T1 - Standardization in fibre-optic sensing for structural safety - activities in the ISHMII and IEC T2 - Smart sensor phenomena, technology, networks, and systems integration 2015 (Proceedings of SPIE) N2 - Fiber-optic sensors are increasingly established in the sensor market. Their advantages have unquestionably been verified by numerous demonstrations to enhance the operational performance of aged structures or to monitor the structural behavior of safety-relevant structures or their components. However, there are some barriers in use due to a lack of extensive standardization of fiber-optic sensors. This leads very often to restraints in the user’s community. The paper shows the status in international standardization of fiber-optic sensors as well as current activities in leading institutions such as IEC and ISHMII and others with the purpose of providing relevant standards for a broader use of selected fiber-optic sensor technologies.

T1 - The role of standardization in establishing new monitoring technologies - example fibre-optic sensors T2 - SHMII-7 - 7th International conference on structural health monitoring of intelligent infrastructure (Proceedings) N2 - Sensors for assessment of the structure’s behaviour must work durably and reliably. Even if the performance of produced and delivered sensor is well specified, the sensor's strain characteristics and the performance of an applied sensor can significantly differ from the virgin sensor’s performance. The quality and appropriateness of installation decides over the long-term operability and getting reliable measurement results. The paper shows how important a clear terminology is, which problems might occur when sensor are not well characterized according to Standards or guidelines. Short outlook to experimental methods providing clear knowledge and appropriate Validation of the sensor’s performance for a defined measurement task is given. Finally, the state of-the-art in fibre-optic sensor Standardization is given.
