1.1 General This International Standard specifies a method for measuring the emission sound pressure levels of machinery and equipment, at a work station and at other specified positions nearby, in a semi-reverberant field. Emission sound pressure level are measured as A-weighted and, if required, C-weighted peak. NOTE 1 The contents of this and related International Standards are summarized in table 1 of ISO 11200:1995. A method is given for determining a local environment correction (subject to a specified limiting maximum value) to be applied to the measured sound pressure levels in order to exclude at least part of the effects of reflections from reflecting surfaces other than the plane on which the machinery or equipment is placed. This correction is based on the equivalent sound absorption area of the test room. A work station is occupied by an operator. It may be located in open space in the room where the source operates, or in a cab fixed to the source, or in an enclosure remote from the source. One or more specified positions may be located in the vicinity of an attended or unattended machine. Such positions are sometimes referred to as bystander positions. This International Standard specifies requirements for the survey grade of accuracy on the test environment and instrumentation. Instructions are given for the installation and operation of the machine under test and for the choice of microphone positions for the work station and for other specified positions. The purpose of the measurements is to permit comparison of the performance of different units of a given family of machinery or equipment, under defined environmental conditions and standardized mounting and operating conditions. The data obtained may also be used for the declaration and verification of emission sound pressure levels as specified in ISO 4871. NOTE 2 At any given position in relation to a particular machine, and for given mounting and operating conditions, the emission sound pressure levels determined by the method of this International Standard will in general be lower than the directly measured sound pressure levels for the same machine in the typical workroom where it is used. This is due to reverberation and the contributions of other machines. A method of calculating the sound pressure levels in the vicinity of a machine operating alone in a workroom is given in ISO 11690-3. Commonly observed differences are 1 dB to 5 dB, but in extreme cases the difference may be even greater. 1.2 Types of noise and noise sources The method specified in this International Standard is applicable to all types of machinery, both moving and stationary, for indoor or outdoor use. The method is applicable to machines of all sizes, and to all types of noise as defined in ISO 2204 and ISO 12001. 1.3 Test environment The method is applicable to an indoor or outdoor environment with one or more reflecting planes present, meeting specified requirements. 1.4 Specified positions This International Standard is applicable to work stations and other specified positions where emission sound pressure levels are to be measured. Examples of appropriate positions where measurements may be made include the following: work station located in the vicinity of the machine under test; this is the case for many industrial machines and domestic appliances; work station within a cab which is an integral part of the machine under test; this is the case for many industrial trucks and earth-moving machines; work station within a partial or total enclosure (or behind a screen) supplied by the manufacturer as an integral part of the machinery or equipment; work station partially or totally enclosed by the machine under test; this situation may be encountered with some large industrial machines; bystander positions occupied by individuals not responsible for the operation of the machine under test, but who may be in its immediate vicinity, either occasionally or continuously; other specified positions, not necessarily work stations or bystander positions. The work station may also lie on a specified path along which an operator moves (see 11.4). 1.5 Measurement uncertainty While it is not possible to give universal values for the standard deviation of reproducibility of emission sound pressure levels at work stations, guidance is given in clause 4.
