ISO 2631-1:1997 PDF

Scope: This section specifies methods for measuring periodic, random and transient whole-body vibration and points out the main factors that collectively determine the acceptable level of vibration exposure. Appendices B to D present current views and provide guidance on the possible effects of vibration on health, comfort and perception, and motion sickness. The frequency range considered is: 　——0.5Hz-80Hz for health, comfort and perception; 　——0.1Hz-0.5Hz for motion sickness. Although not designed for potential effects on human behavior, most of the guidance presented here on whole body vibration measurement can be applied in this area as well. This section also sets out principles for preferred methods of installing sensors for the purpose of determining human exposure. This section does not apply to blow-by-word impacts such as those resulting from vehicle accidents. This section applies to movements transmitted to the entire human body through supporting surfaces, including the feet of a standing person or the buttocks, back and feet of a sitting person or the support areas of a lying person. This type of vibration occurs in vehicles, machinery, buildings, and in the immediate vicinity of work.
