ISO 15548-1 specifies the characteristics of general-purpose eddy current instruments and provides methods for their measurement and verification.




The evaluation of these characteristics permits a well-defined description and comparability of eddy current instruments.




By careful choice of the characteristics, a consistent and effective eddy current examination system can be designed for a specific application.




If necessary, this standard may be completed by an application document specifying acceptance criteria for the characteristics of the eddy current instrument.




Where accessories are used, these are characterized using the principles of this part of ISO 15548-1 (e.d. additional external amplifiers).
