DIN EN 14253:2008 Mechanical vibration - Measurement and calculation of occupational exposure to whole-body vibration with reference to health - Practical guidance(includes Amendment A1:2007); English version of DIN EN 14253:2008-02
This European Standard provides guidelines for the measurement and evaluation of whole-body vibration at the
workplace.
This European Standard describes the precautions to be taken to make representative vibration measurements
and to determine the daily exposure time for each operation in order to calculate the daily exposure value
standardized to an 8 h reference period. This European Standard provides a means to determine the relevant
operations that should be taken into account when determining the vibration exposure.
This European Standard applies to situations where people are exposed to whole-body vibration at the workplace,
transmitted through the buttocks for a seated person or through the feet for a standing person.
This European Standard is restricted to the evaluation of exposure to whole-body vibration using quantities derived
from frequency-weighted root-mean-square acceleration. The frequency range considered is 0,5 Hz to 80 Hz.
Where the vibration includes shocks or impacts, methods in this European Standard may underestimate the
severity of the exposure. There is a need to assess the risks arising from exposure to whole-body shocks and high
crest factor vibration. Methods for this are beyond the scope of this European Standard.
