16、ion of national standards bodies(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISOtechnical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has beenestablished has the right to be represented on that committee.
17、International organizations, governmental andnon-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the InternationalElectrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.International Standards are drafted in accordance with t
18、he rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standardsadopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as anInternational Standard requires approval by
19、at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patentrights.

23、t system andprovides methods for their measurement and verification.The evaluation of these characteristics permits a well-defined description and comparability of an eddy currentequipment.By careful choice of the characteristics, a consistent and effective eddy current examination system can bedesi
24、gned for a specific application.Where accessories are used, these are characterised using the principles of this part of ISO 15548.This part of ISO 15548 does not give the extent of verification nor acceptance criteria for the characteristics.These are given in the application documents.2 Normative

27、plemented shall be specified. A system comprises the instrument, interconnecting elements (e.g.cable and slip rings), probe arrangement, mechanical arrangement, accessories and reference pieces.BS EN ISO 15548-3:2008ISO 15548-3:2008(E)2 ISO 2008 All rights reservedThe general characteristics of a sy
28、stem include the following:a) Physical characteristics: throughput speed; scanning path; mechanical arrangement and settings and their interaction with the product to be tested.b) Calibration-related characteristics: response to a reference block; correlation of response with inferred parameters: co
29、ating thickness, crack depth, etc.c) Functional characteristics: instrument and accessory settings accessible on knobs or displays; balance and origin of complex plane display; dynamic range of test system in amplitude and phase.4.2 AccessoriesThese are functional units that may be integrated into,
30、or added to, the basic instrument, which have not beenidentified in the foregoing text, for example, lift-off compensation system, marking system, magnetic saturationunit, demagnetizing arrangements, data acquisition and analysis software.The function of these units shall be described and their char
31、acteristics shall be stated.Where an accessory influences the test result, it shall undergo a specific verification in accordance with awritten procedure.5 Verification5.1 GeneralFor a consistent and effective eddy current examination, it is necessary to verify that the performance of thecomponent p
32、arts of the eddy current test system is maintained within acceptable limits.The physical condition of the reference pieces shall be verified to be within acceptable limits before being usedto verify the system or probes.The measuring equipment used for verification shall be in a known state of calib
33、ration.For a better understanding, the verification procedure is identically described in all three parts of ISO 15548.5.2 Levels of verificationThere are three levels of verification. Each level defines the time intervals between verification and thecomplexity of the verification.BS EN ISO 15548-3:
34、2008ISO 15548-3:2008(E) ISO 2008 All rights reserved 3It is understood that initial type testing has already been done by the manufacturer or under his control.a) Level 1: Global functional checkA verification is performed at regular intervals of time on the eddy current test system, using reference
35、blocks to verify that the performance is within specified limits.The verification is usually performed at the examination location.The time interval and the reference pieces are defined in the verification procedure.b) Level 2: Detailed functional check and calibrationA verification on an extended t
36、ime scale is performed to ensure the stability of selected characteristics of theeddy current instrument, probe, accessories and reference blocks.c) Level 3: CharacterisationA verification is performed on the eddy current instrument, probe accessories and reference blocks toassess conformity with th
37、e characteristics supplied by the manufacturer.The organization requiring the verification shall specify the characteristics to be verified.The main features of verification are shown in Table 1.5.3 Verification procedureThe characteristics to be verified are dependent on the application. The essent
38、ial characteristics and the levelof verification shall be specified in a verification procedure.The examination procedure for the application shall refer to the verification procedure. This can restrict thenumber of characteristics to be verified for a defined application.Sufficient data on the char
39、acteristics featured in an instrument, probe and reference block shall be provided, inorder that verification may be performed within the scope of this part of ISO 15548.5.4 Corrective actionsLevel 1: When the performance is not within the specified limits, a decision shall be made concerning thepro
40、duct examined since the previous successful verification. Corrective actions shall be made to bring theperformance within the acceptable limits.Level 2: When the deviation of the characteristic is greater than the acceptable limits specified by themanufacturer or in the application document, a decis
41、ion shall be made concerning the instrument, the probe orthe accessory being verified.Level 3: When the characteristic is out of the acceptable range specified by the manufacturer or by theapplication document, a decision shall be made concerning the instrument, the probe or the accessory beingverif

It shall be carried out on
45、the system considered as a global entity.The implementation of the functional verification of a system is specific to each application, and requires aprocedure to be defined in the application document and stating at least: periodicity of the verification; conditions triggering a verification: e.g.
46、replacement of one of the elements of the system.This implementation includes the following steps: setting and/or calibration of the system for the verification; assessment of the acceptable limits of performance; verification of specified items: at least signal-to-noise ratio for reference signals,
47、 phase and amplituderesponse on reference blocks, stability of balance; measurement method for each item.If the results of the measurements indicate that the performance is out of the acceptable limits, this shall bereported and corrective actions shall be made to bring the performance within the ac
48、ceptable limits.These actions could be: recalibration of the system; level 2 or level 3 verification for one or more elements of the system.All of the product examined since the previous successful verification is considered as not examined and thedecision made concerning this product shall be repor
