Electroacoustics - Sound level meters - Part 1: Specifications

This part of IEC 61672 gives electroacoustical performance specifications for three kinds of sound measuring instruments: - a time-weighting sound level meter that measures exponential-time-weighted, frequencyweighted sound levels; - an integrating-averaging sound level meter that measures time-averaged, frequencyweighted sound levels; and - an integrating sound level meter that measures frequency-weighted sound exposure levels. Sound level meters conforming to the requirements of this standard have a specified frequency response for sound incident on the microphone from one principal direction in an acoustic free field or successively from random directions. Sound level meters specified in this standard are intended to measure sounds generally in the range of human hearing. NOTE The AU frequency weighting specified in IEC 61012 can be applied for measurements of A-weighted sound levels of audible sound in the presence of a source that contains spectral components at frequencies greater than 20 kHz. 1 Two performance categories, class 1 and class 2, are specified in this standard. In general, specifications for class 1 and class 2 sound level meters have the same design goals and differ mainly in the acceptance limits and the range of operational temperature. 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.

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 %.

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

International Standard IEC 61672-1 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 29,
Electroacoustics, in cooperation with the International Organization of Legal Metrology
(OIML).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2002. This second
edition constitutes a technical revision.
The main technical changes with respect to the previous edition are as follows:
In this second edition, conformance to specifications is demonstrated when:
a) measured deviations from design goals do not exceed the applicable acceptance limits,
and
b) the uncertainty of measurement does not exceed the corresponding maximum-permitted
uncertainty, with both uncertainties determined for a coverage probability of 95 %.

INTRODUCTION
For assessments of conformance to performance specifications, this second edition of
IEC 61672-1 uses different criteria than were used for the 2002 first edition.
In the period from 1961 to 1985, International Standards for sound level meters did not
provide any requirements or recommendations to account for the uncertainty of measurement
in assessments of conformance to specifications.
This absence of requirements or recommendations to account for uncertainty of measurement
created ambiguity in determinations of conformance to specifications for situations where a
measured deviation from a design goal was close to a limit of the allowed deviation. If
conformance was determined based on whether a measured deviation did or did not exceed
the limits, the end-user of the sound level meter incurred the risk that the true deviation from
a design goal exceeded the limits.
To remove this ambiguity, IEC Technical Committee 29, at its meeting in 1996, adopted a
policy to account for measurement uncertainty in assessments of conformance in International
Standards that it prepares.
The first edition (2002) of IEC 61672-1 accounted for measurement uncertainty by giving two
explicit criteria for determining conformance to the specifications. The two criteria were (a)
that measured deviations from design goals, extended by the expanded uncertainty of
measurement, do not exceed the applicable tolerance limits and (b) that the expanded
uncertainty of measurement does not exceed agreed-upon maximum values. For most
performance specifications, the tolerance limits were calculated essentially by extending the
allowances for design and manufacturing from the 1979 and 1985 International Standards for
sound level meters by the applicable maximum-permitted expanded uncertainties of
measurement. Tolerance limits were intended to represent the limits for true deviations from
design goals with a coverage probability of 95 %.
This second edition of IEC 61672-1 uses an amended criterion for assessing conformance to
a specification. Conformance is demonstrated when (a) measured deviations from design
goals do not exceed the applicable acceptance limits and (b) the uncertainty of measurement
does not exceed the corresponding maximum-permitted uncertainty. Acceptance limits are
analogous to the allowances for design and manufacturing implied in the first edition (2002) of
IEC 61672-1. Actual and maximum-permitted uncertainties are determined for a coverage
probability of 95 %. The amended criterion for assessing conformance does not necessitate
any change to the design of a sound level meter in order to conform to the specifications of
this International Standard.
The maximum-permitted uncertainties of measurement are not equivalent to the uncertainties
associated with the measurement of a sound level. The uncertainty of a measured sound level
is evaluated from the anticipated deviations of the electroacoustical performance of the sound
level meter from the relevant design goals as well as estimates of the uncertainties
associated with the specific measurement situation. Unless more-specific information is
available, the evaluation of the contribution of a specific sound level meter to a total
measurement uncertainty can be based on the acceptance limits and maximum-permitted
uncertainties specified in this standard.

Part 1: Specifications



1 Scope
This part of IEC 61672 gives electroacoustical performance specifications for three kinds of
sound measuring instruments:
• a time-weighting sound level meter that measures exponential-time-weighted, frequency-
weighted sound levels;
• an integrating-averaging sound level meter that measures time-averaged, frequency-
weighted sound levels; and
• an integrating sound level meter that measures frequency-weighted sound exposure
levels.
Sound level meters conforming to the requirements of this standard have a specified
frequency response for sound incident on the microphone from one principal direction in an
acoustic free field or successively from random directions.
Sound level meters specified in this standard are intended to measure sounds generally in the
range of human hearing.
NOTE The AU frequency weighting specified in IEC 61012 can be applied for measurements of A-weighted sound
levels of audible sound in the presence of a source that contains spectral components at frequencies greater than
1
20 kHz.
Two performance categories, class 1 and class 2, are specified in this standard. In general,
specifications for class 1 and class 2 sound level meters have the same design goals and
differ mainly in the acceptance limits and the range of operational temperature. 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.
