Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any
patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or on
the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical Barriers
to Trade (TBT), see the following URL: Foreword — Supplementary information.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 108, Mechanical vibration, shock and condition
monitoring, Subcommittee SC 4, Human exposure to mechanical vibration and shock.
ISO 5349 consists of the following parts, under the general title Mechanical vibration — Measurement

Replace the subclause with the following.
6.1.2.2 Vibration magnitude
Hand-held machines can produce high vibration magnitudes. A pneumatic hammer, for example, can
2 2
generate a maximum acceleration of 20 000 m/s to 50 000 m/s . However, much of this energy is at
frequencies well outside the frequency range used in this part of ISO 5349. Therefore, the accelerometer
chosen for the measurement has to be able to operate at these very high vibration magnitudes and
yet still respond to the much lower magnitudes in the frequency range from 6,3 Hz to 1 250 Hz (one-
third-octave band mid-frequencies). For the use of mechanical filters to suppress vibration at very high
frequencies, see Annex C.
Page 7, 6.1.3
Replace the subclause with the following.
6.1.3 Location of accelerometers
Vibration measurements in accordance with ISO 5349-1 should be made at or near the surface of the
hand (or hands) where the vibration enters the body. Preferably, the accelerometer should be located

at the middle of the gripping zone (e.g. halfway along the width of the hand when gripping a machine
handle), it is at this location that the most representative evaluation of the vibration entering the hand
is obtained. However, it is generally not possible to locate transducers at this point; the transducers will
interfere with the normal grip used by the operator.
Measurements directly under the hand are usually only possible using special mounting adaptors
(see Annex D). Such adaptors should fit under the hand, or between the fingers. For most practical
measurements, the accelerometers are mounted on either side of the hand or on the underside of the
machine handle adjacent to the middle of the hand. With adaptors that fit between the fingers, the
transducers should be mounted as close as possible to the surface of the machine handle to minimize
amplification of rotational vibration components. They should not have any structural resonances that
would affect the measured vibration.
It is possible to get differences in vibration measurement across the width of the hand, particularly for
hand-held machines with side handles, such as angle grinders, and especially where these handles are
flexibly mounted. In these cases, it is recommended that two accelerometers positions be used, located
one on each side of the hand; the average of the two vibration measurements is then used to estimate
vibration exposure.
For many hand-held machines, specific measurement locations and axes have been defined for the
measurement of vibration emission by ISO 22867, ISO 28927, and other International Standards for
declaration of vibration emission; these measurement locations are summarized in Annex A as examples
of measurement locations. The measurement locations defined in vibration emission standards are
designed for a particular type of measurement and are not necessarily suitable for the evaluation of
vibration exposure. However, in some circumstances, it may be appropriate to ensure that workplace
measurements of vibration are made using locations and axes compatible with those used for emission
measurements.
NOTE The ISO 28927 series of standards defines the preferred measurement location as being as close as
possible to the hand between the thumb and the index finger, where an operator normally holds the machine.
While this measurement position could be suitable for emission testing, it is not invariably suitable for workplace
exposure assessment.

Replace the subclause with the following.
6.1.4.1 General
The accelerometers should be rigidly attached to the vibrating surface. Annex D gives details of some
mounting methods. A method shall be chosen which gives an adequate coupling to the vibrating
surface, does not interfere with the operation of the machine, and does not itself affect the vibration
