Human response to vibration - Measuring instrumentation - Part 2: Personal vibration exposure meters

This document specifies minimum requirements for personal vibration exposure meters (PVEM). This document is applicable to instruments designed for measurements of whole-body vibration in the context of industrial hygiene applications (according to ISO 2631-1, ISO 2631-2 and ISO 2631-4) and/or hand-arm vibration (according to ISO 5349-1) together with the associated exposure times. This document provides specified design goals and permitted tolerances that define the minimum performance capabilities and functional requirements of instruments designed to measure personal daily vibration exposure. This document does not apply to instruments designed to measure or log exposure times without also performing vibration measurement. Instrumentation of this type is described in ISO/TR 19664.

Human response to vibration - Measuring instrumentation

<p>ISO 8041:2005 specifies the performance specifications and tolerance limits for instruments designed to measure vibration values, for the purpose of assessing human response to vibration. It includes requirements for pattern evaluation, periodic verification and <i>in-situ</i> checks, and the specification of vibration calibrators for <i>in-situ</i> checks.</p> <p>Vibration instruments specified in ISO 8041:2005 can be single instruments, combinations of instrumentation or computer-based acquisition and analysis systems.</p> <p>Three levels of performance testing are defined in ISO 8041:2005: pattern evaluation, i.e. a full test of the instrument against the specifications defined in this International Standard; periodic verification, i.e. an intermediate set of tests designed to ensure that an instrument remains within the required performance specification, and <i>in-situ</i> checks, i.e. a minimum level of testing required to indicate that an instrument is likely to be functioning within the required performance specification.</p>

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

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.
