The purpose of this standard is to identify the functional characteristics of a general purpose eddy current equipment and to provide methods for their measurement and verification. The evaluation of these characteristics will permit a well defined description and comparability of an eddy current equipment. By careful choice of the characteristics, a consistent and effective eddy current examination system can be designed for a specific application. Where accessories are used, these should be characterised using the principles of this standard. This standard does not give acceptance criteria for the characteristics.
