    filters for the frequency weighting Wh
2. Response of filter and asymptotic approximations
    to the frequency weighting defined in table 1
3. Values for weighting factor Ki for conversion of
    one-third octave band measurements to weighted
    measurements
4. Values for weighting factor Ki for conversion of
    octave band measurements to weighted measurements
5. Frequency weighted vibration acceleration magnitudes
    (m.s(-2) r.m.s.) which may be expected to produce
    finger blanching in 10% of persons exposed

2. Modulus of the frequency weighting Wh with band-
    limiting filters
3. Example of d.c. shift

Guidance on general methods for measuring and reporting hand-transmitted vibration exposure in three orthogonal axes over the frequency range 8 Hz to 1000 Hz. Also guidance on the evaluation of hand-transmitted vibration specified in terms of a frequency weighted vibration acceleration and daily exposure time.
