Measurement

The new directive incorporates a new standart of power tool vibration measurement - keep up to date with DEWALT

The new directive incorporates a new standard of powertool vibration measurement BS EN ISO 5349-1:2001 , which measures vibration in three directions (otherwise known as a tri-axial or vector sum measurement). This has been developed to replace the existing EN50144 standard and bring the manufacturers vibration measurement procedures in line with the HAV Directive. NOTE: Not all product groups will have tri-axial measurement standards available as yet.
