scope:

Specifies the determination of whole-body and hand-arm vibration emissions at operator position(s) during type testing of mobile machinery. The purpose of this standard is to assist technical standardization committees responsible for specific types of machinery in preparing vibration test codes to ensure that such vibration test codes - enable users to make comparisons and to check the declared vibration emission values; - are as homogeneous as possible with each individual test code having the same basic structure; - are in full accordance with basic standards on measurement of vibration emission; - reflect the latest technical knowledge of methods of determining the vibration emissions from the specific family of machinery under consideration.
