It supersedes BS EN 14253:2003 which is withdrawn. The start and finish of text introduced or altered by amendment is indicated in the

The UK participation in its preparation was entrusted to Technical Committee GME/21/6, Human exposure to mechanical vibration. A list of organiz

4、ations represented on this committee can be obtained on request to its secretary. European legislation (The Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive, 2002/44/EC) requires employers to assess workers exposure to whole-body vibration and sets a daily exposure action value and limit value. These exposure

5、levels are defined in the Directive in terms of the eight-hour energy-equivalent frequency-weighted acceleration (known as the A(8) value) or, alternatively, the daily vibration dose value (VDV). This Standard was developed by CEN TC231 to support the requirements of the Directive by supplementing t

6、he information in ISO 2631-1:1997 with practical guidance. However, the United Kingdom committee was concerned that the standard considers only exposures based on the eight-hour energy- equivalent frequency-weighted acceleration (known as the A(8) value) and not on the daily vibration dose value (VD

7、V), although both methods are given equal prominence in the Directive. In response to this concern National Annex NA has been added to this standard to provide guidance on the evaluation of exposures using the VDV method.

BS EN 14253:2003+A1:2007 EN 14253:2003+A1:2007 (E)4 Introduction Occupational exposure to whole-body vibration can, in some circumstances, contribute to illness. The general r

29、equirements for measuring and evaluating whole-body vibration exposure are specified in ISO 2631-1. The aim of this European Standard is to provide practical guidelines to develop an effective strategy for evaluation of whole- body vibration exposure at the workplace. The use of the strategy describ

30、ed in this European Standard will lead to a realistic picture of the daily exposure of a subject and of the relevant uncertainties. The evaluation of vibration exposure can be broken up into a number of different stages: identifying a series of discrete operations which make up the subjects working

31、pattern; selection of operations to be evaluated; establishing the r.m.s. acceleration value for each selected operation; evaluation of a typical daily exposure time for each operation identified; calculating the daily vibration exposure.

32、003+A1:2007 (E)5 1 Scope This European Standard provides guidelines for the measurement and evaluation of whole-body vibration at the workplace. This European Standard describes the precautions to be taken to make representative vibration measurements and to determine the daily exposure time for eac

33、h operation in order to calculate the daily exposure value standardized to an 8 h reference period. This European Standard provides a means to determine the relevant operations that should be taken into account when determining the vibration exposure. This European Standard applies to situations whe

34、re people are exposed to whole-body vibration at the workplace, transmitted through the buttocks for a seated person or through the feet for a standing person. This European Standard is restricted to the evaluation of exposure to whole-body vibration using quantities derived from frequency-weighted

35、root-mean-square acceleration. The frequency range considered is 0,5 Hz to 80 Hz. Where the vibration includes shocks or impacts, methods in this European Standard may underestimate the severity of the exposure. There is a need to assess the risks arising from exposure to whole-body shocks and high

36、crest factor vibration. Methods for this are beyond the scope of this European Standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

41、ated BS EN 14253:2003+A1:2007 EN 14253:2003+A1:2007 (E)6 4 Quantities to be evaluated There are two principal quantities to be evaluated for each operation i during exposure to vibration: The frequency-weighted acceleration in metres per second squared (m/s 2 ), expressed as the root-mean- square (r

42、.m.s.) values a wifor each of the three axes at the supporting surface; the total duration per day T iof vibration exposure for operation i. The daily vibration exposure A l (8), in m/s 2 , for each direction l is defined as: = i i wli l l T a T k A 2 0 1 ) 8 ( (1) where a wliis the frequency-weight

43、ed r.m.s. value of the acceleration, determined over the time period T ik x= k y= 1,4 for the x- and y-directions; k z= 1 for the z-direction l = x, y, z T 0is the reference duration of 8 h (28800 s) NOTE 1 The Physical Agents Directive 2002/44/EC allows an 8-h vibration dose value (VDV) instead of

44、A(8). Where VDV is used, the A l(8) in this European Standard should be replaced by the daily vibration dose value in the l direction. The use of VDV instead of A(8) will generally result in a different evaluation of the health risk. NOTE 2 The values of k l in the x- and y-directions are based on s

45、ensitivity of seated persons but the same factors should be applied for other postures, e.g. standing. NOTE 3 If it can be shown that there is clearly a dominant direction it is sufficient to measure only this direction. The individual contribution of an operation or work cycle i to the daily vibrat

46、ion exposure can be calculated as: 0 ) 8 ( T T a k A i wli l li = (2) 5 Preparation of the measurement procedure 5.1 General The vibration exposure of an individual during a working day may involve a series of different operations, some of which may be repeated. The vibration exposure may vary great

47、ly from one operation to another, e.g. due to the operators behaviour, the use of different machines or differences between the operations, or due to seasonal effects. Before making measurements, it is first necessary to identify the individual operations which are likely to contribute substantially

48、 to the overall exposure. The location and nature of each operation should be defined accurately and the total duration associated with the individual worker during the single day should be quantified. A survey should be undertaken to establish an “exposure profile”. This will help to determine the likely relative importance of each type of operation in the overall value of A(8), to identify those for which measurements are required, and to assist in the planning of any necessary exposure controls. The daily vibration exposure A(8) ma
