Forestry machinery — Vibration test code for portable hand-held machines with internal combustion engine — Vibration at the handles

ISO 22867:2004 specifies a vibration test code for determining, efficiently and under standardized conditions, the magnitude of vibration at the handles of portable hand-held, internal-combustion-engine-powered forestry machines such as chain-saws, brush-cutters and grass-trimmers. The code is applicable to manufacturer's product controls as well as type tests. It is intended that the results obtained will be able to be used to compare different machines or different models of the same type of machine. Although the magnitudes measured are obtained in an artificial operation, they nevertheless give an indication of the values to be found in a real work situation.
