ISO 5805 is an international standard that defines terms relating to human biodynamics or which are used in specific contexts in other standards pertaining to the evaluation of human exposure to mechanical vibration and shock.
ISO 5805 provides standard definitions of terms and supplements ISO 2041 but does not contain general terms readily found in dictionaries.
ISO 5805 on human exposure vocabulary is useful for:
Vibration can affect the durability and reliability of industrial systems and structures, resulting in issues like damage, anomalous halting, and catastrophic failure. Mechanical shock testing is subjecting a test device to abrupt and excessive acceleration or deceleration. Developing effective integrated human-machine system design tools, enhanced vibration mitigation devices, and frequency-weighting for exposure assessment requires identifying the most likely ranges of biodynamic reactions of the human body exposed to whole-body vibration.
Having access to common definitions and terminology across the industry facilitates and accelerates communication, research, and reporting across the industry. ISO 5805 guidelines bring uniformity in reporting, documentation, research, innovation, and safety and protection for its users. Using ISO 5805 you will be in a position to facilitate clear communication across industries that, in turn, facilitates innovations. ISO 5805 enables customers to have access to the durability and reliability of mechanical systems or structures as a result of this.
