Mechanical vibration - Measurement and evaluation of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration - Part 1: General requirements (ISO 5349-1:2001)

Mechanische Schwingungen - Messung und Bewertung der Einwirkung von Schwingungen auf das Hand-Arm-System des Menschen - Teil 1: Allgemeine Anforderungen (ISO 5349-1:2001)

Dieser Teil von ISO 5349 legt allgemeine Anforderungen an die Messung und Angabe der Einwirkung von Schwingungen fest, die in drei orthogonalen Richtungen auf das Hand-Arm-System übertragen werden. Er definiert eine Frequenzbewertung sowie Bandbegrenzungsfilter, um einen Vergleich einheitlich ermittelter Messwerte zu ermöglichen. Die ermittelten Werte können verwendet werden, um schädliche Auswirkungen von Hand-Arm-Schwingungen im Frequenzbereich der Oktavbänder von 8 Hz bis 1000 Hz vorher-zusagen.
Dieser Teil von ISO 5349 gilt für periodische, stochastische und nichtperiodische Schwingungen. Vorläufig gilt dieser Teil von ISO 5349 auch im Zusammenhang mit Erregung durch wiederholt auftretende Stöße (Einzelstöße).
ANMERKUNG 1   Die Abhängigkeit zwischen der zeitlichen Einwirkung von wiederholt auftretenden Stößen und ihren Auswirkungen beim Menschen ist noch nicht in vollem Umfang bekannt. Die Anwendung dieses Teils von ISO 5349 für diese Art von Schwingungen sollte daher mit Vorsicht erfolgen.
Dieser Teil von ISO 5349 stellt eine Anleitung zur quantitativen Bestimmung der Belastung mit Hand-Arm-Schwingun-gen zur Verfügung, die sich aus der frequenzbewerteten Schwingbeschleunigung und der täglichen Einwirkungsdauer ergibt. Er legt keine Grenzwerte für eine unschädliche Schwingungs-exposition fest.
ANMERKUNG 2   Anhang C befasst sich mit der relativen Bedeutung verschiedener Charak-teristika von Schwingungsbelastungen, von denen angenommen wird, dass sie gesundheit-liche Auswirkungen haben.

Vibrations mécaniques - Mesurage et évaluation de l'exposition des individus aux vibrations transmises par la main - Partie 1: Exigences générales (ISO 5349-1:2001)

La présente partie de l'SO 5349 spécifie des exigences générales en matière de mesurage et de présentation de l'exposition aux vibrations transmises par la main selon trois axes orthogonaux. Elle définit une pondération fréquentielle et des filtres limiteurs de bande afin de permettre une comparaison uniforme des mesurages. Les valeurs obtenues peuvent être utilisées pour prévoir les effets contraires des vibrations transmises par la main sur la gamme de fréquences couverte par les bandes d'octave comprises entre 8 Hz et 1 000 Hz.  La présente partie de l'ISO 5349 est applicable aux vibrations périodiques ainsi qu'aux vibrations aléatoires ou non périodiques. Elle est applicable aussi, provisoirement, aux excitations répétées du type choc (impact).  
NOTE 1 La dépendance en fonction du temps de la réponse des individus aux chocs répétés n'est pas entièrement connue.  Appliquer la présente partie de l'ISO 5349 à ces vibrations avec la plus grande prudence.  La présente partie de l'ISO 5349 fournit des indications pour l'évaluation de l'exposition aux vibrations transmises par la main, spécifiée en termes d'accélération de la vibration pondérée en fréquence et de durée d'exposition quotidienne. Elle ne définit pas de limites admissibles d'exposition.  
NOTE 2 L'annexe C traite de l'importance relative approximative des diverses caractéristiques de l'exposition aux vibrations qui sont censées avoir des répercussions sur la santé.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical
committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in
liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this part of ISO 5349 may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard ISO 5349-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 108, Mechanical vibration and
shock, Subcommittee SC 4, Human exposure to mechanical vibration and shock.
This first edition of ISO 5349-1 cancels and replaces ISO 5349:1986, of which it constitutes a technical revision. It
is, in most respects, compatible with its predecessor, but differs from it technically in several important respects.
In the previous version, the evaluation of vibration exposure was based on the directional component with the
greatest frequency-weighted root-mean-square acceleration. In the present version, the evaluation is based on the
“vibration total value”, i.e. the root-sum-of-squares of the three frequency-weighted root-mean-square component
values. This change recognizes the fact that the vibration characteristics of some power tool types are not
dominated by a single directional component.
Vibration exposures based on the root-sum-of-squares method will have values greater than those reported for a
single direction of vibration. Measurement of vibration in three axes will result in a vibration total value of up to
1,7 times (typically between 1,2 and 1,5 times) the magnitude of the greatest component. For data obtained in
accordance with ISO 5349:1986, the vibration total value can be calculated from the three component values as
shown in 4.5 of this part of ISO 5349. Where only the greatest single-axis value is available, the vibration total
value shall be estimated from this value using a suitable multiplying factor as discussed in 4.5.
The daily vibration exposure in accordance with this part of ISO 5349 is based on the 8-h energy-equivalent
acceleration value. The previous version used a reference duration of 4 h. The change to the more conventional
8-h reference duration brings the evaluation of vibration exposure into line with the “time-weighted average”
procedures commonly used for the evaluation of human exposures to noise and to chemical substances. The use
of the 8-h reference duration is purely a matter of convention and does not imply that a “typical” daily exposure
duration is 8 h. Conversion of 4-h equivalent magnitudes to 8-h values is achieved easily, by applying a multiplying
factor of 0,7.
The frequency weighting previously had a slope of zero at frequencies below 16 Hz and –6 dB per octave at higher
frequencies and applied over the frequency range covered by the octave bands from 8 Hz to 1 000
