What is the purpose of ISO 17359?

ISO 17359 is specifically designed to provide guidelines for establishing and implementing effective condition monitoring programs for machinery and equipment. The standard emphasizes the importance of monitoring the health of assets to ensure optimal performance and to prevent unforeseen failures. By focusing on condition monitoring, the standard helps organizations develop a proactive maintenance strategy, enabling them to maintain operational efficiency and reduce downtime.

The choice related to quality benchmarks for products, defining roles in maintenance teams, or analyzing product life cycles does not align with the specific focus of ISO 17359. Instead, the standard expertly addresses the need for systematic condition monitoring, providing a framework for organizations to enhance their maintenance practices and reliability management through continuous assessment of equipment condition.
