About This Item
IEC 61161:2013 defines the technical reference for ultrasonics power measurement using radiation force balances, with performance requirements that support consistent laboratory evaluation. For engineering, testing, and procurement teams, IEC 61161:2013 is useful when comparing measurement methods, reviewing instrument suitability, or documenting compliance activities around ultrasonic power measurement. Its title indicates a focus on measurement practice and performance criteria, making it relevant for organizations that need traceable technical validation and disciplined testing workflows.
Overview of IEC 61161:2013
IEC 61161:2013 addresses how ultrasonic power measurements are performed with radiation force balances and what performance characteristics such equipment should meet. That makes it relevant to technical review, verification activities, and conformity assessment where measurement quality matters. As an original edition of the document, it serves as the primary compliance reference for organizations evaluating ultrasonic test methods, documenting engineering decisions, or aligning laboratory procedures with a defined technical document.
Compliance applications of IEC 61161:2013
This technical document is typically used in laboratory evaluation, equipment specification review, and quality workflows where ultrasonic output must be measured with repeatable results. It may support product evaluation, procurement checks, and internal technical assessment for organizations working with ultrasonic systems or related test setups. In practice, IEC 61161:2013 can help teams frame test methods, compare measurement capability, and prepare documentation for regulatory preparation or conformity assessment processes.
Importance of compliance with IEC 61161:2013
Following IEC 61161:2013 can improve measurement consistency and reduce uncertainty in ultrasonic power testing, which is important for engineering validation and risk management. Clear performance requirements help laboratories and manufacturers maintain operational consistency across testing workflows and support stronger quality assurance. For procurement and compliance teams, the document also provides a structured basis for reviewing measurement equipment, confirming technical suitability, and strengthening conformity assessment preparation.
