise standard references, techniques and
procedures, whether they are specifying limits at the design stage, carrying out installation and
acceptance testing, or routine monitoring.
