Shock provides the information to the shock resistance properties. A considerable number of standards exist with regard to the assessment of machine shock. Example:

• Shock resistance according to EN 60068-2-27: ≤ 100 g (981 m/s2)
• IEC 60068-2-27:2008 - Half-sine of 15 or 5 g peak amplitude and a duration of 11 or 30 msec.

Vibration provides the information to the vibration severity. A considerable number of standards exist with regard to the assessment of machine vibrations; the following list does not claim to be exhaustive:

• Vibration resistance according to EN 60068-2-6 at 5Hz – 2kHz: ≤ 10 g (98.1 m/s2)
• DIN ISO 5348 - Mechanical vibration and shock - Mechanical mounting of accelerometers
• DIN ISO 10816 - Mechanical vibration - Evaluation of machine vibration by measurements on non-rotating parts
• DIN ISO 7919-3 - Mechanical vibration - Evaluation of machine vibration by measurements on rotating shafts
• DIN ISO 20816-1 - Mechanical vibration - Measurement and evaluation of machine vibration
