What is BS 6794 - Land vehicles about?
BS 6794 is an International Standard that discusses the uses and technical specifications of land vehicles.
BS 6794 specifies a uniform method for reporting measured vibration data for all forms of land vehicles and work machines.
BS 6794 applies to data reporting that is to be used for certain types of structural testing of land vehicles and work machines or their components and to reporting data on vibration measured at the vehicle-occupant interface.
Who is BS 6794 - Land vehicles for?
BS 6794 on land vehicles is useful for:
- Manufacturers of land vehicles
- Suppliers of land vehicles
- Work machine operators and technicians
- Quality control and testing authorities
- Regulatory authorities
Why should you use BS 6794 - Land vehicles?
A land vehicle is a self-propelled device for carrying passengers, goods, and equipment, for example, cars, buses, highway trucks, and trains.
BS 6794 specifies a uniform method for reporting data in order to facilitate the comparing and compiling of data for the users. BS 6794 covers the analysis parameters to be reported so that the users can determine the statistical precision of the reported data.
BS 6794 discusses the reporting of the operating conditions, of the road or terrain conditions and of the work cycle (for work machines) as related to the reported vibration data. It emphasizes the need to include most of the relevant information on the curves or tables of results. BS 6794 encourages putting details and results in a complete form on a few pages. This facilitates compiling and comparing data and facilitates international use of the data. BS 6794 specifies complete and uniform reporting of parameters, methods, and results.
BS 6794 is applicable to original reports of measured data and to reports or other publications which assess, summarize, compare, or compile measured data from original reports. BS 6794 contributes towards more sophisticated and accurate structural testing. This helps manufacturers to design and manufacture better quality products for their users.
