ISO 5008规定了测量和报告农业轮式拖拉机或其他田间机器操作员在标准试验跑道上操作时所暴露的全身振动的方法。还包括机器的操作条件和人工测试轨道的坐标。 本国际标准不包括对通过操作员座椅或脚踏平台以外的其他方式到达操作员的振动的评估（例如，不考虑脚通过控制装置或手通过方向盘感应到的振动）。 ISO 5008的目的是定义仪器规范、测量程序、测量现场特性和频率加权，以允许以可接受的精度制造和报告农用轮式拖拉机和田间机械的全身振动。

ISO 5008 specifies methods for measuring and reporting the whole body vibration to which the operator of an agricultural wheeled tractor or other field machine is exposed when operating on a standard test track. The operating conditions of the machine and the ordinates of the artificial test tracks are also included. This International Standard does not include assessment of vibration reaching the operator other than through his/her seat or foot platform (e.g., vibration that is sensed by the feet through the controls or by the hands through the steering wheel is not considered). The purpose of ISO 5008 is to define the specification of instruments, measurement procedures, measurement site characteristics and frequency weighting that will allow the whole body vibration of agricultural wheeled tractors and field machinery to be made and reported with acceptable precision.
