This part of the standard specifies methods for routine verification of the performance of AE equipment
comprising one or more sensing channels. It is intended for use by operators of the equipment under
laboratory conditions. Verification of the measurement characteristics is recommended after purchase of
equipment, modifications, use under extraordinary conditions, or if one suspects a malfunction. The
procedures described in this European Standard do not exclude other qualified methods, e.g. verification in
the frequency domain.
