Hand-held portable power tools - Test methods for evaluation of vibration emission - Part 7: Nibblers and shears (ISO 28927-7:2009)

This part of ISO 28927 specifies a laboratory method for measuring hand-transmitted vibration emission at the handles of hand-held, power-driven nibblers and shears. It is a type-test procedure for establishing the magnitude of vibration in the gripping areas of a machine run under specified test conditions. It is intended that the results be used to compare different models of the same type of machine. This part of ISO 28927 is applicable to nibblers and shears (see Clause 5), driven pneumatically or by other means, intended for cutting sheet metal or composite materials.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

SIST EN ISO 28927-7:2010
ISO 28927-7:2009(E)
Introduction
This document is a type-C standard as stated in ISO 12100.
When requirements of this type-C standard are different from those which are stated in type-A or -B standards,
the requirements of this type-C standard take precedence over the requirements of the other standards for
machines that have been designed and built according to the requirements of this type-C standard.
The vibration test codes for portable hand-held machines given in ISO 28927 are based on ISO 20643, which
gives general specifications for the measurement of the vibration emission of hand-held and hand-guided
machinery. ISO 28927 specifies the operation of the machines under type-test conditions and other
requirements for the performance of type tests. The structure/numbering of its clauses follows that of
ISO 20643.
The basic principle for transducer positioning first introduced in the EN 60745 series of European standards is
followed, representing a deviation from ISO 20643 for reasons of consistency. The transducers are primarily
positioned next to the hand in the area between the thumb and the index finger, where they give the least
disturbance to the operator gripping the machine.
It has been found that vibrations generated by nibblers and shears vary considerably in typical use. The
variation is largely due to variations in the handling of the machine and the characteristics of the material
worked on, while differences in the support of the material also cause differences in vibration.
In order to provide a method that gives good measurement reproducibility, this part of ISO 28927 uses a
working process where the machine is used to cut sheet metal. It is important that the sheet metal have good
support and that the punches and shear blades used be in good condition. The procedures of ISO 5349 are
required whenever exposure at the workplace is to be assessed.
The values obtained are type-test values intended to be representative of the average of the upper quartile of
typical vibration magnitudes in real-world use of the machines. However, the actual magnitudes will vary
considerably from time to time and depend on many factors, including the operator, the task and the inserted
tool or consumable. The state of maintenance of the machine itself might also be of importance. Under real
working conditions the influences of the operator and process can be particularly important at low magnitudes.
2
It is therefore not recommended that emission values below 2,5 m/s be used for estimating the vibration
2
magnitude under real working conditions. In such cases, 2,5 m/s is the recommended vibration magnitude for
estimating the machine vibration.
If accurate values for a specific work place are required, then measurements (according to ISO 5349) in that
work situation may be necessary. Vibration values measured in real working conditions can be either higher or
lower than the values obtained using this part of ISO 28927.
Higher vibration magnitudes can easily occur in real working situations, caused by improper support of the
material being worked on or by worn punches or shear blades.
The vibration test codes given in ISO 28927 supersede those given in ISO 8662, whose parts have been
replaced by the corresponding parts of ISO 28927 (see Foreword).
NOTE ISO 8662-11, Hand-held portable power tools — Measurement of vibrations at the handle — Part 11: Fastener
driving tools, and ISO 8662-13, Hand-held portable power tools — Measurement of vibrations at the handle —
Part 13: Die grinders, could be replaced by future parts of ISO 28927.

Part 7:
Nibblers and shears
1 Scope
This part of ISO 28927 specifies a laboratory method for measuring hand-transmitted vibration emission at the
handles of hand-held, power-driven nibblers and shears. It is a type-test procedure for establishing the
magnitude of vibration in the gripping areas of a machine run under specified test conditions. It is intended
that the results be used to compare different models of the same type of machine.
This part of ISO 28927 is applicable to nibblers and shears (see Clause 5), driven pneumatically or by other
means, intended for cutting sheet metal or composite materials.
NOTE To avoid confusion with the terms “power tool” and “inserted tool”, machine is used for the former throughout
this document.

6.1 Direction of measurement
The vibration transmitted to the hand shall be measured and reported for three directions of an orthogonal
coordinate system. At each hand position, the vibration shall be measured simultaneously in the three
directions shown in Figures 6 to 10.
6.2 Location of measurements
Measurements shall be made at the gripping zones, where the operator normally holds the machine and
applies the feed force. For machines intended for one-handed operation, it is only necessary to measure at a
single point.
The prescribed transducer location shall be as close as possible to the hand between the thumb and index
finger. This shall apply to both hand positions, with the machine held as in normal operation. Whenever
possible, measurements shall be made at the prescribed locations.
A secondary location is defined as being on the side of, and as close as possible to, the inner end of the
handle where the prescribed location is found. If the prescribed location of the transducer cannot be used, this
