Noise Declaration Statement

These declared values were obtained by laboratory type testing in accordance with the stated standards and are suitable for comparison with the declared values of other tools tested in accordance with the same standards. These declared values are not adequate for use in risk assessments and values measured in individual work places may be higher. The actual exposure values and risk of harm experienced by an individual user are unique and depend upon the way the user works, the workpiece and the workstation design, as well upon the exposure time and the physical condition of the user.

We, , cannot be held liable for the consequences of using the declared values, instead of values reflecting the actual exposure, in an individual risk assessment in a work place situation over which we have no control.

We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms which may relate to noise exposure, so that management procedures can be modified to help prevent future impairment.

The noise emission is given as a guide to the machine-builder. Noise emission data for the complete machine should be given in the instruction manual for the machine.
