BS EN 1032:199797/705385 DC-199700/706319 DC-2000BS EN 1032:2003
Scope
This European Standard specifies the determination of whole-body and hand-arm vibration emissions at operator
position(s) during testing of mobile machinery. The purpose of this European Standard is to assist technical
standardization committees responsible for specific types of machinery in preparing vibration test codes to ensure
that such vibration test codes
-are as homogeneous as possible with each individual test code having the same basic structure;
-are in full accordance with basic standards on measurement of vibration emission;
-reflect the latest technical knowledge of methods of determining the vibration emission from the specific family
of machinery under consideration;
-provide manufacturers with a standardized method for the determination and declaration of the vibration
emission value(s) of their machinery;
-enable the user of the machinery or the member of an inspection body to compare the vibration emission
values of different machinery and to verify the vibration emission values provided by the manufacturer.
This European Standard provides requirements for the preparation of vibration test codes, including guidelines for
the conditions under which the measurements shall be made (e.g. operating conditions). Information to be included
in a typical vibration test code is summarized in Annex A.
Vibration test codes based on this European Standard should define measuring procedures which provide accurate
and reproducible results which are as far as possible in agreement with values measured under real working
conditions. For determination of the magnitude of the vibration to be noted in the instruction handbook, this
European Standard requires operating conditions enabling the determination of the 75-percentile of the vibration
experienced at the operator's position during the mode of operation causing the highest vibration.
This European Standard applies to sitting and standing positions. It is applicable to all mobile machinery producing
periodic or random vibration with or without transients. Rotational vibration is not dealt with in this European
Standard.
This European Standard contains sufficient guidance for designing an appropriate test for machinery for which no
vibration test codes exist. It can also be used for the determination of vibration emission values of individual
machines.
This European Standard does not present limits or recommended vibration values.
In general, the emission values should not be used for assessment of the health risk. This European Standard
does not give any guidance or recommendations for determination of human exposure to vibration and shock.
