Specifies a method for testing ducted fans to determine the sound power radiated into an anechoically terminated duct on the inlet and/or outlet side of the equipment. Applies to fans that emit steady, broad band, narrow band and discrete frequency sound. Coverage includes: definitions and symbols; test facilities and instrumentation; information to be recorded; information to be reported. Also give detailed tables and annexes.
