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 (ISO 11200:2014)

ISO 11200:2014 is the frame standard introducing the basic group, ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205, on the determination of emission sound pressure levels at work stations and other specified positions. It gives guidance for:
facilitating the writing of noise test codes;
providing physical explanations of this noise emission quantity compared to other noise quantities (see 4.1 to 4.3);
comparing the different measurement methods offered by the group;
facilitating the choice of the most appropriate method(s) in typical practical situations.
ISO 11200:2014 applies to airborne sound only. It is for use in noise testing, in general, and in the preparation of noise test codes, in particular.
A standardized noise test code is intended to select standards from the ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 group, which are the most appropriate to the machinery family it covers, and which give detailed requirements on mounting and operating conditions for the particular family, as well as the location of the work station(s) and other specified positions as prescribed in these International Standards.

ISO 11200:2014(E)
Introduction
0.1  For many users of machinery and equipment, the control of noise is a major issue which requires
effective exchange of acoustical information among the several parties concerned. These include the
manufacturer, installer and user of the machinery or equipment. This acoustical information is obtained
from measurements. The main flow of information goes from the manufacturer to the user.
These measurements are useful only if the conditions under which they are carried out are specified,
if they yield defined acoustical quantities, and if they are carried out using standardized instruments.
Two quantities which complement one another can be used to describe the sound emission of machinery
or equipment: the sound power level and the emission sound pressure level at a specified position. The
International Standards which describe the basic methods of determining the sound power level are
[2]
ISO 3740, ISO 3741, ISO 3743 (all parts), ISO 3744, ISO 3745, ISO 3746 and ISO 3747 (determination from
sound pressure level measurements), and ISO 9614-1, ISO 9614-2 and ISO 9614-3 (determination from
sound intensity measurements). This International Standard introduces a group of five International
Standards describing various methods for determining emission sound pressure levels of machinery
and equipment taking into account possible situations for the source under test (mobile machine, fixed
machine, various test rooms, various instrumentations, different kinds of work stations, etc.).
It is not the intention of this group of International Standards to describe procedures for measuring the
[4]
occupational noise exposure of workers; for occupational noise exposure, see ISO 9612.
0.2  Emission sound pressure levels in conjunction with sound power levels are used for declaration
of the noise emitted under the defined conditions, verification of declared values, comparison of the
noise emitted by machinery of various types and sizes, comparison with limits specified in a purchasing
contract or a regulation, engineering work to reduce the noise emission of machinery, and prediction of
noise exposure at the specified positions.
Included in this group of International Standards are three, which describe procedures for measuring
emission sound pressure levels directly, in different test environments (ISO 11201, ISO 11202 and
ISO 11204), a fourth (ISO 11203), which gives procedures for determining emission sound pressure
levels from the sound power level and a fifth (ISO 11205), which gives a procedure for determining the
emission sound pressure level from measured values of the sound intensity level.
0.3  In general, these sound pressure levels are different from those which occur if the machinery or
equipment operates in its installed surroundings, where the environment influences the sound pressure
level at work stations or other specified positions. The selection of standards for the determination of
the sound power level can, for practical reasons, have consequences on the selection of standards for
the determination of the emission sound pressure level. It is preferable to make the choice of standards
concurrently with respect to the two noise emission quantities.
0.4  Standards in the ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 group are often used
in practice through their reference in standardized noise test codes (see 3.25). If a particular noise test
code exists for a family of machinery, it is intended that it be used. For drafting a noise test code, it is
[6]
recommended to be familiar with ISO 12001.
0.5  The reasons for revising the ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 group were
manifold:
— the need arose to introduce a grade 1 method into the group in order to enhance the similarity with
the ISO 3741, ISO 3743 (all parts), ISO 3744, ISO 3745, ISO 3746 and ISO 3747 group of International
Standards on the determination of sound power level;
— feedback from experience with the use of the group showed that the ISO 11202 method gave more
precise results than initially thought, hence the introduction into ISO 11202 of the possibility to get
grade 2 results;
— as source directivity plays a key role with regard to the emission sound pressure level, pragmatism
led to introduce this parameter into the ISO 11202 and ISO 11204 methods;
ISO 11200:2014(E)
— as measurement uncertainty was becoming a more and more central issue, the need arose to address
the issue again in the light of the experience gained with the use of ISO/IEC GUIDE 98-3.
No research was carried out in order to revise the ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and
ISO 11205 group. Only existing knowledge was used.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11200:2014(E)
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
1 Scope
This International Standard is the frame standard introducing the basic group, ISO 11201, ISO 11202,
ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205, on the determination of emission sound pressure levels at work
stations and other specified positions. It gives guidance for:
— facilitating the writing of noise test codes;
— providing physical explanations of this noise emission quantity compared to other noise
quantities (see 4.1 to 4.3);
— comparing the different measurement methods offered by the group (see Table 1);
— facilitating the choice of the most appropriate method(s) in typical practical situations (Clause 6).
This International Standard is largely based on flow charts and tables. Case studies are described.
The guidance given applies to airborne sound only. It is for use in noise testing, in general, and in the
preparation of noise test codes, in particular.
A standardized noise test code is intended to select standards from the ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203,
ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 group, which are the most appropriate to the machinery family it covers, and
which give detailed requirements on mounting and operating conditions for the particular family, as well
as the location of the work station(s) and other specified positions as prescribed in these International
Standards.
The data so obtained can be used for the declaration and verification of emission sound pressure levels,
[3]
e.g. as specified in ISO 4871.

4 Emission sound pressure level at work stations and other specified positions
4.1 Physical background
A microphone positioned at the work station or the specified position does not measure the emission
sound pressure level only. It really measures the sound received directly from the machine (emission)
combined with the sound coming from other noise sources present and the sound reflected by walls,
floor, ceiling and obstacles in the room in which the machine is located.
The “emission” component shall be extracted from this total. Extraction is particularly difficult
when the sound pressure level at the work station (or any other specified position) includes a strong
8 © ISO 2014 – All rights reserved

ISO 11200:2014(E)
environmental component. This happens when the machine operates in a reverberant space and does
not radiate its sound energy towards the work station. This extreme situation illustrates the important
role that the directivity of the source plays in relation to the nature of the test environment (see 4.5) and
explains why the determination of emission sound pressure levels is not straightforward and requires
measurement methods that are more complex than expected.
At any given position in relation to a particular machine, and for given mounting and operating
conditions, the emission sound pressure levels determined using any of the methods given in ISO 11201,
ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 will in general be lower than the directly measured sound
pressure levels for the same machine operating in its installed environment. This is due to the influence
of the environment (reverberation) and the contributions of noise from other machines. A method of
calculating the sound pressure levels in the vicinity of a machine operating alone in a workroom is
[5]
given in ISO/TR 11690-3. Commonly observed differences are 1 dB to 5 dB, but in extreme cases the
difference can be even larger.
The influence of this environment at the work station position or any other specified position is
described by a local environmental correction K . Methods for determining K are provided in ISO 11202
3 3
and ISO 11204. ISO 11201 does not consider K because this standard covers the situation where the
influence of the environment is negligible (K = 0).
4.2 Difference between noise exposure level of persons and noise emission level
Noise exposure and noise emission are two very different concepts that have to be clearly distinguished.
Noise exposure levels are different from noise emission levels. Noise exposure relates to a person in the
actual environment. Noise emission relates to a source of sound independently of the environment in
which it operates.
It is not the intent of the group of International Standards (i.e. ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203,
ISO 11204 and ISO 11205) to describe procedures for measuring the occupational noise exposure of
workers. Emission sound pressure levels are not averages over a total working day during which the
machinery might perform different functions, operate at different control settings, or undergo changes
[4]
of workload. A method for determining the noise exposure of persons is given in ISO 9612.
4.3 Difference between sound power level of machinery and sound pressure level
The sound power level characterizes the acoustic energy radiated in the air by a source for a given
mounting and operating condition. It is an intrinsic feature of the source independent of the environment
in which it operates.
As opposed to the sound power level, the sound pressure level characterizes the noise present at a
particular point in space.
Just as for the sound power level, the emission sound pressure level at a work station or a specified
position is an intrinsic characteristic of the machine.
4.4 Reasons for determining the emission sound pressure level
Examples of situations where the emission sound pressure level at the work station(s) of a source might
be of interest are:
— manufacturer noise emission declaration according to regulations for machinery safety;
— customer need for input to sound exposure prediction models;
— customer need for data for comparing with competing machinery and equipment on the market (e.g.
operator attended heavy machinery) to use “less noise emitted” as a purchasing parameter;
NOTE For some families of machines, e.g. information technology equipment, the preferred quantity on
which to compare equipment on the market is the sound power level.
ISO 11200:2014(E)
— requirements in a specification to check the noise level of equipment regardless of the environment
in which it operates.
4.5 How the source directivity is handled in the ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203,
ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 group
ISO 11202 and ISO 11204 consider the directivity of the source.
ISO 11202 (method A.2) and ISO 11204 consider the directivity of the source by measuring the
A-weighted sound pressure level at a set of microphone positions situated around the machine at a
fixed distance from it in order to determine the directivity index. These levels describe the apparent
work station directivity as they are contaminated by the sound energy coming from reflections within
the environment where the machine operates. In ISO 11202 (method A.2), for the s
