EN 13490:2001+A1:2008 (E) 3 Introduction The operators of industrial trucks are often exposed to a low-frequency vibration environment mainly caused by the movement of the vehicles over uneven ground. The seat constitutes the last stage of suspension before the driver. To be efficient at attenuating the vibration, the suspension seat should be chosen according to the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle. The performance criteria provided in this European Standard have been set in accordance with what is attainable using what is at present the best design practice. They do not necessarily ensure the complete protection of the operator against effects of vibration and shock. They may be revised in the light of future developments and improvements in suspension design. Performance criteria obtained in accordance with this European Standard may be useful to manufacturers of industrial trucks when selecting seats for possible use in their products. However, to satisfy fully the requirements of the !EU" Machinery Directive it is important for suppliers of mobile machinery to demonstrate that the seat supplied reduces the vibration in the specified machine to the lowest level that can be reasonably achieved. The test inputs included in this European Standard are based on a very large number of measurements taken in situ on industrial trucks while they were used under severe but typical operating conditions. The test method is based on EN 30326-1, which is a general method applicable to seats for different types of vehicles. 1 Scope 1.1 This European Standard is applicable to operator seats used on industrial trucks as defined in
ISO 5053:1987 irrespective of power supply, type of equipment, lifting mechanism and tyres. It also applies to seats for other trucks not covered by ISO 5053:1987, e.g. variable-reach trucks and lowlift order picking trucks. 1.2 This European Standard specifies, in accordance with EN 30326-1, a laboratory method for measuring and evaluating the effectiveness of the seat suspension in reducing the vertical wholebody vibration transmitted to the operator of industrial trucks at frequencies between 1 Hz and 20 Hz. 1.3 This European Standard defines the input spectral classes required for the following industrial trucks. Each class defines a group of machines having similar vibration characteristics:  Platform trucks, trucks rider-controlled, etc. with wheel mean diameter below 200 mm and highload non-rubber solid tyres (category 1)1)  Reach trucks, articulated trucks, etc. with wheel mean diameter below 450 mm and high-load non-rubber solid tyres or cylindrical/conical base rubber solid tyres (category 2)1)  Straddle trucks, trucks with wheel mean diameter below 645 mm and rubber solid or pneumatic tyres (category 3)1)  Straddle trucks, trucks with wheel mean diameter between 645 mm and 900 mm and rubber solid or pneumatic tyres (category 4a)1)  Straddle trucks, trucks with wheel mean diameter between 900 mm and 1 200 mm and rubber solid or pneumatic tyres (category 4b)1)  Trucks with wheel mean diameter between 1 200 mm and 2 000 mm and rubber solid or pneumatic tyres (category 5)1) SIST EN 13490:2002+A1:2009

1.4 This European Standard specifies performance criteria to be achieved by seats intended for each of the above-mentioned groups of machines. 1.5 The tests and criteria defined in this European Standard are intended for operator seats used in industrial trucks of conventional design. NOTE Other tests may be appropriate for machines with design features that result in significantly different vibration characteristics. 1.6 This European Standard is only concerned with the vertical component of whole-body vibration. Vibration which reaches the operator other than through his seat, for example that sensed by his feet on the platform or control pedals or by his hands on the steering-wheel, is not covered. 2 Normative references !The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

EN 13490:2001+A1:2008 (E) 8 4 General 4.1 The laboratory simulated machine vertical vibration, specified as input spectral class, is based on representative measured data from machines in severe but typical working conditions. The input spectral class is a representative envelope for the machines within the class, therefore the laboratory test is more severe than the typical vibration environment of any specific machine. 4.2 Two criteria are used for the evaluation of seat: a) the Seat Effective Amplitude Transmissibility (SEAT) factor according to EN 30326-1:1994, 9.1, but with frequency weighting according to ISO 2631-1, b) the maximum transmission ratio in the damping test according to EN 30326-1:1994, 9.2. 4.3 The measuring equipment shall be in accordance with !EN ISO 8041" and EN 30326-1:1994, Clauses 4 and 5. The frequency weighting shall include the effects of the band limiting filters, and be in accordance with ISO 2631-1 (see !EN ISO 8041"). 4.4 Safety precautions shall be in accordance with EN ISO 13090-1. Any compliant end-stops or devices normally fitted to production versions of the seat to be tested to minimize the effect of suspension overtravel shall be in place for the dynamic tests. 5 Test conditions and test procedure The test conditions and test procedure shall be in accordance with EN 30326-1:1994, Clauses 7 and 8. 5.1 Simulation of vibration See EN 30326-1:1994, Clause 5. A platform, the dimensions of which correspond approximately to those of the operator's platform of an industrial truck, shall be mounted on a vibrator which is capable of generating vibration along the vertical axis (see Figure 1). 5.2 Test seat The operator seat for the test shall be representative of series-produced models, with regard to construction, static and vibration characteristics and other features which may affect the vibration test results. Before the test, the suspension seats shall be run-in under conditions stipulated by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer does not state such conditions, then the seat shall be run-in for 5 000 cycles, with measurements at
1 000-cycle intervals. For this purpose, the seat shall be loaded with an inert mass of 75 kg and adjusted to the mass in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The seat and suspension shall be mounted on the platform of a vibrator, and a sinusoidal input vibration shall be applied to the platform at approximately the suspension natural frequency. This input vibration shall have a peak-to-peak displacement sufficient to cause movement of the seat suspension over approximately 75 % of its stroke. A platform peak-to-peak displacement of approximately 40 % of the seat suspension stroke is likely to achieve this. Care should be taken to ensure against overheating of the suspension damper during the running-in, for which forced cooling is acceptable. SIST EN 13490:2002+A1:2009



EN 13490:2001+A1:2008 (E) 9 The seat shall be considered to have been run-in if the value for the vertical transmissibility remains within a tolerance of ± 5 % when three successive measurements are performed under the condition described above. The time interval between two measurements shall be half an hour, or 1 000 cycles (whichever is less), with the seat being constantly run-in. The seat shall be adjusted to the weight
