(Main)Hand-arm vibration - Laboratory measurement of vibration at the grip surface of hand-guided machinery - General
Hand-arm vibration - Laboratory measurement of vibration at the grip surface of hand-guided machinery - General
This European Standard specifies the basic requirements for evaluating vibration at the machine-hand contact surface of hand-guided machines, e.g. lawn mowers, single axis tractors, vibratory rollers, and other types of machines which are provided with handles, guiding beams or similar means of control. Test codes are designed to give information on the vibration characteristics of a specific type of machinery, enabling comparisons to be made between similar machinery, but from different manufacturers. The standard does not apply to hand-held power tools (see EN 28662-1) and to fixed machinery in which the vibration is transmitted to the hands of the user through the workpiece, nor does it apply to the measurement of vibration to the hands of the user via steering wheels or similar controls of vehicles. This standard is not intended for assessment of human exposure to vibration. The measurement and assessment of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration in the workplace is given in ENV 25349.
Hand-Arm Schwingungen - Laborverfahren zur Messung mechanischer Schwingungen an der Greiffläche handgeführter Maschinen - Allgemeines
Diese Europäische Norm legt die Grundanforderungen zur Ermittlung der Schwingungen an den Kontaktflächen zwischen Hand und Maschine bei handgeführten Maschinen fest, wie z.B. Rasenmähern, einachsigen Traktoren, Rüttelwalzen und anderen Maschinenarten, die mit Griffen, Holmen oder ähnlichen Lenkvorrichtungen versehen sind. Maschinenkennwerte sind dazu bestimmt, Informationen über das Schwingungsverhalten einer bestimmten Maschinenart zu geben und einen Vergleich zwischen ähnlichen Maschinen verschiedener Hersteller zu ermöglichen.
Vibrations main-bras - Mesurage en laboratoire des vibrations au niveau des surfaces de préhension des machines guidées à la main - Généralités
La présente norme européenne prescrit les principes de base pour l'évaluation des vibrations au niveau des surfaces de préhension des machines guidées à la main, telles que tondeuses à gazon, tracteurs à simple essieu, rouleaux vibrants, et autres types de machines pourvues de poignées, manches de guidage ou d'autres moyens de commande similaire. Les codes d'essai ont pour but de donner des informations sur les caractéristques vibratoires d'un type donné de machines, permettant des comparaisons entre les machines similaires de différents fabricants.

EN 1033:1995 is a standard published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Its full title is "Hand-arm vibration - Laboratory measurement of vibration at the grip surface of hand-guided machinery - General". This standard covers: This European Standard specifies the basic requirements for evaluating vibration at the machine-hand contact surface of hand-guided machines, e.g. lawn mowers, single axis tractors, vibratory rollers, and other types of machines which are provided with handles, guiding beams or similar means of control. Test codes are designed to give information on the vibration characteristics of a specific type of machinery, enabling comparisons to be made between similar machinery, but from different manufacturers. The standard does not apply to hand-held power tools (see EN 28662-1) and to fixed machinery in which the vibration is transmitted to the hands of the user through the workpiece, nor does it apply to the measurement of vibration to the hands of the user via steering wheels or similar controls of vehicles. This standard is not intended for assessment of human exposure to vibration. The measurement and assessment of human exposure to hand-transmitted vibration in the workplace is given in ENV 25349.
