New Polish Guidelines Regarding Human Exposure to Vibrations in Buildings

Open Access
|May 2020

Abstract

Following global trends, Polish regulations on human exposure to vibration in buildings were changed and new Polish guidelines were published in June 2017. In accordance with international trends, two methods of assessment have been added to the regulations: basic RMS method and ad-ditional VDV method. For more clarity of RMS method, the human vibration perceptivity ratio (HVPR) was introduced to new Polish regulations. In the appendix to the Polish standard, the vi-bration dose value (VDV) method is presented. The third important change in the new version of the Polish standard is measurement equipment that should be used for human perception evaluation. New regulations have precisely described what kind of equipment should be used for low-frequency recording and a new measurement disc for the human perception of vibration on floors has been introduced to the Polish standard.
