BS EN 61260-2:2016+A1:2017

Comprehensive Metrology and Measurement Standard

The BS EN 61260-2:2016+A1:2017 is a crucial British Standard that establishes the requirements and guidelines for the measurement of physical phenomena. This standard is an identical adoption of the European Standard EN 61260-2:2016/A1:2017 and the International Standard IEC 61260-2:2016/AMD1:2017, ensuring global harmonization and consistency in metrology practices.

Key Features and Benefits:

- Provides a standardized framework for the measurement of physical quantities, including acoustics, vibration, and other related phenomena- Ensures accurate, reliable, and reproducible measurements through the specification of technical requirements and test methods- Supports compliance with international regulations and industry best practices- Facilitates the exchange of measurement data and information across different organizations and applications- Enhances the quality, safety, and performance of products and services that rely on precise physical measurements

Technical Specifications:

- Covers the design, construction, and performance requirements for octave-band and fractional-octave-band filters used in the measurement of physical phenomena- Specifies the technical characteristics, including center frequencies, bandwidths, and filter performance parameters- Provides guidance on the calibration and verification of these measurement filters- Ensures compatibility and interoperability between different measurement systems and instruments

Compliance and Regulatory Benefits:

- Aligns with the requirements of the European Union's New Approach Directives, ensuring compliance for products and services sold within the EU market- Supports the harmonization of measurement practices across various industries, including acoustics, vibration, and environmental monitoring- Facilitates the exchange of measurement data and information between different organizations, enabling better collaboration and decision-making- Enhances the credibility and reliability of measurement results, which is crucial for regulatory compliance, product certification, and quality assuranceBy adopting the BS EN 61260-2:2016+A1:2017, organizations can demonstrate their commitment to metrology best practices, ensure the accuracy and reliability of their physical measurements, and maintain compliance with the latest international standards. This comprehensive standard is an essential tool for engineers, scientists, and professionals working in fields that rely on precise measurement of physical phenomena.
