IS/ISO 4866 : 2010 : Mechanical Vibration and Shock - Vibration of Fixed Structures - Guidelines for the Measurement of Vibrations and Evaluation of their Effects on Structures

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO 4866 : 2010 ‘Mechanical vibration and shock — Vibration of fixed structures — Guidelines for the measurement of vibrations and evaluation of their effects on structures’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Mechanical Vibration and Shock Sectional Committee and approval of the Mechanical Engineering Division Council.

This standard was originally published as IS 14884 : 2000 ‘Mechanical vibration and shock — Vibration of buildings — Guidelines for the measurement of vibration and evaluation of their effects on buildings’ which was identical with ISO 4866 : 1990. As ISO 4866 has been technically revised in 2010 the committee has decided to adopt this standard in a single number as IS/ISO 4866 : 2010 by superseding IS 14884 : 2000 and after the publication of this standard IS 14884 : 2000 shall be treated as withdrawn.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminology and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
