ISO 1996-2:2017 describes how sound pressure levels intended as a basis for assessing environmental noise limits or comparison of scenarios in spatial studies can be determined. Determination can be done by direct measurement and by extrapolation of measurement results by means of calculation. This document is primarily intended to be used outdoors but some guidance is given for indoor measurements as well. It is flexible and to a large extent, the user determines the measurement effort and, accordingly, the measurement uncertainty, which is determined and reported in each case. Thus, no limits for allowable maximum uncertainty are set up. Often, the measurement results are combined with calculations to correct for reference operating or propagation conditions different from those during the actual measurement. This document can be applied on all kinds of environmental noise sources, such as road and rail traffic noise, aircraft noise and industrial noise.

Specifies an engineering method for determining the sound power levels of large multisource industrial plants relevant to the evaluation of sound pressure levels in the environment. The method is limited to large industrial plants with multiple noise sources having their main dimensions in the horizontal plane, and which radiate sound substantially uniformly in all horizontal directions. Unweighted sound pressure levels are measured in octave bands. The results obtained are expressed both in octave-band and, if required, in A-weighted sound power levels.

Describes a method for calculating the attenuation of sound during propagation outdoors in order to predict the levels of environmental noise at a distance from a variety of sources. The method predicts the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level (as described in ISO 1996) under meteorological conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

An EU Regulation is a binding legislative act that must be applied in its entirety across the European Union. Unlike directives, regulations do not need to be transposed into national law and are directly applicable in all member states. Regulations are used when uniform application across all EU countries is essential.

Slovenian Regulation 2005-01-5191 covers "Uredba o načinu uporabe zvočnih naprav, ki na shodih in prireditvah povzročajo hrup". There are 3 standards associated with this slovenian regulation.

Harmonized standards under 2005-01-5191 are European standards (ENs) developed by CEN, CENELEC, or ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission. When these standards are cited in the Official Journal of the European Union, products manufactured in conformity with them benefit from a presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of 2005-01-5191, facilitating CE marking and free movement within the European Economic Area.
