What is this standard about?

The assessment of human exposure to vibration, to both the hand-arm system and the whole body, at the workplace relies on the combined evaluation of both vibration magnitudes and exposure times. Determining these values can employ various instrumentation types and data sources. This document provides guidance and explanation of concepts used for the following:

— measurement processes;

— instrumentation types;

— vibration magnitude source.
