OF AIRBORNE ACOUSTICAL NOISE –
Part 1: General requirements
FOREWORD

1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising

all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote

international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To

this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,

Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC

Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested

in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-

governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely

with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by

agreement between the two organizations.

2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international

consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all

interested IEC National Committees.

3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National

Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC

Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any

misinterpretation by any end user.

4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications

transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence

between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in

the latter.

5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity

assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any

services carried out by independent certification bodies.

6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and

members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or

other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and

expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC

Publications.

8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is

indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of

patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

International Standard IEC 60704-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 59:

Performance of household and similar electrical appliances.

This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2010. This edition

constitutes a technical revision.

It includes the following significant changes with respect to the previous edition:

a) update of references (especially to ISO standards);
b) revision of requirements on climatic conditions;
c) revision of requirements on background noise level.

INTRODUCTION

Although the noise emitted by household appliances does not generally present a hazard to

the hearing of the operator and other exposed persons, the need for standardization

procedures for the determination of the noise emitted has been recognized for a long time.

Such procedures should be specified, not only for special types of appliances, but also the

principles should be applicable to the majority of appliances in general use.

Generally, the determination of noise levels is only part of a comprehensive testing procedure

covering many aspects of the properties and performances of the appliance. It is therefore

important that the requirements for noise measurements (such as test environment,

instrumentation, and amount of labour involved) be kept at a modest level.

The results of noise measurements are used for many purposes, for example for noise

declaration, as well as for comparing the noise emitted by a specific appliance to the noise

emitted by other appliances of the same family. In other cases, the results are taken as a

basis for engineering action in the development stages of new pieces of equipment, or in

deciding on means for sound insulation. For all purposes, it is important to specify procedures

with known accuracy so that the results of measurements taken by different laboratories can

be compared.

These conditions have, as far as possible, been taken into account in the preparation of this

test code. The acoustic measuring methods are based on those described in
ISO 3743‑1:2010, ISO 3743-2:2018 and ISO 3744:2010.

The adoption of these methods permits the use of hemi-anechoic rooms, special reverberation

test rooms and hard-walled test rooms. The result of the measurements is the sound power

level of the appliance. Within the measuring uncertainty specific to these methods, the results

from the determination under free field conditions over a reflecting plane are equal to those

obtained in reverberant fields.

The use of intensity methods as described in ISO 9614-1:1993, ISO 9614-2:1996, and

ISO 9614-3:2002 is applicable under special conditions, which are described in specific parts

of the IEC 60704-2 series.

This test code is concerned with airborne noise only. In some cases, structure-borne noise,

for example transmitted to the adjoining room, can be of importance.

1 Scope

This part of IEC 60704 applies to electric appliances (including their accessories or

components) for household and similar use, supplied from mains or from batteries.

By "similar use" is understood the use in conditions similar to those found in households, for

example in inns, coffee houses, tea rooms, hotels, barber or hairdresser shops, launderettes,

etc., if not otherwise specified in the IEC 60704-2 series.
This document does not apply to

4.1 General

This document is concerned with objective methods of engineering accuracy grade 2 in

accordance with ISO 12001:1996 for determining sound power levels L , expressed in

decibels (dB), with reference to a sound power of one picowatt (1 pW), of airborne acoustical
