This part of IS0 2631 defines methods for the measurement of periodic, random and transient whole-body
vibration. It indicates the principal factors that combine to determine the degree to which a vibration exposure will
be acceptable. Informative annexes indicate current opinion and provide guidance on the possible effects of
vibration on health, comfort and perception and motion sickness. The frequency range considered is
- 0,5 Hz to 80 Hz for health, comfort and perception, and
- 0,l Hz to 0,5 Hz for motion sickness.
Although the potential effects on human performance are not covered, most of the guidance on whole-body
vibration measurement also applies to this area. This part of IS0 2631 also defines the principles of preferred
methods of mounting transducers for determining human exposure. It does not apply to the evaluation of extrememagnitude single shocks such as occur in vehicle accidents.
This part of IS0 2631 is applicable to motions transmitted to the human body as a whole through the supporting
surfaces: the feet of a standing person, the buttocks, back and feet of a seated person or the supporting area of a
recumbent person. This type of vibration is found in vehicles, in machinery, in buildings and in the vicinity of
working machinery.

This part of ISO 5349 provides guidelines for the measurement and evaluation of hand-transmitted vibration at the workplace in accordance with ISO 5349-1.
This part of ISO 5349 describes the precautions to be taken to make representative vibration measurements and to determine the daily exposure time for each operation in order to calculate the 8-h energy-equivalent vibration total value (daily vibration exposure). This part of ISO 5349 provides a means to determine the relevant operations which should be taken into account when determining the vibration exposure.
This part of ISO 5349 applies to all situations where people are exposed to vibration transmitted to the hand-arm system by hand-held or hand-guided machinery, vibrating workpieces, or controls of mobile or fixed machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions

An EU Regulation is a binding legislative act that must be applied in its entirety across the European Union. Unlike directives, regulations do not need to be transposed into national law and are directly applicable in all member states. Regulations are used when uniform application across all EU countries is essential.

Slovenian Regulation 2005-01-4108 covers "Pravilnik o varovanju delavcev pred tveganji zaradi izpostavljenosti vibracijam pri delu". There are 4 standards associated with this slovenian regulation.

Harmonized standards under 2005-01-4108 are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 2005-01-4108, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
