Acoustics - Noise emitted by machinery and equipment - Guidelines for the use of basic standards for the determination of emission sound pressure levels at a work station and at other specified positions
This International Standard provides brief summaries of the basic International Standards for determining emission sound pressure levels from all types of machinery and equipment, at work stations and at other specified positions, and gives guidance on the process of selection of which is appropriate to any particular type. The guidance given applies only to airborne sound, and is for use in the preparation of noise test codes, and also for use in noise testing where no noise test code exists.It is important that specific noise test codes for various types of machinery and equipment be established and used in accordance with the requirements of these basic
