DIN V 45694:2006-07

This Technical Report gives guidelines to employers for determining, assessing and documenting the daily vibration exposure caused by hand-held power tools and hand-guided machines, according to the requirements of the European Physical Agents Directive (vibration) 2002/44/EC. It does not cover vibration transmitted from steering wheels of mobile machinery. This Technical Report gives guidance on how to determine the exposure duration and the daily vibration exposure A(8) in accordance with EN ISO 5349-1 and EN ISO 5349-2. It also offers a simple method for determining the daily vibration exposure by means of a table which indicates the daily exposure as a function of the equivalent vibration total value and the associated exposure duration. Both methods can be used even in cases of multiple exposures on the same day.
