scope:

This Standard is intended to be used for defining magnitudes of whole-body vibrations transmitted from supporting surfaces to the human body in the frequency range 1 to 80 Hz. According to this standard the magnitude are stated as r.m.s. values of representative vibrations. The vibration is specified in terms of weighted acceleration magnituders, exposure time and the direction of vibration relative to the torso. Only rectilinear vibrations are dealt with in this standard. Although primarily written for application to vibration emission evaluation, this standard may also be applied to vibration evaluation at workplaces. This standard does not present any vibration limits.
