ISO 2017-2:2007制定了要求，以确保就铁路系统产生的振动和冲击隔离应用适当交换信息。 ISO 2017-2:2007适用于新铁路系统的建设。当用户希望解决铁路退化引起的新振动问题时，当新的环境土地利用规划要求到位时，或当在现有铁路系统附近进行新的振动敏感土地开发时，也可将其应用于先前安装的系统。 它适用于铁路环境中遇到的振动问题，但不解决铁路车辆（车厢）本身的振动问题。 ISO 2017-2:2007旨在对生产商和用户强调的问题（为什么、什么、何时以及如何隔离机械系统）给出适当的回答。

ISO 2017-2:2007 establishes requirements to ensure appropriate exchange of information regarding the application of isolation for vibrations and shocks generated by railway systems. ISO 2017-2:2007 is applicable to the construction of new railway systems. It may also be applied to previously installed systems when the user wishes to solve a new vibration problem arising from railroad degradation, when new environmental land use planning requirements are put in place, or when new vibration-sensitive land development occurs in proximity to existing railway systems. It applies to vibration problems encountered in a railway environment but does not address vibration problems within railway cars (carriages) themselves. ISO 2017-2:2007 intends to give appropriate responses to questions highlighted by the producer and users (why, what, when and how to isolate mechanical systems).
