Introduction
Drivers, staff and passengers of vehicles (land, air or water) and mobile machinery are exposed
to mechanical vibration which interferes with their comfort, working efficiency and, in some
circumstances, safety and health. Such vehicles and mobile machines are often fitted with seats that are
designed and made in accordance with current state-of-the-art with regard to their capacity to control
or reduce transmitted whole-body vibration.
To assist in the development of such seats, specific test codes have been, or are being, produced to
evaluate the performance of seats. The following basic requirements have therefore been developed
to give guidance for the specification of laboratory testing of vibration transmission through a vehicle
seat to the occupant and for the evaluation of the ability of a seat to control the shock arising from over-
travel of the suspension.
The seat constitutes the last stage of suspension before the driver. To be efficient at attenuating the
vibration, the suspension seat should be chosen according to the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle.
Any performance criteria provided should be set in accordance with what is attainable using best design
practice. Such criteria do not necessarily ensure the complete protection of the operator against risks
associated with exposure to vibration and shock which are generally believed to be risk of spinal injury.

4 General
The measurement and assessment methods given in this document comply with the present practice
standardized in ISO 2631-1. The measuring equipment and the frequency weightings shall be in
accordance with ISO 8041.
The primary test for the vibration characteristics of the seat involves measurements under conditions
which simulate the range of actual uses of a vehicle or machine. For applications where occasional
severe shocks or transient vibration can be expected (and in particular for seats whose suspension
travel is short, such as those intended for use on industrial trucks or off-road vehicles), in addition to
the damping test, a secondary test is required to ensure that the seat responds acceptably. Machinery-
specific standards shall give guidance on the need for this secondary test which comprises a method
for assessing the accelerations associated with impact with the suspension end-stops when over-travel
occurs. The test is described in Annex A.
5 Instrumentation
5.1 Acceleration transducers
The measuring systems selected for the evaluation of vibration at the seat mounting base or platform
of the vibration simulator and that selected for the evaluation of vibration transmitted to the seat
occupant, or to an inert mass when used, shall have similar characteristics.
The characteristics of the vibration measuring system, accelerometers, signal conditioning and data
acquisition equipment, including recording devices, shall be specified in the relevant application
standard, especially the dynamic range, sensitivity, accuracy, linearity and overload capacity.
5.2 Transducer mounting
5.2.1 General
One accelerometer for each required test direction shall be located on the platform (P) at the place
of the vibration transmission to the seat. The other accelerometer(s) shall be located at the interface
between the human body and the seat, at either the seat pan (S) and/or the backrest (B) (see Figure 1).

Dimensions in millimetres
Figure 1 — Location of the accelerometers on the platform (P), on the seat pan (S) and on the
backrest (B)
5.2.2 Transducer mounting on the platform
The accelerometer(s) on the platform shall be located within a circle with a diameter of 200 mm
centred directly below the seat accelerometer(s). The measuring directions shall be aligned parallel to
the movement of the platform.
5.2.3 Transducer mounting on the seat pan and/or backrest
The accelerometers on the seat pan shall be attached in the centre of a mounting disc with a total
diameter of 250 mm ± 50 mm. The disc shall be as thin as possible (see Figure 2). The height shall
not be more than 12 mm. This semi-rigid mounting disc of approximately 80 durometer to 90
durometer units (A-scale) moulded rubber or plastics material shall have a centre cavity in which to
place the accelerometers. The accelerometers shall be attached to a thin metal disc with a thickness of
1,5 mm ± 0,2 mm and a diameter of 75 mm ± 5 mm.
The mounting disc shall be placed on the surface of the seat pan and taped to the cushion in such a way
that the accelerometers are located midway between the ischial tuberosities of the seat occupant with a
tolerance to be defined in the relevant application standards. Alternative positioning of the disc may be
recommended for certain applications. Any variation from the position here defined shall be specified
in application standards.
When tests are performed without a person sitting on the seat, e.g. during damping tests, the disc shall
be placed in the same position as if a person were seated in the seat.
If measurements are made on the backrest, the accelerometers shall be (horizontally) located in the
vertical longitudinal plane through the centre-line of the seat. The relevant application standards shall
specify the vertical position of the accelerometers. The measurement axes shall be aligned parallel to
the basicentric coordinate system.
Besides the semi-rigid mounting disc recommended for soft or highly contoured cushions, a rigid disc
with a generally flat surface or an individual-form design may be used. Such discs may be, for instance,
required for testing rail vehicle passenger seats. The transducer mounting should be made of low-mass

materials, so that the resonant frequency of the mounting is at least four times the highest frequency
specified for the test.
For practical reasons, it is usually not possible to align perfectly the accelerometers in the disc
with the axes of motion of the platform. In a tolerance range within 15° of the appropriate axes, the
accelerometers may be considered as aligned parallel to the axes of interest. For deviations greater
than 15°, acceleration should be measured along two axes and the acceleration vector sum along the
axis of interest should be calculated.

5.3 Frequency weighting
Frequency weighting shall be in accordance with ISO 8041.
5.4 Calibration
The instrumentation shall be calibrated in accordance with ISO 16063-1 and, depending on the type of
measuring system used, to the relevant part of ISO 5347 or ISO 16063.
It is recommended to check the whole measuring chain following the specifications given in ISO 8041.

Introduction
Drivers, staff and passengers of vehicles (land, air or water) and mobile machinery are exposed
to mechanical vibration which interferes with their comfort, working efficiency and, in some
circumstances, safety and health. Such vehicles and mobile machines are often fitted with seats that are
designed and made in accordance with current state-of-the-art with regard to their capacity to control
or reduce transmitted whole-body vibration.
To assist in the development of such seats, specific test codes have been, or are being, produced to
evaluate the performance of seats. The following basic requirements have therefore been developed
to give guidance for the specification of laboratory testing of vibration transmission through a vehicle
seat to the occupant and for the evaluation of the ability of a seat to control the shock arising from over-
travel of the suspension.
The seat constitutes the last stage of suspension before the driver. To be efficient at attenuating the
vibration, the suspension seat should be chosen according to the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle.
Any performance criteria provided should be set in accordance with what is attainable using best design
practice. Such criteria do not necessarily ensure the complete protection of the operator against risks
associated with exposure to vibration and shock which are generally believed to be risk of spinal injury.

Mechanical vibration — Laboratory method for evaluating
vehicle seat vibration —
Part 1:
Basic requirements
1 Scope
This document specifies basic requirements for the laboratory testing of vibration transmission
through a vehicle seat to the occupant. These methods for measurement and analysis make it possible
to compare test results from different laboratories for equivalent seats.
It specifies the test method, the instrumentation requirements, the measuring assessment method and
the way to report the test result.
This document applies to specific laboratory seat tests which evaluate vibration transmission to the
occupants of any type of seat used in vehicles and mobile off-road machinery.
Application standards for specific vehicles refer to this document when defining the test input vibration
that is typical for the vibration characteristics of the type or class of vehicle or machinery in which the
seat is to be fitted.
NOTE Examples of application standards are given in the bibliography.

4 General
The measurement and assessment methods given in this document comply with the present practice
standardized in ISO 2631-1. The measuring equipment and the frequency weightings shall be in
accordance with ISO 8041.
The primary test for the vibration characteristics of the seat involves measurements under conditions
which simulate the range of actual uses of a vehicle or machine. For applications where occasional
severe shocks or transient vibration can be expected (and in particular for seats whose suspension
travel is short, such as those intended for use on industrial trucks or off-road vehicles), in addition to
the damping test, a secondary test is required to ensure that the seat responds acceptably. Machinery-
specific standards shall give guidance on the need for this secondary test which comprises a method
for assessing the accelerations associated with impact with the suspension end-stops when over-travel
occurs. The test is described in Annex A.
5 Instrumentation
5.1 Acceleration transducers
The measuring systems selected for the evaluation of vibration at the seat mounting base or platform
of the vibration simulator and that selected for the evaluation of vibration transmitted to the seat
occupant, or to an inert mass when used, shall have similar characteristics.
The characteristics of the vibration measuring system, accelerometers, signal conditioning and data
acquisition equipment, including recording devices, shall be specified in the relevant application
standard, especially the dynamic range, sensitivity, accuracy, linearity and overload capacity.
5.2 Transducer mounting
5.2.1 General
One accelerometer for each required test direction shall be located on the platform (P) at the place
of the vibration transmission to the seat. The other accelerometer(s) shall be located at the interface
between the human body and the seat, at either the seat pan (S) and/or the backrest (B) (see Figure 1).

backrest (B)
5.2.2 Transducer mounting on the platform
The accelerometer(s) on the platform shall be located within a circle with a diameter of 200 mm
centred directly below the seat accelerometer(s). The measuring directions shall be aligned parallel to
the movement of the platform.
5.2.3 Transducer mounting on the seat pan and/or backrest
The accelerometers on the seat pan shall be attached in the centre of a mounting disc with a total
diameter of 250 mm ± 50 mm. The disc shall be as thin as possible (see Figure 2). The height shall
not be more than 12 mm. This semi-rigid mounting disc of approximately 80 durometer to 90
durometer units (A-scale) moulded rubber or plastics material shall have a centre cavity in which to
place the accelerometers. The accelerometers shall be attached to a thin metal disc with a thickness of
1,5 mm ± 0,2 mm and a diameter of 75 mm ± 5 mm.
The mounting disc shall be placed on the surface of the seat pan and taped to the cushion in such a way
that the accelerometers are located midway between the ischial tuberosities of the seat occupant with a
tolerance to be defined in the relevant application standards. Alternative positioning of the disc may be
recommended for certain applications. Any variation from the position here defined shall be specified
in application standards.
When tests are performed without a person sitting on the seat, e.g. during damping tests, the disc shall
be placed in the same position as if a person were seated in the seat.
If measurements are made on the backrest, the accelerometers shall be (horizontally) located in the
vertical longitudinal plane through the centre-line of the seat. The relevant application standards shall
specify the vertical position of the accelerometers. The measurement axes shall be aligned parallel to
the basicentric coordinate system.
Besides the semi-rigid mounting disc recommended for soft or highly contoured cushions, a rigid disc
with a generally flat surface or an individual-form design may be used. Such discs may be, for instance,
required for testing rail vehicle passenger seats. The transducer mounting should be made of low-mass

materials, so that the resonant frequency of the mounting is at least four times the highest frequency
specified for the test.
For practical reasons, it is usually not possible to align perfectly the accelerometers in the disc
with the axes of motion of the platform. In a tolerance range within 15° of the appropriate axes, the
accelerometers may be considered as aligned parallel to the axes of interest. For deviations greater
than 15°, acceleration should be measured along two axes and the acceleration vector sum along the
axis of interest should be calculated.

5.3 Frequency weighting
Frequency weighting shall be in accordance with ISO 8041.
5.4 Calibration
The instrumentation shall be calibrated in accordance with ISO 16063-1 and, depending on the type of
measuring system used, to the relevant part of ISO 5347 or ISO 16063.
It is recommended to check the whole measuring chain following the specifications given in ISO 8041.
Calibration shall be made before and after each test series.
Where necessary, the output from each accelerometer amplifier shall be zeroed after mounting the
accelerometers in the test position.
