Mechanical vibration - Hand-held and hand-guided machinery - Principles for evaluation of vibration emission (ISO 20643:2005)
This document provides the basis for the drafting of vibration test codes for hand-held and hand-guided powerdriven machinery. It specifies the determination of hand-transmitted vibration emission in terms of frequencyweighted root-mean-square (r.m.s.) acceleration during type testing. For machines where vibration test codes do not exist, it may also be used for determination of emission values and contains sufficient guidance for designing an appropriate test. NOTE Vibration test codes based on this document should define measuring procedures which provide controlled, repeatable and reproducible results which are, as far as possible, in agreement with the vibration values measured at the machine-hand contact surfaces under real working conditions and for which the uncertainties of measurement are quantified. This document is applicable to hand-held power tools (e.g. chipping hammers, sanders), hand-guided powered machines (e.g. lawn mowers, single-axle tractors, vibratory rollers) and other types of powered machines fitted with handles, guiding beams or similar means of control. It is applicable to machinery of all power sources (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, internal combustion engine, etc.). It does not apply to fixed machinery in which the vibration is transmitted to the hands of the user through the workpiece. This document is not applicable to vibration transmitted from steering wheels or control levers of mobile machinery where the operator's position is on the machine, see EN 1032. It is restricted to translational vibration measured in three orthogonal directions at the hand-machine interface. This document should be applied with caution to machines producing single and repetitive shocks with a frequency of occurrence lower than 5 Hz. For such machines, it is not known whether frequency-weighted root-mean-square acceleration values are related to the risks to health and additional measurements may be required. When developing vibration test codes for such machines the information in CEN ISO/TS 15694 should be considered. This document is not applicable to vibration test codes published before the date of publication of this document by CEN and, when used as test code, to hand-held and hand-guided machinery manufactured before that date. This document does not present limits or recommended vibration values. It does not give any guidance or recommendations for determination of human exposure to vibration at the workplace. For such information, reference is made to EN ISO 5349-1 and EN ISO 5349-2.
Mechanische Schwingungen - Handgehaltene und handgeführte Maschinen - Grundsätzliches Vorgehen bei der Ermittlung der Schwingungsemission (ISO 20643:2005)
Dieses Dokument stellt die Grundlage für die Erstellung von Schwingungsmessnormen für handgehaltene und
handgeführte kraftbetriebene Maschinen dar. Es legt die Ermittlung der Hand-Arm-Schwingungen, angegeben
als Effektivwert der frequenzbewerteten Beschleunigung, während der Typprüfung (Messung von Maschinenkennwerten)
fest. Es kann auch zur Ermittlung der Schwingungsemissionswerte (Schwingungskennwerte)
solcher Maschinen herangezogen werden, für die keine Schwingungsmessnormen vorliegen, und stellt eine
hinreichende Anleitung zur Gestaltung einer geeigneten Prüfung dar.
ANMERKUNG Schwingungsmessnormen, die auf diesem Dokument beruhen, sollten Verfahren zur Ermittlung von
Maschinenkennwerten festlegen, welche wiederholbare und vergleichbare Ergebnisse unter kontrollierten Bedingungen
liefern, die so weit wie möglich in Übereinstimmung mit den Schwingungswerten an den Kontaktflächen zwischen Hand
und Maschine sind, die unter realen Arbeitsbedingungen gemessen werden, und deren Messunsicherheit quantifiziert wird.
Dieses Dokument gilt für handgehaltene Maschinen (z. B. Meißelhammer, Schwingschleifer), handgeführte
Maschinen (z. B. Rasenmäher, Einachs-Traktor, Rüttelwalze) und andere Maschinenarten, die mit Griffen,
Holmen oder ähnlichen Lenkvorrichtungen versehen sind. Es gilt für motorbetriebene Maschinen, die sich aus
beliebiger Fremdenergie speisen (elektrisch, hydraulisch, pneumatisch, Verbrennungsmotor usw.).
Es gilt nicht für stationäre Maschinen, bei denen die Schwingungen über das Werkstück auf die Hände der
Bedienungsperson (des Beschäftigten) übertragen werden.
Dieses Dokument ist nicht auf die Schwingungen anwendbar, die von Lenkrädern oder Steuerhebeln
(Stellteilen) beweglicher Maschinen ausgehen, bei denen sich der Arbeitsplatz der Bedienungsperson auf der
Maschine befindet (siehe EN 1032).
Vibration mécanique - Machines tenues et guidées à la main - Principes pour l'évaluation d'émission de vibration (ISO 20643:2005)
L'ISO 20643:2005 fournit la base pour l'élaboration des codes d'essai de vibrations pour les machines à moteur tenues à la main et guidées à la main. Elle spécifie la détermination de l'émission vibratoire en terme de moyenne quadratique (r.m.s) d'accélération pondérée en fréquence pendant l'essai de type. Pour les machines où le code d'essai de vibrations n'existe pas, elle peut être utilisée également pour la détermination de valeurs d'émission et comporte suffisamment d'informations pour la mise en place d'un essai. Elle est applicable aux machines à moteur portatives (par exemple marteaux burineurs, ponceuses), aux machines guidées à la main (par exemple tondeuses à gazon, tracteurs à essieu unique, compacteurs vibrants) et aux autres types de machines à moteur munies de poignées, de manches de guidage ou d'autres moyens de commande similaires. Elle est applicable aux machines fonctionnant avec tout type de puissance non manuelle (électrique, hydraulique, pneumatique, moteur à combustion interne, etc. ). Elle ne s'applique pas aux machines fixes pour lesquelles les vibrations sont transmises aux mains de l'opérateur via la pièce ainsi qu'aux vibrations transmises par les volants de direction ou les leviers de commande des machines mobiles quand la position de l'opérateur est sur la machine.
Mehanske vibracije - Prenosni ročni in ročno vodeni stroji - Načela vrednotenja oddajanja vibracij (ISO 20643:2005)
Ta dokument podaja osnovo za pripravo osnutkov preskusnih številk vibracij za prenosne ročne in ročno vodene stroje s pogonsko enoto. Določa ugotavljanje oddajanja vibracij, ki se prenašajo na roke, glede na efektivno vrednost (r.m.s.) frekvenčno uravnoteženega pospeška med preskušanjem. Pri strojih, ki nimajo preskusnih številk vibracij, se lahko uporabi tudi za ugotavljanje količine oddajanja, pri čemer vsebuje tudi zadostna navodila za načrtovanje primernega preskusa. OPOMBA Preskusne številke vibracij, ki temeljijo na tem dokumentu, naj bi opredelile merilne postopke, ki zagotavljajo nadzorovane in ponovljive rezultate, ki so v največji meri skladne s količino vibracij, ki se izmeri na površinah, kjer se stikata roka in stroj, ter so pridobljene pod resničnimi delovnimi pogoji, pri čemer so za njih opredeljene spremenljivosti merjenja. Ta dokument se uporablja za prenosna ročna orodja (npr. razbijalna kladiva, brusilniki), ročno vodene stroje (npr. kosilnice, enoosni traktorji, vibracijske valjarje) in druge vrste strojev s pogonsko enoto, ki imajo nameščene ročaje, vodilne žarke ali podobne načine upravljanja. Uporablja se za stroje, ki uporabljajo vse vire energije (električne, hidravlične, pnevmatične, motorje z notranjim izgorevanjem idr.). Ne uporablja se za pritrjene stroje, pri katerih se vibracije na roke uporabnika prenašajo prek obdelovanca. Ta dokument se ne uporablja za vibracije, ki se prenašajo prek volanov ali kontrolnih vzvodov mobilnih naprav na mestu za upravljavca stroja, (glej standard EN 1032). Omejen je na prevodne vibracije, ki se izmerijo v treh pravokotnih smereh na vmesniku ročnega stroja. Pri uporabi tega dokumenta je potrebna posebna pazljivost pri strojih, ki proizvajajo enotne in ponovljive sunke s pogostostjo ponavljanja, ki je nižja od 5 Hz. Pri takih strojih ni znano, ali so efektivne vrednosti frekvenčno uravnoteženega pospeška povezane z zdravstvenimi tveganji, zato so potrebne dodatne meritve. Pri razvijanju testnih številk vibracij za te stroje je treba upoštevati informacije v standardu CEN ISO/TS 15694. Ta dokument se ne uporablja za testne številke vibracij, ki so bile objavljene, preden je odbor CEN izdal ta dokument, ter za prenosne ročne in ročno vodene stroje, ki so bili izdelani pred tem datumom in kadar se uporabljajo kot preskusne številke. Ta dokument ne predpisuje omejitev ali priporočenih vrednosti vibracij. Ne podaja navodil ali priporočil za ugotavljanje človekove izpostavljenosti vibracijam na delovnem mestu.

ISO 20643:2005(E)
Introduction
Human exposure to mechanical vibration from hand-held or hand-guided machinery can interfere with comfort,
working efficiency and, in some circumstances, health and safety. According to EN ISO 12100-2 the risks created
by vibrating machinery need to be minimized and the residual risk from vibration need to be noted in the relevant
instruction handbook. This, ideally, will be based on the vibration emission magnitude reported in accordance with
this document or the relevant vibration test code, but additional information for use may be required (see Clause 6
in EN ISO 12100-2:2003).
It is possible that the type test method may not identify all the mechanisms that generate vibration when the
machine is used in the real operational environment. Factors such as the workpiece, the process and the operator
can have an important influence on the vibration magnitudes. For this reason the type test measurements cannot
replace field measurements to evaluate vibration exposure at the workplace, but should be sufficiently
representative to be able to be used for preliminary assessment of risk.
Vibration magnitudes in type tests shall be within the range of measurements made in the field, but with less
variability. Type tests require accurate and reproducible conditions. It is essential that different laboratories obtain
the same results within specified limits. This requires that the process or way in which the machine is measured is
precisely defined. The operating conditions should be well defined, they should preferably be a real process, typical
of that for which the machine is designed. If it is intended to be used for a variety of tasks and the vibration is
affected significantly by the task, then more than one task might be used in determination of vibration emission. In
some cases an artificial process may be used which is not in line with the typical use of the machine in the field but
which provides equivalent data. If two machines produce significantly different magnitudes of vibration under real
conditions, then the test should be capable of demonstrating this difference.
This document is intended to assist technical standardization committees responsible for specific types of
machinery in preparing vibration test codes to ensure that such vibration test codes:
— enable users to make comparisons and to check the declared vibration emission values;
— are as homogeneous as possible with each individual test code having the same basic structure;
— are in full accordance with basic type-B standards on measurement of vibration emissions;
— reflect the latest technical knowledge of methods of determining the vibration emissions from the specific
family of machinery under consideration.
A vibration test code for a family of machinery prepared in accordance with this document:
a) produces vibration emission data which allow the determination of the vibration state-of-the-art for a family of
machinery and the identification of a machine which has significantly greater or smaller vibration emission;
b) produces vibration emission values and uncertainties suitable for comparing the emissions of machinery of the
same type irrespective of the date or location of the testing;
c) produces vibration emission values and uncertainties corresponding to the upper quartile of vibration
magnitudes resulting from intended uses of the machinery;
d) specifies the operating conditions of the machine during testing that are, so far as practicable, representative of
normal use;
e) identifies parameters that have a significant influence on the vibration emission of the machinery;
f) specifies installation and mounting conditions of transducers, measurement positions and measurement
directions;

h) requires recording of the values of machinery operating parameters that may influence vibration emission.
This document can be used, in the absence of an agreed vibration test code, as a guide to determine vibration
emission values and to define test parameters that may influence vibration emission to be recorded.
This document is a type-B standard as stated in EN ISO 12100-1.
The provisions of this document may be supplemented or modified by a type-C standard. However, for machines
which are covered by the scope of a type-C standard and which have been designed and built according to the provisions of

1 Scope
This document provides the basis for the drafting of vibration test codes for hand-held and hand-guided power-
driven machinery. It specifies the determination of hand-transmitted vibration emission in terms of frequency-
weighted root-mean-square (r.m.s.) acceleration during type testing. For machines where vibration test codes do
not exist, it may also be used for determination of emission values and contains sufficient guidance for designing
an appropriate test.
NOTE Vibration test codes based on this document should define measuring procedures which provide controlled,
repeatable and reproducible results which are, as far as possible, in agreement with the vibration values measured at the
machine-hand contact surfaces under real working conditions and for which the uncertainties of measurement are quantified.
This document is applicable to hand-held power tools (e.g. chipping hammers, sanders), hand-guided powered
machines (e.g. lawn mowers, single-axle tractors, vibratory rollers) and other types of powered machines fitted with
handles, guiding beams or similar means of control. It is applicable to machinery of all power sources (electrical,
hydraulic, pneumatic, internal combustion engine, etc.).
It does not apply to fixed machinery in which the vibration is transmitted to the hands of the user through the
workpiece.
This document is not applicable to vibration transmitted from steering wheels or control levers of mobile machinery
where the operator's position is on the machine, see EN 1032.
It is restricted to translational vibration measured in three orthogonal directions at the hand-machine interface.
This document should be applied with caution to machines producing single and repetitive shocks with a frequency
of occurrence lower than 5 Hz. For such machines, it is not known whether frequency-weighted root-mean-square
acceleration values are related to the risks to health and additional measurements may be required. When
developing vibration test codes for such machines the information in CEN ISO/TS 15694 should be considered.
This document is not applicable to vibration test codes published before the date of publication of this document by
CEN and, when used as test code, to hand-held and hand-guided machinery manufactured before that date.
This document does not present limits or recommended vibration values. It does not give any guidance or
recommendations for determination of human exposure to vibration at the workplace. For such information,
reference is made to EN ISO 5349-1 and EN ISO 5349-2.
