Overview

SIST EN ISO 10819:2013/A1:2019 is a critical amendment to the international standard concerning mechanical vibration and shock, specifically focusing on hand-arm vibration. This standard addresses the measurement and evaluation of vibration transmissibility of gloves at the palm of the hand, ensuring accurate assessment of glove performance in protecting users from harmful vibration exposure. Prepared by ISO/TC 108 and CEN/TC 231, this amendment updates the 2013 version, reflecting the latest methods and requirements for protective gloves used in industrial and occupational settings.

This standard plays a vital role in occupational health and safety, particularly in industries where workers operate vibrating tools and machinery. The standard provides a uniform approach to testing glove efficiency in reducing vibration transmission to the hand-a key factor in preventing hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS) and related musculoskeletal disorders.

Key Topics

• Vibration Transmissibility Measurement: Specifies the method for measuring how much vibration is transmitted through gloves to the palm, using predefined handle acceleration levels and frequencies.
• Test Subject Requirements: Defines glove tests to be conducted with five adult subjects, using their dominant hand and gloves sized per EN 420+A1.
• Glove Fitting: Revised fitting criteria ensuring glove size corresponds to EN 420+A1 specifications for realistic and consistent testing.
• Handle Accelerations: Detailed Table 1 in the amendment outlines required acceleration values across specific frequency bands for testing.
• Mechanical Property Requirements: Protective gloves against vibration must meet mechanical risks standards as outlined in EN 388, including abrasion, blade cut, tear, and puncture resistance, focusing on surface material testing.
• Manufacturer Information: Expanded requirements for comprehensive labeling, including mean transmissibility data, warnings on protection limitations, useful life, shelf life, and Chromium VI content where applicable.
• Marking and Symbols: Introduction of specific vibration protection pictograms aligned with ISO 7000-3634 to clearly identify protective gloves.

Applications

• Occupational Safety Compliance: This standard supports manufacturers in producing and certifying gloves that comply with EU Regulation 2016/425 on personal protective equipment (PPE), ensuring reliable protection against hand-arm vibration risks in workplaces.
• Worker Health Protection: Enables safety professionals to select and recommend gloves with verified vibration attenuation to reduce incidence of HAVS and other vibration-induced injuries.
• Product Testing and Certification: Testing laboratories and certifying bodies use SIST EN ISO 10819:2013/A1:2019 for standardized evaluation of glove vibration transmissibility performance.
• Industry Use Cases: Applicable in sectors such as construction, manufacturing, forestry, and mining where hand-held power tools and vibrating machinery are common.

Related Standards

• EN 420+A1: General requirements and test methods for protective gloves – establishing sizing, design, and basic performance parameters for gloves.
• EN 388:2016 Protective gloves against mechanical risks – covers abrasion resistance, blade cut resistance, tear resistance, and puncture resistance essential for evaluating glove durability and protection.
• ISO 5349-1: Measurement and evaluation of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration – referenced regarding exposure risk assessment but clarifies that glove attenuation results should not be directly used to calculate overall exposure.
• EU Regulation 2016/425 – personal protective equipment legislation defining essential health and safety requirements glove manufacturers must meet for EU market compliance.
• ISO 7000 – Graphical symbols for use on equipment – including symbols for marking gloves providing vibration protection.

---

SIST EN ISO 10819:2013/A1:2019 represents an essential update to glove vibration testing standards, reinforcing effective occupational safety practices by ensuring personal protective gloves are rigorously evaluated for their capacity to reduce harmful hand-arm vibration. Compliance with this standard supports manufacturers and employers in safeguarding worker health against mechanical vibration hazards.
