Abstract
A new Japan industrial standard, JIS T8114, that is fully compatible with international standard ISO 10819 became effective in Japan in May 2007. According to the launch of this new JIS, a new vibration measurement system that fully satisfies the requirements defined in ISO 10819 was installed in the Japan National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (JNIOSH). This paper explains the requirements defined in ISO 10819 and the specifications of the vibration measurement system installed in the JNIOSH. Several measurement results of vibration transmissibility of anti-vibration gloves available in the Japan market and others experimentally prepared for production in the near future are also introduced in this paper.
