Table 2: Declared Noise Emission Values/Vibration Values

The values were determined in accordance with the sound test code in EN 16228­1 and
EN 16228­2 based on the basic standards ISO 3747, ISO 11201 and ISO 11203 (Q=20
close to machine, free field, remote control, service) and ISO 2631­1.
Dual Number: When combined, the declared noise emission values are the sum of mea­
sured values and uncertainty. They represent an upper limit of the range, in which mea­
sured values are likely to be included.
Single Values: The sum of a measured value and of the associated uncertainty represents
an upper limit of the range, in which measured values are likely to be included.
The declared values for noise and vibration were obtained by testing in accordance with
the stated standards and are comparable with the declared values of other machines
tested in accordance with the same standards.

31
SmartROC T45/C50 7 Noise and Vibration

The declared values are not adequate for use in risk assessments, as values measured in
individual work places may be higher.
The actual noise levels and vibration values to which an individual is exposed to are unique
and dependent on the work practices, reflections from walls, road conditions, duration of
exposure time and the physical health of the individual.
Incorrect use of the machine can cause health problems due to whole­body vibration and
noise. A guide on the management of vibration is available in ISO/TR 25398 and on hear­
ing protectors in EN 458.
Atlas Copco recommends a program of health surveillance to detect early symptoms
caused by exposure to noise and vibrations, so that management procedures can be modi­
fied to prevent future impairment.
The sound power is equivalent to the guaranteed sound power level referred to in 2000/14/
EC for machines intended only for surface applications.
The noise emission values have been declared using EN 4871.

7.2 Declared Values

n The declared values for noise and vibration were obtained by testing in accordance
with the stated standards and are comparable with the declared values of other ma­
chines tested in accordance with the same standards.
n The declared values are not adequate for use in risk assessments, as values mea­
sured in individual work places may be higher.
n The actual noise levels and vibration values to which an individual is exposed to are
unique and dependent on the work practices, reflections from walls, road conditions,
duration of exposure time and the physical health of the individual.
n Atlas Copco is not liable for the consequences of using declared values, instead of ac­
tual exposure values in an individual risk assessment.
n Incorrect use of the machine can cause health problems due to whole­body vibration
and noise. An EU guide on the management of vibration is available in ISO/TR 25398
and on hearing protectors in EN 458.
n Atlas Copco recommends a program of health surveillance to detect early symptoms
caused by exposure to noise and vibrations, so that management procedures can be
modified to prevent future impairment.

7.3 Causes of High Noise Levels

Noise levels higher than the stated values are likely to occur when:
n Working underground
n Incorrectly using the machine
n Working with increased load when compared to specified values
n Using compressed air

7.4 Effects of Noise

n Impaired ability to communicate

n Impaired ability to perceive acoustic signals and warning signals

7.5 Noise Reduction Factors

To reduce risk from exposure to noise:
n Use approved ear protectors or plugs. Refer to EU guide, EN 458.
n Carry out regular maintenance on ear protectors. For example, replace ear protector
seals every six months.
n Use helmet goggles if using ear protectors or use ear plugs when using goggles or
spectacles, as goggles and spectacles will reduce the effect of ear protectors.
n Make sure the ear plugs fit correctly. The incorrect size of ear plugs reduces the damp­
ing effect.
n Perform regular maintenance of door and cabin seals, insulation and mufflers
n Work with the cabin door and windows closed

7.6 Noise Combined with Other Risk Factors

Noise, in combination with other risk factors can cause serious health issues.
n Vibration and noise in combination can cause higher health risks.
n People with sensitive conditions (for example, pregnancy) and people already with im­
paired hearing may need protection against noise even at lower levels.
n Exposure to ototoxic substances and noise may increase the risk of hearing damage
(even under 80 dB). For example; styrene, toluene and xylene, and certain solvent
mixtures are ototoxic. Certain fuels such as kerosene and certain metals such as mer­
cury and lead, have also been proven to be potentially ototoxic.

7.7 Factors Affecting Whole Body Vibration

The following factors may affect whole body vibration:
n Tramming for longer duration.
n Speed, duty cycle and ground conditions while operating from a cabin. These factors
are primarily influenced by the operator who controls for example speed, working cy­
cle, and route options.

7.8 Vibration Reduction

n Do not expose the machine to higher loads, speeds or performance factors than speci­
fied. Excessive loads and mechanical wear increases vibration.
n Use the machine correctly together with related equipment required for the task. Use
of incorrect equipment can cause increased vibrations.
n Using remote control can reduce vibrations.
n Avoid large holes and uneven ground when tramming. Adapt the speed to the tram­
ming conditions to reduce vibrations.
