Acoustics - Determination of sound power levels and sound energy levels of noise sources using sound pressure - Engineering/survey methods for use in situ in a reverberant environment (ISO 3747:2010)

This International Standard specifies a method for determining the sound power level or sound energy level of a noise source by comparing measured sound pressure levels emitted by a noise source (machinery or equipment) mounted in situ in a reverberant environment, with those from a calibrated reference sound source. The sound power level (or, in the case of noise bursts or transient noise emission, the sound energy level) produced by the noise source, in frequency bands of width one octave, is calculated using those measurements. The sound power level or sound energy level with frequency A-weighting applied is calculated using the octave-band levels.

Akustik - Bestimmung der Schallleistungs- und Schallenergiepegel von Geräuschquellen aus Schalldruckmessungen - Verfahren der Genauigkeitsklassen 2 und 3 zur Anwendung in situ in einer halligen Umgebung (ISO 3747:2010)

1.1 Allgemeines
Diese Internationale Norm legt ein Verfahren für die Bestimmung des Schallleistungs- oder Schallenergiepegels
einer Geräuschquelle fest, bei dem die von einer Geräuschquelle (Maschine oder Gerät) an
ihrem üblichen Aufstellungsort (in situ) erzeugten und in einer halligen Umgebung gemessenen Schalldruckpegel
mit denen von einer kalibrierten Vergleichsschallquelle verglichen werden. Der von der Geräuschquelle
erzeugte Schallleistungspegel (oder der Schallenergiepegel bei Impulsen oder anderen Geräuschen kurzer
Dauer) wird aus diesen Messungen in Oktavbändern berechnet. Der A-bewertete Schallleistungs- oder
Schallenergiepegel wird aus den Oktavbandpegeln berechnet.
1.2 Art der Geräusche und Geräuschquellen
Das in dieser Internationalen Norm festgelegte Verfahren ist für alle in ISO 12001 definierten Arten von
Geräuschen geeignet (gleichförmige, ungleichförmige, schwankende, Einzel-Schallimpulse usw.). Das
Verfahren ist vorrangig auf Quellen anwendbar, die ein breitbandiges Geräusch abstrahlen. Es darf jedoch
auch für Quellen benutzt werden, die ein schmalbandiges Geräusch oder Einzeltöne abstrahlen, obwohl dann
die Möglichkeit besteht, dass die Vergleichbarkeit der Messung herabgesetzt ist.
Die zu untersuchende Geräuschquelle kann ein Gerät, eine Maschine, Komponente oder Baugruppe sein,
insbesondere eine, die nicht fortbewegt werden kann.
1.3 Messumgebung
Die für Messungen nach dieser Internationalen Norm verwendbare Messumgebung ist ein Raum, in dem der
Schalldruckpegel an den Mikrofonpositionen hauptsächlich durch die Reflexionen an den Oberflächen des
Raumes bestimmt wird (siehe 4.1). Bei Messungen mit der Genauigkeitsklasse 2 nach ISO 12001:1996 muss
der Fremdgeräuschpegel in der Messumgebung notwendigerweise niedrig im Vergleich zu dem der
Geräuschquelle oder der Vergleichsschallquelle sein (siehe 4.2).

Acoustique - Détermination des niveaux de puissance acoustique et des niveaux d'énergie acoustique émis par les sources de bruit à partir de la pression acoustique - Méthode d'expertise et de contrôle pour une utilisation in situ en environnement réverbérant (ISO 3747:2010)

L'ISO 3747:2010 spécifie une méthode de détermination du niveau de puissance acoustique ou du niveau d'énergie acoustique d'une source de bruit en comparant les niveaux de pression acoustique mesurés émis par une source de bruit (machine ou équipement) montée in situ dans un environnement réverbérant, à ceux d'une source sonore de référence étalonnée. Le niveau de puissance acoustique (ou, dans le cas d'impulsions sonores ou d'émissions sonores transitoires, le niveau d'énergie acoustique) produit par la source de bruit, par bandes de fréquences d'une largeur égale à une octave, est calculé en utilisant ces mesurages. Le niveau de puissance acoustique ou le niveau d'énergie acoustique avec la pondération fréquentielle A appliquée sont calculés au moyen des niveaux par bande d'octave.
La méthode spécifiée dans l'ISO 3747:2010 est applicable à tous les types de bruit (stable, non stable, fluctuant, impulsions acoustiques isolées, etc.) définis dans l'ISO 12001. Elle s'applique principalement aux sources qui émettent un bruit à large bande. Cependant, elle peut également s'appliquer aux sources qui émettent un bruit à bande étroite ou des sons purs, bien que la reproductibilité du mesurage puisse s'en trouver réduite.
La source de bruit en essai peut être un dispositif, une machine, un composant ou un sous-ensemble, en particulier ceux ne pouvant pas être déplacés.
L'environnement d'essai applicable aux mesurages réalisés conformément à l'ISO 3747:2010 est une salle dans laquelle le niveau de pression acoustique aux différentes positions de microphone dépend principalement des réflexions par les surfaces de la salle. Dans les mesurages de classe de précision expertise (classe 2) telle que spécifiée dans l'ISO 12001:1996, le bruit de fond dans l'environnement d'essai est faible par comparaison avec celui de la source de bruit ou de la source sonore de référence.
Des informations sont données sur l'incertitude associée aux niveaux de puissance acoustique et aux niveaux d'énergie acoustique déterminés conformément à l'ISO 3747:2010, pour des mesurages effectués dans des bandes d'octave, ainsi que pour les niveaux pondérés A calculés à partir de ces mesures. La reproductibilité est conforme à la classe de précision expertise (classe 2) ou à la classe de précision contrôle (classe 3) telles que définies dans l'ISO 12001:1996, en fonction du degré de conformité aux exigences relatives à l'environnement d'essai.

Ta mednarodni standard opredeljuje metodo določanja ravni zvočnih moči ali ravni zvočne energije virov hrupa s primerjavo izmerjenih ravni zvočnih moči, ki jih oddaja vir hrupa (stroj ali oprema), nameščen na kraju samem v odmevnem okolju, s tistimi iz kalibriranega referenčnega vira hrupa. Raven moči zvoka (ali, v primeru prodorov hrupa ali prehodnih emisij hrupa, raven zvočne energije), ki jo proizvede vir hrupa v frekvenčnih pasovih širine ene oktave, je izračunana z uporabo teh merjenj. Raven moči zvoka ali raven energije zvoka, pri kateri je uporabljeno frekvenčno uteženje A, se izračuna z uporabo ravni oktavnega pasu.

ISO 3747:2010(E) iv © ISO 2010 – All rights reserved Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 3747 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 43, Acoustics, Subcommittee SC 1, Noise.

ISO 3747:2010(E) © ISO 2010 – All rights reserved v Introduction This International Standard is one of the series ISO 3741[2] to ISO 3747, which specify various methods for determining the sound power levels and sound energy levels of noise sources including machinery, equipment and their sub-assemblies. The selection of one of the methods from the series for use in a particular application depends on the purpose of the test to determine the sound power level or sound energy level and on the facilities available. General guidelines to assist in the selection are provided in ISO 3740[1]. ISO 3740[1] to ISO 3747 give only general principles regarding the operating and mounting conditions of the machinery or equipment for the purposes of the test. It is important that test codes be established for individual kinds of noise source, in order to give detailed requirements for mounting, loading, and operating conditions under which the sound power levels or sound energy levels are to be obtained. The method given in this International Standard is based on a comparison of the sound pressure levels in octave frequency bands of a noise source under test with those of a calibrated reference sound source; A-weighted sound power levels or sound energy levels may be calculated from the octave-band levels. The method is applied where the noise source is found in situ and as such is suitable for larger pieces of stationary equipment which, due to their manner of operation or installation, cannot readily be moved. The method specified in this International Standard permits the determination of the sound power level and the sound energy level in octave bands from which the A-weighted value is calculated. This International Standard describes a method giving results of either ISO 12001:1996, accuracy grade 2 (engineering grade) or ISO 12001:1996, accuracy grade 3 (survey grade), depending on the extent to which the requirements concerning the test environment are met. For applications where greater accuracy is required, reference can be made to ISO 3741[2], ISO 3744[5] or an appropriate part of ISO 9614[17]-[19]. If the relevant criteria for the measurement environment specified in this International Standard are not met, it might be possible to refer to another standard from this series, or to an appropriate part of ISO 9614[17]-[19].

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 3747:2010(E) © ISO 2010 – All rights reserved 1 Acoustics — Determination of sound power levels and sound energy levels of noise sources using sound pressure — Engineering/survey methods for use in situ in a reverberant environment 1 Scope 1.1 General This International Standard specifies a method for determining the sound power level or sound energy level of a noise source by comparing measured sound pressure levels emitted by a noise source (machinery or equipment) mounted in situ in a reverberant environment, with those from a calibrated reference sound source. The sound power level (or, in the case of noise bursts or transient noise emission, the sound energy level) produced by the noise source, in frequency bands of width one octave, is calculated using those measurements. The sound power level or sound energy level with frequency A-weighting applied is calculated using the octave-band levels. 1.2 Types of noise and noise sources The method specified in this International Standard is suitable for all types of noise (steady, non-steady, fluctuating, isolated bursts of sound energy, etc.) defined in ISO 12001. The method is primarily applicable to sources which emit broad-band noise. It can, however, also be used for sources which emit narrow-band noise or discrete tones, although there is a possibility that the measurement reproducibility is then degraded. The noise source under test can be a device, machine, component or sub-assembly, especially one which is non-movable. 1.3 Test environment The test environment that is applicable for measurements made in accordance with this International Standard is a room where the sound pressure level at the microphone positions depends mainly on reflections from the room surfaces (see 4.1). In measurements of ISO 12001:1996, accuracy grade 2 (engineering grade), background noise in the test environment is low compared to that of the noise source or reference sound source (see 4.2). 1.4 Measurement uncertainty Information is given on the uncertainty of the sound power levels and sound energy levels determined in accordance with this International Standard, for measurements made in octave bands and for A-weighted frequency calculations performed on them. The uncertainty conforms with that of either ISO 12001:1996, accuracy grade 2 (engineering grade) or ISO 12001:1996, accuracy grade 3 (survey grade), depending on the extent to which the requirements concerning the test environment are met.

The method of test specified in this International Standard is for application in a reverberant sound field. The test environment shall therefore be sufficiently reverberant to cause the directivity of the source under test to have an insignificant influence on the sound pressure levels measured according to 7.5 and 7.6. The indicator, excess of sound pressure level at a given distance, ûLf, shall be determined in accordance with Annex A, and shall have a magnitude of at least 7 dB in regions where the requirement for a reverberant sound field is fulfilled. This indicator serves as the parameter by which to assess the measurement uncertainty, see Clause 9. 4.2 Criterion for background noise At each microphone position, the octave-band sound pressure levels due to background noise shall be at least 6 dB and preferably more than 15 dB below the octave-band sound pressure levels from the noise source under test and from the reference sound source. NOTE If it is necessary to make measurements where the difference between the sound pressure levels of the background noise and the sources is less than 6 dB, ISO 3746[7], ISO 9614-1[17] or ISO 9614-2[18] can be used. 5 Instrumentation and measurement equipment 5.1 General The instrumentation system, including the microphones and cables, shall meet the requirements of IEC 61672-1:2002, class 1, and the filters shall meet the requirements of IEC 61260:1995, class 1. The reference sound source shall meet the requirements given in ISO 6926. 5.2 Calibration Before and after each series of measurements, a sound calibrator meeting the requirements of IEC 60942:2003, class 1 shall be applied to each microphone to verify the calibration of the entire measurement system at one or more frequencies within the frequency range of interest. Without any adjustment, the difference between the readings before and after each series of measurements shall be less than or equal to 0,5 dB. If this value is exceeded, the results of the series of measurements shall be discarded. SIST EN ISO 3747:2011



ISO 3747:2010(E) © ISO 2010 – All rights reserved 7 The calibration of the sound calibrator, the compliance of the instrumentation system with the requirements of IEC 61672-1, and the compliance of the reference sound source with the requirements of ISO 6926, shall be verified at intervals in a laboratory making calibrations traceable to appropriate standards. Unless national regulations dictate otherwise, it is recommended that the sound calibrator should be calibrated at intervals not exceeding 1 year, the reference sound source should be calibrated at intervals not exceeding 2 years, and the compliance of the instrumentation system with the requirements of IEC 61672-1 should be verified at intervals not exceeding 2 years. 6 Location, installation and operation of noise source under test 6.1 Source location and installation Since the test procedure is designed for use in situ, the installation and location of the noise source under test have to be those where the source is found. However, the sound power or sound energy emitted by a source can be affected by the manner of installation and its location, for instance, relative to nearby walls or other reflecting surfaces.
Many small sound sources, although themselves poor radiators of low-frequency sound, can, as a result of the method of mounting, radiate more low-frequency
