This part of ISO 8528 describes a procedure for measuring and evaluating the external mechanical vi-bration behaviour of generating sets at the measuring points stated in that International Standard.
It applies to RIC engine driven AC generating sets for fixed and mobile installations with rigid and/or resilient mountings. It is applicable for land and marine use, excluding generating sets used on aircraft or those used to propel land vehicles and locomotives.
For some specific applications (essential hospital supplies, high rise buildings, etc.) supplementary re-quirements may be necessary. The provisions of this part of ISO 8528 should be regarded as a basis.
For generating sets driven by other reciprocating-type prime movers (e.g. sewage gas engines, steam en-gines), the provisions of this part of ISO 8528 should be regarded as a basis.
