where this level does not exceed 70 dB(A), this fact must be indicated; the declaration of this value shall have the format of a single number declaration as defined in !EN ISO 4871:2009"; BS EN 15059:2009+A1:2015 EN 15059:2009+A1:2015 (E) b) the A-weighted sound power level emitted by the machine, where the A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the operators position exceeds 80 dB(A); the declaration of this value shall have the format of a single number declaration as defined in !EN ISO 4871:2009": NOTE Additional noise-emission values can be included in the manufacturer's declaration, but only such that a confusion with the values specified above is avoided NOTE EN ISO 4871 provides a method to determine noise emission values to be declared and to verify the declared values The methodology is based on the use of the measured values and measurement uncertainties The latter are the uncertainty associated to the measurement procedure (which is determined by the grade of accuracy of the measurement method used) and the production uncertainty (variation of noise emission from one machine to another of the same type made by the same manufacturer) 17) information on hand, arm and whole-body vibrations: a) the vibration total value of the machine to which the arms are subjected, if it exceeds 2,5 m/s If it does not exceed 2,5 m/s , this shall be mentioned b) Experience has shown that the magnitude of hand-arm vibration on the steering wheel or control levers of snow grooming equipment with a (seated) ride-on operator is in general significantly below 2,5 m/s² In this case it is sufficient to mention that the acceleration is below this limit; c) the highest root mean square value of weighted acceleration of the machine to which the body is 2 subjected, if it exceeds 0,5 m/s If it doesn't exceed 0,5 m/s this fact shall be mentioned The particular operating conditions of the machine relevant for the determination of this single value shall be indicated; d) whenever vibration emission values are indicated the uncertainties surrounding these values must be specified The operating conditions of the machinery during measurement and the measuring methods used must be described The values must be either those measured for the machinery in question or those established on technically identical machines; NOTE This single whole-body vibration emission value was determined at particular operating and terrain conditions and is therefore not representative for the various conditions in accordance with the intended use of the machine Consequently this single whole-body vibration emission value declared by the manufacturer in accordance with this document is not intended to determine the whole-body vibration exposure to the operator using this machine 18) complementarily the operation manual may contain the following information, representative for the whole-body vibration emission at the operating conditions in accordance with the intended use of the machine: a) this machine is equipped with an operator‘s seat, which meets the criteria of EN ISO 7096 representing vertical vibration input under severe but typical operating conditions This seat is tested with the input spectral class EM and has a seat transmissibility factor SEAT= The whole-body vibration emission of the machine under representative operating conditions (according to the intended use of the machine) varies from below 0,5 m/s to a maximum short term level for which the seat is designed in order to meet EN ISO 7096, which is ….m/s for this machine; e.g EMPG for snow grooming equipment (see Annex A) Given by the seat manufacturer Maximum short term level awS12 max will be determined as follows: awS12 a*wP12, see Table of EN ISO 7096:2008 max = SEAT  a*wP12; machine specific value 19 BS EN 15059:2009+A1:2015 EN 15059:2009+A1:2015 (E) NOTE This method for determine the expected range of whole-body vibration emission is related to representative measurement data obtained for elaborating EN ISO 7096:2008 NOTE According to the state of the art the appropriate design of the operator's seat is the most effective construction measure to minimize whole-body vibration emission of a particular machine family 19) information and instructions to ensure that the whole-body vibration emission during machine use is kept to a minimum, and in order to avoid health damages of the operator, the following measures should be taken: a) the operator’s seat should be adjusted to the operator’s weight and height according to the seat manufacturer’s specifications; b) the machine should be used as intended; taking into account the actual ground conditions and special vibration effects resulting from the actual working mode 7.1.2 7.2 The operating instructions and maintenance instructions shall be in handy and durable form Machine marking Minimum machine marking shall include: 1) business name and full address of the manufacturer and, where applicable, his authorized representative;
