ISO 10816 Vibration Severity Chart


ISO 10816 was released in August 2000, establishes the general conditions and procedures for measurement and evaluation of vibrations using measurements made on the non-rotating parts of machines. It also provides general evaluation criteria related to both operational monitoring and acceptance testing established primarily with regard to securing reliable long term operation of the machine.

ISO 10816-3 separates the working conditions into four zones:

  • Zone A Green: Vibration values from machines just put into operation.

  • Zone B Yellow: continuous operation without any restrictions.

  • Zone C Orange: condition is acceptable only for a limited period of time.

  • Zone D Red: Dangerous vibration values - damage could occur at any time.

It also defines four groups of machines, according to their size, base and purpose.
