Acoustics - Measurement of sound pressure level from service equipment in buildings - Engineering method (ISO 16032:2004)
ISO 16032:2004 specifies methods for measuring the sound-pressure level produced by service equipment attached to or installed in buildings. It specifically covers measurements on sanitary installations, mechanical ventilation, heating and cooling service equipment, lifts, rubbish chutes, boilers, blowers, pumps and other auxiliary service equipment, and motor-driven car park doors, but can also be applied to other equipment attached to or installed in buildings.
The methods are suitable for rooms with volumes of approximately 300 cubic metres or less in e.g. dwellings, hotels, schools, offices and hospitals. The standard is not in general intended for measurements in large auditoria such as concert halls. However, the operating conditions and operating cycles in Annex B can be used in such cases.
The service equipment sound-pressure level is determined as the maximum A-weighted and optionally C-weighted sound-pressure level occurring during a specified operation cycle of the service equipment under test, or as the equivalent continuous sound-pressure level determined with a specified integration time. A-weighted and C-weighted values are calculated from octave-band measurements.

Introduction
This document specifies the engineering method for the measurement of sound pressure level from service
equipment in buildings. For use of this document measurements are performed under specified operation
conditions and operating cycles. Such conditions are given in Annex B.
The operating conditions and operating cycles given in Annex B are only used if they are not opposed to national
requirements and regulations.
1 Scope
This document specifies methods for measuring the sound pressure level from service equipment in buildings
installed to building structures. This document covers specifically measurements of sanitary installations,
mechanical ventilation, heating and cooling service equipment, lifts, rubbish chutes, boilers, blowers, pumps and
other auxiliary service equipment, and motor driven car park doors, but can also be applied to other equipment
attached to or installed in buildings.
The methods are suitable for rooms with volumes of approximately 300 m or less in e.g. dwellings, hotels, schools,
offices and hospitals. The standard is not in general intended for measurements in large auditoria and concert halls.
However, the operating conditions and operating cycles in Annex B can be used in such cases.
The service equipment sound pressure level is determined as the maximum A- weighted and optionally C- weighted
sound pressure level occurring during a specified operation cycle of the service equipment under test, or as the
equivalent continuous sound pressure level determined with a specified integration time. A-weighted and
C- weighted values are calculated from octave-band measurements.

4 Instrumentation
Measurement of the maximum sound pressure level according to this document implies the use of an octave-band
real-time frequency analyser. The analyser shall be able to read values of all octave-band sound pressure levels at
the time when the maximum A-weighted or C-weighted sound pressure level occurs (during a specified operating
cycle of the service equipment under test).
NOTE It is important to ensure that the equipment used according to this document fulfils the requirement stated above.
The most common analysers used for building acoustic measurements include this feature.
The instrumentation system, including the microphone and cable, shall meet the requirements for a class 1
instrument specified in EN 61672-1.
For measurements in octave-bands, the filters shall meet the requirements for class 1 filters specified in EN 61260.
At the beginning and at the end of the measurements verify the sensitivity of the instrumentation with a sound
calibrator class 1 according to EN 60942.
