This document gives guidance for the selection of vibration generating equipment used for vibration environmental testing, depending on the test requirements.

This guidance covers such aspects of selection as

—     the equipment type,

—     the model, and

—     some main components, excluding the control system.

NOTE 1        Some examples are given in Annex A.

NOTE 2        This document is primarily focused on determining functional specifications for equipment based on the requirements of a specific environmental test. More practical aspects of the selection (including target test definition and fixturing considerations) are covered in IEST-RP-DTE009.1.
