7.2 Operation manual
7.2.1 !!!!Information concerning airborne noise emission""""
!deleted text"
!The operation manual shall contain information on sound power level from earth-moving machinery and the emission sound pressure level at the operator's position(s) as follows:
weighted sound power level emitted by the machine (see 5.13.2.1), where the equivalent continuous A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the operator’s station(s) exceeds 80 dB;
NOTE 1 For earth-moving machinery covered by directive 2000/14/EC, this value is the guaranteed value indicated on the marking of the machine.
NOTE 2 Guidance on the declaration of sound power level can be found in Position paper on guidelines for the application of the European Parliament and Council Directive 2000/14/EC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the noise emission in the environment by equipment for use outdoors.
the A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the operator’s station(s) (see 5.13.2.2) where this exceeds 70 dB; where this level does not exceed 70 dB, this fact shall be indicated; the declaration of this value shall have the format of a single number declaration as defined in EN ISO 4871:1996.
NOTE 3 EN ISO 4871:1996 provides a method to determine sound emission values to be declared and to verify the declared values. The methodology is based on the use of the measured values and measurement uncertainties. The latter are the uncertainty associated to the measurement procedure (which is determined by the grade of accuracy of the measurement method used) and the production uncertainty (variation of sound emission from one machine to another of the same type made by the same manufacturer).
NOTE 4 If the sound emission values are declared in the operation manual under consideration of the recommendations above, the uncertainties of these values should be calculated in accordance with ISO 6395:2008 (Annex N) for the sound power level and in accordance with ISO 6396:2008 (Annex A) for the emission sound pressure level. "
7.2.2 Information concerning hand-arm and whole-body vibration emission
!The operation manual shall contain information on hand-arm and whole-body vibration emission as follows:
The vibration total value to which the hand-arm system is subjected, if it exceeds 2,5 m/s2. Where this value does not exceed 2,5 m/s2, this shall be mentioned.
Experience has shown that the magnitude of hand-arm vibration on the steering wheel or control levers of earth-moving machines with a (seated) ride-on operator is in general significantly below 2,5 m/s². In this case it is sufficient to mention that the acceleration is below this limit. See also the machine specific parts of EN 474.
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. The particular operating conditions of the machine relevant for the determination of this single value shall be indicated.
The values shall be either those actually measured for the machinery in question or those established on the basis of measurements taken for technically comparable machinery which is representative of the
NOTE 1 The single whole-body vibration emission value is determined under particular operating and terrain conditions and is therefore not representative for the various conditions in accordance with the intended use of the machine. Consequently this single whole-body vibration emission value declared by the manufacturer in accordance with this European Standard is not intended to determine the whole-body vibration exposure to the operator using this machine.
NOTE 2 The highest root mean square value of weighted acceleration of whole-body vibration is in accordance with the directive 2002/44/EC the highest value of the 3 values in orthogonal directions of vibration under consideration that the horizontal directions are multiplied by 1,4.
NOTE 3 Vibration emission values for most kinds of earth-moving machinery under different working conditions are included in ISO/TR 25398.
NOTE 4 Information to the uncertainty of vibration measurements and the declaration and verification of vibration values are given in EN 12096:1997. Table D.1 of EN 12096:1997 gives uncertainty in a range between 0,4 and 0,5 according to the measured vibration level.
NOTE 5 According to the state of the art the appropriate design of the operator's seat is the most effective construction measure to minimize whole-body vibration emission of a particular machine family."
