Full title and description

ISO 14694:2003/Amd 1:2010 — Industrial fans — Specifications for balance quality and vibration levels — Amendment 1. This one-page amendment updates or corrects elements of ISO 14694:2003, the International Standard that specifies vibration and balance limits for industrial fans.

Abstract

Amendment 1 to ISO 14694:2003 is a short (one-page) published amendment that applies to ISO 14694:2003 and provides editorial and/or technical changes to the original standard’s specifications for balance quality and vibration levels of industrial fans.

General information

• Status: Published / Valid.
• Publication date: 28 October 2010 (listed in some catalogs as 2010‑11 in the ISO record).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 23.120 (Ventilators, fans, air‑conditioners); 21.120.40 (Balancing and balancing machines).
• Edition / version: Amendment 1 to ISO 14694:2003 — Edition 1 (2010).
• Number of pages: 1 (amendment document is one page).

Scope

This amendment applies to ISO 14694:2003, which gives specifications for vibration and balance limits of industrial fans (all applications except those designed solely for air circulation). ISO 14694 covers fans up to (and typically below) about 300 kW; for fans of greater power the limits in ISO 10816 (and its successors) are applicable. The amendment itself is limited in extent (one page) and is intended to correct or clarify specific points in the 2003 edition.

Key topics and requirements

• Clarifications and corrections to balance quality classes and vibration‑limit tables in ISO 14694:2003.
• Application scope: fans of many types except those only for simple air circulation (e.g., ceiling/table fans).
• Reference and relationship to machine vibration standards for higher‑power machines (ISO 10816 / later ISO 20816 series).
• Measurement principles and interpretation remain defined in the parent standards (ISO 14695 and related documents).

Typical use and users

Used by manufacturers and designers of industrial fans, balance and vibration testing laboratories, maintenance and reliability engineers, procurement/specification writers, and certification/inspection bodies to ensure fans meet agreed balance quality and vibration limits and to interpret test results.

Related standards

ISO 14694:2003 (main document) and ISO 14695:2003 (method of measurement of fan vibration) are directly related. For higher‑power fans or where specified, ISO 10816 (and the later consolidated ISO 20816 series) provide applicable vibration evaluation criteria. Other fan and HVAC standards (for performance, safety and explosive atmospheres) may also be relevant in specific sectors.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is Amendment 1 (2010) to ISO 14694:2003 — a one‑page published amendment that modifies or clarifies parts of the original standard on balance quality and vibration levels for industrial fans.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It applies to the parent standard ISO 14694:2003 (specifications for balance quality and vibration limits of fans) and contains limited changes; the parent standard itself defines applicable vibration limits, balance quality classes and the general scope of application.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Fan manufacturers, test laboratories, maintenance and reliability engineers, technical procurement/specification teams, and standards bodies who need to ensure compliance with balance and vibration requirements for industrial fans.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: Amendment 1 (2010) is a published amendment to the 2003 edition. The parent standard ISO 14694:2003 has been confirmed in subsequent ISO reviews (and the amendment remains the recorded amendment to that edition). Users should check the ISO catalog or national standards bodies for the latest status or any newer revisions.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is an amendment to ISO 14694:2003; related documents include ISO 14695 (measurement methods) and the broader ISO 10816 / ISO 20816 series for vibration evaluation of larger or higher‑power machines.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: industrial fans; balance quality; vibration limits; fan vibration; ISO 14694; amendment; balancing; vibration testing.
