EN 61672-1:2013

Electroacoustics - Sound level meters - Part 1: Specifications

IEC 61672-1:2013 gives electroacoustical performance specifications for three kinds of sound measuring instruments: - time-weighting sound level meters that measure exponential-time-weighted, frequency-weighted sound levels; - integrating-averaging sound level meters that measure time-averaged, frequency-weighted sound levels; and - integrating sound level meters that measure frequency-weighted sound exposure levels. Sound level meters specified in this standard are intended to measure sounds generally in the range of human hearing. Two performance categories, class 1 and class 2, are specified in this standard. Acceptance limits for class 2 are greater than, or equal to, those for class 1. This standard is applicable to a range of designs for sound level meters. A sound level meter may be a self-contained hand-held instrument with an attached microphone and a built-in display device. A sound level meter may be comprised of separate components in one or more enclosures and may be capable of displaying a variety of acoustical signal levels. Sound level meters may include extensive analogue or digital signal processing, separately or in combination, with multiple analogue and digital outputs. Sound level meters may include general-purpose computers, recorders, printers, and other devices that form a necessary part of the complete instrument. Sound level meters may be designed for use with an operator present or for automatic and continuous measurements of sound level without an operator present. Specifications in this standard for the response to sound waves apply without an operator present in the sound field. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2002. It constitutes a technical revision. In this second edition, conformance to specifications is demonstrated when measured deviations from design goals do not exceed the applicable acceptance limits, and when the uncertainty of measurement does not exceed the corresponding maximum-permitted uncertainty, with both uncertainties determined for a coverage probability of 95 %.

Elektroakustik - Schallpegelmesser - Teil 1: Anforderungen

Electroacoustique - Sonomètres - Partie 1: Spécifications

La CEI 61672-1:2013 donne des spécifications pour les caractéristiques électroacoustiques de trois types d'instruments de mesure acoustique: - les sonomètres avec pondération temporelle, qui mesurent les niveaux acoustiques avec une pondération fréquentielle et une pondération temporelle exponentielle; - les sonomètres intégrateurs-moyenneurs, qui mesurent les niveaux acoustiques moyens avec une pondération fréquentielle; et - les sonomètres intégrateurs, qui mesurent les niveaux d'exposition au bruit avec une pondération fréquentielle. Les sonomètres spécifiés dans la présente norme sont destinés à mesurer les bruits généralement dans la gamme des fréquences audibles. Deux catégories de performances, la classe 1 et la classe 2, sont spécifiées dans la présente norme. Les limites d'acceptation concernant la classe 2 sont supérieures ou égales à celles de la classe 1. La présente norme s'applique à une gamme de conceptions pour sonomètres. Un sonomètre peut être un appareil formant une unité indépendante tenue à la main comportant un microphone et un dispositif d'affichage incorporé. Un sonomètre peut être également composé de plusieurs composants séparés contenus dans un ou plusieurs boîtiers et être capable d'afficher une variété de niveaux de signaux acoustiques. Les sonomètres peuvent comporter des dispositifs étendus de traitement analogique ou numérique du signal, séparément ou en combinaison, avec de multiples sorties analogiques ou numériques. Les sonomètres peuvent comporter des ordinateurs d'usage général, des enregistreurs, des imprimantes et d'autres dispositifs qui constituent des parties essentielles de l'instrument complet. Les sonomètres peuvent être conçus pour être utilisés en présence d'un opérateur ou pour des mesures de niveau acoustique automatiques et continues sans la présence d'un opérateur. Les spécifications contenues dans la présente norme concernant la réponse à des ondes acoustiques s'appliquent sans la présence d'opérateur dans le champ acoustique. La présente seconde édition annule et remplace la première édition parue en 2002. Cette seconde édition constitue une révision technique dans laquelle la conformité aux spécifications est démontrée lorsque les écarts mesurés par rapport aux valeurs nominales ne dépassent pas les limites d'acceptation applicables, et lorsque l'incertitude de mesure ne dépasse pas l'incertitude maximale autorisée correspondante, les deux incertitudes étant déterminées pour une probabilité de couverture de 95 %.
