The instructions for use shall give the following information concerning vibrations, expressed as acceleration (m/s2), transmitted by the machinery or related products to the hand-arm system or to the whole body:
- a)the vibration total value from continuous vibrations to which the hand-arm system is subjected;
- b)the mean value of the peak amplitude of the acceleration from repeated shock vibrations, to which the hand-arm system is subjected;
- c)the highest root mean square value of weighted acceleration to which the whole body is subjected, if it exceeds 0,5 m/s2; where this value does not exceed 0,5 m/s2, this shall be mentioned;
- d)the uncertainty of measurements.
These values shall be either those actually measured for the machinery or related product in question or those established on the basis of measurements taken in respect of technically comparable machinery or related products which are representative of the machinery or related products to be produced.
Where harmonised standards or common specifications adopted by the Commission in accordance with Article 20(3) cannot be applied, the vibration shall be measured using the most appropriate measurement code for the machinery or related products concerned.
The operating conditions during measurement and the measurement codes used shall be described.
