This document 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.

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.

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.
