Recent and future developments
• Acoustics– Reciprocity calibration system in conformance with IEC 60194-2:
2009• LSP1 & LSP2• Magnitude and phase
– Acquired a commercial reciprocity calibration system to be implemented during 2012
• Vibration– Extended low frequency capability down to 0,4 Hz– Developing a system for measuring transverse sensitivity of
accelerometers in compliance with ISO 16063-31– Designed an air-bearing exciter table. Performance validation to
commence later this year

Recent and future developments
• Ultrasound– Finalising the appointment of an Underwater
Acoustics/Ultrasound metrologist– Re-establish the NMISA underwater Acoustic National Standard– Initiate a project plan to establish Ultrasound Power
measurement standards at the NMISA

Development & Comparison Activities
• Acoustics– Participation in CCAUV.A-K5 software validation project– CCAUV.A-K5– APMP.AUV.A-S1– Reciprocity calibration of LSP1 & LSP2 microphones

Development & Comparison Activities
• Vibration– CCAUV.V-K2– AFRIMETS.AUV.V-S2 (Pilot laboratory)– APMP.AUV.V-S1– AFRIMETS.AUV.V-S3– Primary calibration of accelerometers < 1 Hz– Low frequency air-bearing exciter table– Transverse sensitivity calibration of accelerometers (ISO 16063-
31)
