DIN ISO 18436-3:2013-05

This part of ISO 18436 defines the requirements for bodies operating training programmes for personnel who perform machinery condition monitoring, identify machine faults, and recommend corrective action. Procedures for training of condition monitoring and diagnostics personnel are specified. This part of ISO 18436 defines the requirements for bodies operating training programmes in the non-intrusive machine condition monitoring, diagnostic, and correction technologies. General requirements for training body personnel are contained in this part of ISO 18436. Specific requirements for personnel in condition monitoring and diagnostics are covered in other parts of ISO 18436. The German term "Qualifizierung" is the process of demonstrating whether an entity (activity or process, product, organization, or any combination thereof) is capable of fulfilling specified requirements. The German term "Qualifikation" is the demonstration of personal attributes, education, training and/or work experience. The International Standard ISO 18436-3:2012 "Condition monitoring and diagnostics of machines - Requirements for qualification and assessment of personnel - Part 3: Requirements for training bodies and the training process" has been prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 108 "Mechanical vibration, shock and condition monitoring", Subcommittee SC 5 "Condition monitoring and diagnostics of machine systems", the secretariat of which is held by ANSI (USA). The German collaboration was effected by Committee NA 001-03-06-05 (NALS/VDI C 6.5) "Schwingungsüberwachung" ("Vibration monitoring") of the Acoustics, Noise Control and Vibration Engineering Standards Committee (NALS) in collaboration with Committee NA 062-08-21 "Qualifizierung und Zertifizierung von Personal der zerstörungsfreien Prüfung" ("Qualification and certification of NDT personnel") at the Materials Testing Standards Committee (NMP).
