Comprehensive Guide to ISO 7626-5 Vibration Testing of Structures Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

ISO 7626-5 is an international standard that specifies the requirements for vibration testing of structures, including buildings, bridges, and other types of structures. This standard is part of the ISO 7626 series, which covers various aspects of structure testing.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

The legal and regulatory framework surrounding ISO 7626-5 Vibration Testing of Structures testing is governed by international and national standards. In Europe, for example, the European Unions Construction Products Directive (CPD) requires that construction products meet specific performance requirements, including vibration resistance. Similarly, in the United States, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has established guidelines for evaluating the seismic response of bridges.

International and National Standards

The following international and national standards apply to ISO 7626-5 Vibration Testing of Structures testing:

  • ISO 7626-5:2011(E)

  • ASTM E1316-08 Standard Test Methods for Measuring Vibration

  • EN 1990:2002 Eurocode Basis of Design

  • TSE 800 (Turkish Standard) Building Code

    • Standard Development Organizations

    The following organizations are responsible for developing and maintaining standards related to ISO 7626-5 Vibration Testing of Structures:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)

    • Standard Evolution and Updates

    Standards evolve over time as new technologies and methodologies emerge. For example, the latest version of ISO 7626-5 was published in 2011, superseding the previous edition from 2002. The standard has undergone several revisions to reflect advances in testing technology and to align with other relevant standards.
