EN 1032:1996

EN 1032:1996 is a standard published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Its full title is "Mechanical vibration - Testing of mobile machinery in order to determine the whole-body vibration emission value - General". This standard covers: This European Standard specifies the evaluation of vibration emission at operator's place during testing and operation of mobile machinery. It is intended to be used for defining magnitudes of whole-body vibration transmitted from supporting surfaces to the human body in the frequency range 1 Hz to 80 Hz. According to this standard, the magnitudes are stated as r.m.s. values of representative vibration. This European Standard provides requirements for the vibration test codes to be incorporated in the machinery related standards, including the conditions under which the measurements shall be made (e.g. operating conditions). This European Standard applies to sitting and standing positions. It is applicable to all mobile machinery producing periodic or random vibration with or without transients. Only rectilinear vibrations are dealt with in this standard. The purpose of this European Standard is to ensure consistency and compatibility of test and evaluation methods. It does not present limits or recommended vibration values.

EN 1032:1996 is classified under the following ICS (International Classification for Standards) categories: 13.160 - Vibration and shock with respect to human beings; 17.160 - Vibrations, shock and vibration measurements; 21.020 - Characteristics and design of machines, apparatus, equipment. The ICS classification helps identify the subject area and facilitates finding related standards.

EN 1032:1996 has the following relationships with other standards: It is inter standard links to EN 1032:2003, EN 13059:2002+A1:2008, EN 836:1997+A4:2011, EN 1032:1996/A1:1998. Understanding these relationships helps ensure you are using the most current and applicable version of the standard.

EN 1032:1996 is associated with the following European legislation: EU Directives/Regulations: 89/392/EEC, 98/37/EC; Standardization Mandates: M/BC/CEN/91/1. When a standard is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with it benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the corresponding EU directive or regulation.
