IEC 61373:2010规定了用于铁路车辆的设备的测试要求，这些设备随后由于铁路运营环境的性质而受到振动和冲击。为了确保设备的质量是可接受的，它必须经受合理持续时间的测试，模拟其整个预期寿命期间的使用条件。与上一版相比，主要技术变化如下: -计算加速比的方法的改变； -增加根据本标准部分认证的概念； -增加了根据服务数据计算功能RMS值或根据ASD水平计算RMS值的指南。

IEC 61373:2010 specifies the requirements for testing items of equipment intended for use on railway vehicles which are subsequently subjected to vibrations and shock owing to the nature of railway operational environment. To gain assurance that the quality of the equipment is acceptable, it has to withstand tests of reasonable duration that simulate the service conditions seen throughout its expected life. The main technical changes with regard to the previous edition are as follows:
- change of the method to calculate the acceleration ratio;
- addition of the notion of partially certified against this standard;
- addition of guidance for calculating the functional RMS value from service data or the RMS value from ASD levels.
