ISO 5344:2004规定了电动振动发生器系统的性能特征和性能测试条件，并提供了设备制造商可声明的附加设备特征列表。该信息可供用户或设备规范的编写者用于选择此类系统，并考虑其应用。 ISO 5344:2004建立了计算系统性能的程序，该系统由一个源的放大器和另一个源的可控震源组成。这种计算的系统性能不如在由实际振动器和放大器组成的系统上测量的性能精确，建议保留计算的力。可能需要单独指定所需可控震源和/或放大器接口数据的获取，尤其是如果要获取可控震源或放大器以添加到现有装置中。 还可以指定性能计算的责任。 ISO 5344:2004适用于产生正弦、随机和脉冲直线振动的设备。这意味着所有系统至少在较低水平上可用于正弦测试，因为随机和脉冲测试的样本响应评估和传递函数测量需要正弦能力。当指定随机能力时，意味着某些正弦能力也可用。类似地，当指定脉冲能力时，暗示某些正弦（但不一定是随机）能力可用。

ISO 5344:2004 specifies the performance characteristics and performance test conditions for electrodynamic vibration generator systems and provides a list of additional equipment characteristics that can be declared by the equipment manufacturer. This information can be used by the user or the writer of specifications for equipment for the selection of such a system, taking into account its application. ISO 5344:2004 establishes procedures for calculating the system performance of a system comprising an amplifier from one source and a vibrator from a different source. Such a calculated system performance is less precise than performance measured on a system comprising the actual vibrator and amplifier, and a reserve of calculated force is recommended. It can be desirable to specify separately the acquisition of needed vibrator and/or amplifier interface data, particularly if a vibrator or amplifier is to be acquired to add to an existing installation. It can also be desirable to specify the responsibility for the calculation of performance. ISO 5344:2004 is applicable to equipment producing sine, random and impulse rectilinear vibration. It is implied that all systems are usable for sine testing at least at a low level, since sine capability is needed for specimen response evaluation and transfer function measurements for random and impulse testing. When random capability is specified, it is implied that some sine capability is also available. Similarly, when impulse capability is specified, it is implied that some sine, but not necessarily random, capability is available.
