Bibliography

Describes requirement for measuring and reporting hand-transmitted vibration exposure in three orthogonal axes. Also defines frequency weighting and band-limiting filters for uniform comparison of measurements. Applicable to periodic and to random or non-periodic vibration and to repeated shock type excitation (impact).
