Mechanical vibration and shock - Coupling forces at the man-machine interface for hand-transmitted vibration - Part 1: Measurement and evaluation
This document describes the coupling parameters between the hands of a machine operator and a vibrating surface of the machine.The coupling between the hand and the vibrating surface can be described using different parameters and component parts of these parameters:— force parameters, such as push, pull and grip;— parameters such as pressure exerted on skin.In addition, Annexes A, B, C, D and E provide guidelines for measuring procedures, the measurement of the force and pressure parameters, and information on the requirements for measuring instrumentation, as well as a calibration method.This document does not deal with forces which act tangentially to the hand.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.
