| Abstract |
Manufacturers' declared vibration emission values for hand-held power tools used were compared with those of the OPERC HAVTEC database. The values recorded in this database are made according to ISO 5349 using simulated workplace conditions. A total of 656 tool and attachment combinations were evaluated, covering a wide range of applications typically found within the construction industry. These data were compared with the manufacturers declared values, with and without the multiplication factors provided in technical report CEN/TR 15350. In general, it was found that workplace vibration emissions were underestimated by manufacturers' declared values, while they were overestimated by the multiplication factors given in CEN/TR 15350. |
