2.11 SOUND EMISSIONS
After examining the values of Leq during a test with the machine complete with all its components
and placed in an environment without any other sources of noise, the Continuous and Equivalent
Level of sound pressure considered in scale “A” [Leq in dB(A)] at the distance of 1 m when the
machine is operating will never be higher than 76 dB(A), as shown in the proof conditions.
The
noise values indicated are emission levels and are not necessarily safe operation levels.
Al
though there is a relation between emission and exposure levels, it is not possible to use this
relation in a reliable way in order to determine whether other precautions are necessary. The
factors which determine the exposure level of the manpower include the duration of the exposure,
the features of the working place and other sources of noise (number of machines, contiguous
processes, etc.).
Furthermore, the allowed exposure levels can change from country to country.
In any case the information included will help the operator to evaluate any dangers and risks in a
more precise way.
2.12 VIBRATIONS
If the machine is used according to the instructions for a correct use, the vibrations cannot cause
any dangerous situations.
2.13 GAS, DUST AND FUME EMISSIONS
If the machine is used according to the instructions for a correct use, there are no gas, dust or
fume emissions, nor emissions of dangerous substances.
