Akustik - Bestimmung der Schalldämmung von Schallschutzkapseln - Teil 1: Messungen unter Laborbedingungen (Zum Zweck der Kennzeichnung) (ISO 11546-1:1995)

Diese Internationale Norm beschreibt Laborverfahren für die Bestimmung der Schalldämmung (Einfügungsdämm-Maß) kleiner Schallschutzkapseln für Maschinen. Die Norm gilt nur für eine vollständige Schallschutzkapsel und nicht für die einzelnen Wände, aus denen sie hergestellt wurde. Anmerkung: Die Schalldämmungen der Kapselteile, wie z.B. der Wandelemente, Türen, Fenster, Schalldämpfer usw. sollten nach anderen, diese betreffenden Normen gemessen werden.

L'IEC 62047-20:2014 spécifie les termes et définitions, les valeurs assignées et les caractéristiques, ainsi que les méthodes de mesure des gyroscopes. Les gyroscopes sont principalement utilisés dans des applications grand public, des applications industrielles générales et des applications aérospatiales. Les dispositifs microélectromécaniques (MEMS, Micro-Electrical-Mechanical Systems) et les lasers à semiconducteur sont largement utilisés dans la technologie des dispositifs de gyroscopes.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 11546-1 was prepared by Technical Committee
lSO/TC 43, Acoustics, Subcommittee SC 1, Noise.
ISO 11 546 consists of the following Parts, under the general title Aco IUS-
Determination of Sound insula tjon performances of enclosures:

- Part 7: Measuremen ts under laboratoty conditions (for declaration
purposes)
- Part 2: Measuremen ts in sjtu (for acceptance and verification pur-
