This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 18563-3:2015) which has been technicallyrevised.
The main changes are as follows:
- integration of matrix array probes;- deletion of group 1 and 2 tests; addition of a clause on the use of imaging for plete system verification (9.4.3] as a simplification fora more functional standard (characterisation of beams moved to Annex A):
addition of signal processing techniques using arrays (e.g. total focusing technique (TFM)) in the scope.

Completesystems Part 3:
1Scope
This document addresses ultrasonic test systems implementing array probes for contact technique (withor without wedge) or for immersion technique with centre frequencies in the range of 0 5 MHz to 10 MHz.
This document provides methods and acceptance criteria for determining the pliance of the pleteverification of the absence of degradation of the system.
The methods are notintended to prove the suitability ofthe system for particular applications but are intendedto prove the capability of the plete system (used for an application) to operate correctly according to the settings used. Tests can be performed on individual ultrasonic beams (for phased array technique see 94.4)or on resulting images (for phased array technique and total focusing technique see 94.3).
The tests can be limited to the functions that are intended to be used for certain appliation.
This document does not cover the sensitivity setting of the system for a specific application. Nor does itapply to the characterization or verification of the mechanical scanning equipment. It is intended that these items will be covered by the test procedure.
This document does not address the phased array technique using tandem technique.

NOTE Unless stated otherwise in this document TFM' and TFM technique' refer to the total focusing techniqueas defined in ISO 23243 and to related techniques see for example ISO 23865 and ISO 23234.
