ISO 11690-1:2020(E)
Introduction
Several standards specify methods for measurement and/or evaluation of noise. The final objective of
the ISO 11690 series is noise reduction.
A number of noise control measures are offered. However, in order to be effective, the most appropriate
noise control measure(s) should be chosen for a given situation.
It is important when non-acoustic engineers are involved in noise control practice for these engineers
to have a basic knowledge of noise emission and propagation characteristics and to understand the
basic principles of noise control.
To assist in the development of noise control in the workplace, it is essential that the information
contained in these recommended practices is disseminated through International Standards.
In order to reduce noise as a hazard in the workplace, individual countries have produced national
legislation. Generally, such national legislation requires noise control measures to be carried out in
order to achieve the lowest reasonable levels of noise emission, noise immission and noise exposure,
taking into account:
— known available measures;
— the state of the art regarding technical progress;
— the treatment of noise at source;
— appropriate planning, procurement and installation of machines and equipment.
This part of ISO 11690, together with the two other parts in the series, outlines procedures to be
considered when dealing with noise control at workplaces, within workrooms and in the open. These
recommended practices give in relatively simple terms the basic information necessary for all parties
involved in noise control in workplaces and in the design of low-noise workplaces to promote the
understanding of the desired noise control requirements.
The purpose of the ISO 11690 series is to bridge the gap between existing literature on noise control and
the practical implementation of noise control measures. In principle, the series applies to all workplaces
and its main function is:
— to provide simple, brief information on some aspects of noise control in workplaces;
— to act as a guide to help in the understanding of requirements in standards, directives, text books,
manuals, reports and other specialized technical documents;
— to provide assistance in decision making when assessing the various measures available.
The ISO 11690 series should be useful to persons such as plant personnel, health and safety officers,
engineers, managers, staff in planning and purchasing departments, architects and suppliers of plants,
machines and equipment. However, the above-mentioned parties should keep in mind that adherence
to the recommendations of the ISO 11690 series is not all that is necessary to create a safe workplace.
The effects of noise on health, well-being and human activity are many. By giving guidelines for noise
control strategies and measures, the ISO 11690 series aims at a reduction of the impact of noise on
human beings at workplaces. Assessment of the impact of noise on human beings is dealt with in other
documents.

Introduction
Several standards specify methods for measurement and/or evaluation of noise. The final objective of
the ISO 11690 series is noise reduction.
A number of noise control measures are offered. However, in order to be effective, the most appropriate
noise control measure(s) should be chosen for a given situation.
It is important when non-acoustic engineers are involved in noise control practice for these engineers
to have a basic knowledge of noise emission and propagation characteristics and to understand the
basic principles of noise control.
To assist in the development of noise control in the workplace, it is essential that the information
contained in these recommended practices is disseminated through International Standards.
In order to reduce noise as a hazard in the workplace, individual countries have produced national
legislation. Generally, such national legislation requires noise control measures to be carried out in
order to achieve the lowest reasonable levels of noise emission, noise immission and noise exposure,
taking into account:
— known available measures;
— the state of the art regarding technical progress;
— the treatment of noise at source;
— appropriate planning, procurement and installation of machines and equipment.
This part of ISO 11690, together with the two other parts in the series, outlines procedures to be
considered when dealing with noise control at workplaces, within workrooms and in the open. These
recommended practices give in relatively simple terms the basic information necessary for all parties
involved in noise control in workplaces and in the design of low-noise workplaces to promote the
understanding of the desired noise control requirements.
The purpose of the ISO 11690 series is to bridge the gap between existing literature on noise control and
the practical implementation of noise control measures. In principle, the series applies to all workplaces
and its main function is:
— to provide simple, brief information on some aspects of noise control in workplaces;
— to act as a guide to help in the understanding of requirements in standards, directives, text books,
manuals, reports and other specialized technical documents;
— to provide assistance in decision making when assessing the various measures available.
The ISO 11690 series should be useful to persons such as plant personnel, health and safety officers,
engineers, managers, staff in planning and purchasing departments, architects and suppliers of plants,
machines and equipment. However, the above-mentioned parties should keep in mind that adherence
to the recommendations of the ISO 11690 series is not all that is necessary to create a safe workplace.
The effects of noise on health, well-being and human activity are many. By giving guidelines for noise
control strategies and measures, the ISO 11690 series aims at a reduction of the impact of noise on
human beings at workplaces. Assessment of the impact of noise on human beings is dealt with in other
documents.

noise workplaces containing machinery —
Part 1:
Noise control strategies
1 Scope
This document outlines strategies to be used in dealing with noise problems in existing and planned
workplaces by describing basic concepts in noise control (noise reduction, noise emission, noise
immission and noise exposure). It is applicable to all types of workplaces and all types of sources of
sound which are met in workplaces, including human activities.
It includes those important strategies to adopt when buying a new machine or equipment.
This document deals only with audible sound.

transformed into heat (i.e. is absorbed) and a proportion goes through the wall to the other side (i.e. is
transmitted). The sound insulation of the wall determines what proportion of the incident sound is transmitted.

and absorbent ceiling), or
— the absorption is high.
