Vibration Risk: The EN ISO 10819:2013 standard sets out the minimum requirements for gloves designed to protect against mechanical vibrations transmitted to the hands at frequencies between 25 Hz and 1,250 Hz. It defines test methods to assess vibration attenuation and provides guidelines for the proper selection of gloves to protect workers from the harmful effects of vibration exposure. This standard is essential to ensure the effectiveness of vibration protection gloves and, consequently, the safety and health of workers. By adhering to the standards established by EN ISO 10819:2013, companies can mitigate the risks associated with prolonged exposure to vibration, safeguarding workers against injuries such as white finger syndrome and other vibration-related conditions.
Attenuation:
TRM = transmissibility of medium frequencies (Vibration Spectrum M: 25 to 200 Hz) ≤ 0.90 HAND VIBRAX: TRM = 0.764 (represents 23% attenuation)
TRH = transmissibility of high frequencies (Vibration Spectrum H: 200 to 1250 Hz) ≤ 0.60 HAND VIBRAX: TRH = 0.581 (represents 41% attenuation)
