BS EN 12096:2026 is the UK implementation of EN 12096:2026 and supersedes BS EN 12096:1997, which has been withdrawn. This standard specifies requirements for the declaration and verification of vibration emission values for continuous vibration and repeated shock vibration.
It provides guidance on presenting declared vibration emission values, including uncertainty values, and describes verification methods using either a single machine or three machines. The document supports consistent vibration emission information for machinery users, planners, manufacturers, and authorities.
Application Scope: Applicable to hand-arm and whole-body vibration values measured according to type-B and type-C standards for portable hand-held, hand-guided, and mobile machinery.
