Forestry and gardening machinery - Noise test code for portable hand-held machines with internal combustion engine - Engineering method (Grade 2 accuracy) (ISO 22868:2021)

This document specifies a noise test code for determining, efficiently and under standardized conditions, the common noise emission characteristics of portable, hand-held, combustion engine powered forest and garden machines, and specific requirements for chain-saws, brush-cutters, grass-trimmers, edgers, pole-mounted powered pruners, hedge-trimmers and garden blowers/vacuums/knapsack mist blowers. Noise emission characteristics include the A-weighted emission sound pressure level at the operator position and the A-weighted sound power level.
Noise test codes as described in this document enable the manufacturer to verify the effort regarding low noise design.

Forst- und Gartenmaschinen - Geräuschmessnorm für handgehaltene Maschinen mit Verbrennungsmotor - Verfahren der Genauigkeitsklasse 2 (ISO 22868:2021)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Geräuschmessverfahren zur effizienten Ermittlung der Geräuschemissionsdaten von tragbaren handgeführten forstwirtschaftlichen Maschinen und Gartengeräten mit Verbrennungsmotor unter einheitlichen Bedingungen und besondere Anforderungen für Kettensägen, Freischneider, Grastrimmer, Kantenschneider, motorbetriebene Hochentaster, Heckenscheren und Laubbläser/Laubsauger/rückentragbare Sprühgeräte fest. Geräuschemissions-Kennwerte schließen den A-bewerteten Emissions-Schalldruckpegel am Ort der Bedienungsperson und den A-bewerteten Schallleistungspegel ein.
Die in diesem Dokument beschriebenen Prüfmessverfahren ermöglichen dem Hersteller, die Bemühungen in Bezug auf geräuscharme Konstruktion zu prüfen.
VORSICHT – Einige der in diesem Dokument festgelegten Prüfverfahren beinhalten Vorgänge, die zu einer Gefährdungssituation führen können. Jede Person, die Prüfungen nach diesem Dokument durchführt, muss für die auszuführenden Arbeiten geschult sein.

Machines forestières et machines de jardin - Code d'essai acoustique pour machines portatives tenues à la main à moteur à combustion interne - Méthode d'expertise (classe de précision 2) (ISO 22868:2021)

Le présent document spécifie un code d'essai acoustique pour déterminer, avec efficacité et dans des conditions normalisées, les caractéristiques acoustiques d'émission des machines forestières et des machines de jardin portatives tenues à la main à moteur à combustion interne, telles que les scies à chaîne, débroussailleuses, coupe-herbe, meuleuses, perches élagueuses à moteur, taille-haies et souffleurs/aspirateurs de jardin/nébulisateurs portés à dos. Les caractéristiques acoustiques d'émission comprennent le niveau de pression acoustique d'émission pondéré A au poste de travail et le niveau de puissance acoustique pondéré A.
Les codes d'essai acoustique décrits dans le présent document permettent au fabricant de vérifier l'effort de conception à faible bruit.
