What is ISO 10819-Measurement and evaluation of the vibration transmissibility of gloves about?
ISO 10819 discusses mechanical vibration and shock. ISO 10819+A1 is an international standard on measurement and evaluation of the vibration transmissibility of gloves to ensure protection from vibration hazards.
ISO 10819 specifies a method for the laboratory measurement, data analysis, and reporting of the vibration transmissibility of a glove with a vibration-reducing material that covers the palm, fingers, and thumb of the hand.
ISO 10819specifies vibration transmissibility in terms of vibration transmitted from a handle through a glove to the palm in one-third-octave frequency bands with center frequencies of 25 Hz to 1 250 Hz.
Who is ISO 10819-Measurement and evaluation of the vibration transmissibility of gloves for?
ISO 10819 on the measurement and evaluation of the vibration transmissibility of gloves is relevant to:
- Antivibration glove testers
- Antivibration gloves validators
- Safety and health departments
Why should you use ISO 10819-Measurement and evaluation of the vibration transmissibility of gloves?
Because of the growing demand to reduce health risks associated with exposure to hand-transmitted vibration, gloves with vibration-reducing materials are often used to attenuate vibration transmitted to the hands. These gloves normally provide a little reduction in hand-transmitted vibration at frequencies below 150 Hz.
ISO 10819 provides you with measuring principles and equipment, measurement conditions and procedures, evaluation of results, calculation of statistical values, criteria for designing gloves as anti-vibration gloves.
The measurements and evaluation procedures provided by ISO 10819+A1 assist you to improve the performance of the anti-vibration glove and ensure protection to the end-users from hand-arm vibration risks.
Adopting ISO 10819 enables to improve the efficiency of the anti-vibration glove and help to produce a product that is of high quality and standard.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN ISO 10819+A1 is the second edition that cancels and replaces the first edition EN ISO 10819:1996. EN ISO 10819:1996 has made stronger criteria for antivibration gloves and the addition of a method for measuring the material thickness with respect to the previous edition.
