ISO 14694:2003给出了所有应用中风扇的振动和平衡极限规范，但仅用于空气循环的应用除外，例如吊扇和台式风扇。但是，它仅限于安装功率小于300 kW的所有类型的风扇，或最大功率为355 kW的商用标准电动机（遵循R20系列）。对于功率大于此值的风扇，适用限值为ISO 10816-3中给出的限值。如果装置中的风机功率在300 kW以上或以下，且是单一合同的标的，则制造商和买方应就使用的适当标准达成一致。这通常应以大多数单元为基础。 风机设备基础和安装实践超出ISO 14694:2003的范围。基础设计和风机安装通常不是风机制造商的职责。 完全可以预期，安装风机的基础将提供必要的支撑和稳定性，以满足风机出厂时的振动标准。 ISO 14694:2003仅涵盖风机的平衡或振动，未考虑风机振动对人员、设备或过程的影响。

ISO 14694:2003 gives specifications for vibration and balance limits of fans for all applications except those designed solely for air circulation, for example, ceiling fans and table fans. However, it is limited to fans of all types installed with a power of less than 300 kW or to commercially available standard electric motor with a maximum power of 355 kW (following an R20 series). For fans of greater power than this, the applicable limits are those given in ISO 10816 - 3. Where the fans in an installation have varying powers both above and below 300 kW, and have been the subject of a single contract, then the manufacturer and purchaser shall agree on the appropriate standard to be used. This should normally be based on the majority of units. Fan-equipment foundations and installation practices are beyond the scope of ISO 14694:2003. Foundation design and fan installation are not normally the responsibilities of the fan manufacturer. It is fully expected that the foundations upon which the fan is mounted will provide the support and stability necessary to meet the vibration criteria of the fan as it is delivered from the factory. ISO 14694:2003 is intended to cover only the balance or vibration of the fan and does not take into account the effect of fan vibration on personnel, equipment or processes.
