    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Gives a method to assess the airborne noise of electrical household appliances. Applies to single unit electric dishwashers for household and similar use, with and without automatic programme control, for cold or hot water supply. Covers references, terms and definitions, measurement methods and acoustical environments, instrumentation, operation and location of appliances under test, measurement of noise levels, calculation of sound pressure and sound power levels, information to be recorded and information to be reported.
