Scope

This European standard establishes the requirements for declaration and verification of vibration emission values. It applies to hand-arm and whole- body vibration values achieved by measurements according to Type-B and Type-C standards. It gives guidance on the declaration of vibration emission values; it describes vibration and product information to be given in technical documents supplied to users by the manufacturer.

Purpose

Due to comments from systematic review and new requirements in the (EU) 2023/1230 a revision is needed. Topics to be discussed:

- Declaration of new requirement shocks

- Clarification of values for whole body vibration
