This European Standard specifies methods and acceptance criteria for assessing the electrical performance
of analogue and digital ultrasonic instruments for pulse operation using A-scan display, employed for manual
ultrasonic non-destructive examination with single or dual-element probes operating within the centre
frequency range 0,5 MHz to 15 MHz. Ultrasonic instruments for continuous waves are not included in this
standard. This standard may partly be applicable to ultrasonic instruments in automated systems but then
other tests can be needed to ensure satisfactory performance.
