Acoustics - Noise emitted by machinery and equipment - Measurement of emission sound pressure levels at a work station and at other specified positions - Engineering method in an essentially free field over a reflecting plane (ISO 11201:1995, including Cor 1:1997)

This International Standard specifies a method for measuring the emission sound pressure levels of machinery and equipment, at a work station and at other specified positions nearby, in an essentially free field over a reflecting plane. A work station is occupied by an operator. It may be located in open space in the room where the source operates, or in a cab fixed to the source, or in an enclosure remote from the source. One or more specified positions may be located in the vicinity of a work station, or in the vicinity of an unattended machine. As some of these positions may be occupied occasionally or regularly, they are sometimes referred to as bystander positions. Emission sound pressure levels are measured as Aweighted and, if required, C-weighted peak, and in frequency bands. NOTE 1 The contents of this and related International Standards are summarized in table 1 of IS0 11200:1995. This International Standard specifies requirements for the engineering grade of accuracy on the test environment and instrumentation. Corrections are applied for background noise, but not for the acoustic environment. Instructions are given for the installation and operation of the machine under test and for the choice of microphone positions for the work station and for other specified positions. The purpose of the measurements is to permit comparison of the performance of different units of a given family of machinery or equipment, under defined environmental conditions and standardized mounting and operatingconditions. The data obtained may also be used for the declaration and verification of emission sound pressure levels as specified in IS0 4871. NOTE 2 At any given position in relation to a particular machine, and for given mounting and operating conditions, the emission sound pressure levels determined by the method of this International Standard will in general be lower than the directly measured sound pressure levels for the same machine in the typical workroom where it is used. This is due to reverberation and the contributions of other machines. A method of calculating the sound pressure levels in the vicinity of a machine operating alone in a workroom is given in IS0 11690-3. Commonly observed differences are 1 dB to 5 dB, but in extreme cases the difference may be even greater.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
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. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
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.

Introduction
0.1 This International Standard specifies a method for measuring the
emission sound pressure levels at a work station and at other specified
positions, in the vicinity of a machine or piece of equipment, in an essen-
tially free field over a reflecting plane. In general, these sound pressure
levels will be equal to or lower than those that would occur when the
machinery or equipment is operating in its normal surroundings. This is
because the sound pressure levels are determined by excluding the ef-
fects of background noise, as well as the effects of reflections other than
those from the reflecting plane on which the machine under test is placed.
0.2 This International Standard is one of a series (IS0 11200 to
IS0 11204) which specifies various methods for determining the noise
emissions of a piece of machinery or equipment, or a sub-assembly of
such equipment (machine under test). IS0 11200 gives guidance on the
choice of the method to be used to determine the emission sound
pressure levels of machinery and equipment. It also gives details of lnter-
national Standards giving methods for the determination of sound power
levels.

IS0 11201:1995(E) Foreword IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 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. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. 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. International Standard IS0 11201 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 43, Acoustics, Subcommittee SC 1, Noise.

0 IS0 IS0 11201:1995(E) Introduction 0.1 This International Standard specifies a method for measuring the emission sound pressure levels at a work station and at other specified positions, in the vicinity of a machine or piece of equipment, in an essen- tially free field over a reflecting plane. In general, these sound pressure levels will be equal to or lower than those that would occur when the machinery or equipment is operating in its normal surroundings. This is because the sound pressure levels are determined by excluding the ef- fects of background noise, as well as the effects of reflections other than those from the reflecting plane on which the machine under test is placed. 0.2 This International Standard is one of a series (IS0 11200 to IS0 11204) which specifies various methods for determining the noise emissions of a piece of machinery or equipment, or a sub-assembly of such equipment (machine under test). IS0 11200 gives guidance on the choice of the method to be used to determine the emission sound pressure levels of machinery and equipment. It also gives details of lnter- national Standards giving methods for the determination of sound power levels. kSIST FprEN ISO 11201:2009

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD 0 IS0 IS0 11201:1995(E) Acoustics - Noise emitted by machinery and equipment - Measurement of emission sound pressure levels at a work station and at other specified positions - Engineering method in an essentially free field over a reflecting plane 1 Scope 1 .l General This International Standard specifies a method for measuring the emission sound pressure levels of machinery and equipment, at a work station and at other specified positions nearby, in an essentially free field over a reflecting plane. A work station is occu- pied by an operator. It may be located in open space in the room where the source operates, or in a cab fixed to the source, or in an enclosure remote from the source. One or more specified positions may be located in the vicinity of a work station, or in the vi- cinity of an unattended machine. As some of these positions may be occupied occasionally or regularly, they are sometimes referred to as bystander pos- itions. Emission sound pressure levels are measured as A- weighted and, if required, C-weighted peak, and in frequency bands. NOTE 1 The contents of this and related International Standards are summarized in table 1 of IS0 11200:1995. This International Standard specifies requirements for the engineering grade of accuracy on the test en- vironment and instrumentation. Corrections are ap- plied for background noise, but not for the acoustic environment. Instructions are given for the installation and operation of the machine under test and for the choice of microphone positions for the work station and for other specified positions. The purpose of the measurements is to permit comparison of the per- formance of different units of a given family of ma- chinery or equipment, under defined environmental conditions and standardized mounting and operating conditions. The data obtained may also be used for the declaration and verification of emission sound pressure levels as specified in IS0 4871. NOTE 2 At any given position in relation to a particular machine, and for given mounting and operating conditions, the emission sound pressure levels determined by the method of this International Standard will in general be lower than the directly measured sound pressure levels for the same machine in the typical workroom where it is used. This is due to reverberation and the contributions of other machines. A method of calculating the sound pressure lev- els in the vicinity of a machine operating alone in a workroom is given in IS0 11690-3. Commonly observed differences are 1 dB to 5 dB, but in extreme cases the dif- ference may be even greater. 1.2 Types of noise and noise sources The method specified in this lnternationa applicable to all types of machinery, both stationary, for indoor or outdoor use. The method is applicable to machines of l Standard is moving and II sizes, and to all types of noise as defined in IS0 2204 and IS0 12001. I .3 Test environment The type of test environment influences the accuracy of the determination of emission sound pressure lev- els. An essentially free field over a reflecting plane (indoors or outdoors) is required. kSIST FprEN ISO 11201:2009



IS0 11201:1995(E) 0 IS0 1.4 Specified positions This International Standard is applicable to work stations and other specified positions where emission sound pressure levels are to be measured. Examples of appropriate positions where measure- ments may be made include the following: a) work station located in the vicinity of the machine under test; this is the case for many industrial machines and domestic appliances; b) work station within a cab which is an integral part of the machine under test; this is the case for many industrial trucks and earth-moving ma- chines; c) work station within a partial or total enclosure (or behind a screen) supplied by the manufacturer as an integral part of the machinery or equipment; d) work station partially or totally enclosed by the machine under test; this situation may be en- countered with some large industrial machines; bystander positions occupied by individuals not responsible for the operation of the machine under test, but who may be in its immediate vi- cinity, either occasionally or continuously; other specified positions, not necessarily work stations or bystander positions. The work station may also lie on a specified path along which an operator moves (see 11.4). 1.5 Measurement uncertainty While it is not possible to give universal values for the standard deviation of reproducibility of emission sound pressure levels at work stations, guidance is given in clause 4. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard.

It is expressed in pascals. 3.3 emission sound pressure level, Lp: Ten times the logarithm to the base 10 of the ratio of the square of the emission sound pressure, p2 1 t), to the square of the reference sound pressure, po, measured with a particular time weighting and a particular frequency weighting, selected from those defined in IEC 651. It is expressed in decibels. The reference sound press- ure is 20 PPa.

It is expressed in decibels and is given by the follow- ing equation: 2 L peqr= lo lg+/* P (4 7dt dB O PO . . . (1) A-weighted time-averaged emission sound pressure levels are denoted by LpAeqT, which is usually abbrevi- ated to LpA- LpAeqT shall be measured with an instru- ment which complies with the requirements of IEC 804. NOTES 5 In general, the subscripts eq and T are omitted since time-averaged emission sound pressure levels are necess- arily determined over a certain measurement time interval. 6 Equation (I) is identical to that for the familiar IS0 en- vironmental noise descriptor “equivalent continuous sound pressure level” defined in IS0 1996-I. However, the emis- sion quantity defined above is used to characterize the noise emitted by a machine under test and assumes that stan- dardized measurement and operating conditions as well as a controlled acoustical environment are used for the measurements. 3.3.2 peak emission sound pressure level, L], peak: I Highest instantaneous value of the emission sound pressure level determined over an operational cycle.

Each operational period is associated with a specific process that may occur only once, or may be repeated, during the op- erational cycle (e.g. for a dishwasher when washing and rinsing and drying). 3.11 measurement time interval: Portion or a multiple of an operational period or operational cycle for which the emission sound pressure level is deter- mined or over which the maximum emission sound pressure level is searched for. 3.12 time history: Continuous recording of the emission sound pressure level, as a function of time, which is obtained during one or more operational periods of an operational cycle. 3.13 other background noise: The noise from all sources than the machine under test. NOTE 9 Background noise may include contributions from airborne sound, structure-borne vibration, and elec- trical noise in instrumentation. 3.14 background noise level: The sound pressure level measured when the machine under test is not operating. It is expressed in decibels. 3.15 background noise correction, K,: A correction term to account for the influence of background noise on the emission sound pressure level at the specified positions of the machine under test. K, is frequency dependent and is expressed in decibels. The cor- rection in the case of A-weighting, &, is to be de- termined from A-weighted measured values. 3.16 environmental indicator, K2: A term to ac- count for the influence of reflected or absorbed sound on the surface sound pressure level. K2 is frequency dependent and is expressed in decibels. In the case of A-weighting, it is denoted &A (see the IS0 3740 series). 4 Measurement uncertainty A single value of an emission sound pressure level of a noise source determined in accordance with the method specified in this International Standard is likely to differ from the true value at a fixed position by an amount within the range of the measurement uncer- tainty. The uncertainty in measurements of emission sound pressure levels arises from several factors which affect the results, some associated with en- vironmental conditions in the measurement room and others with experimental techniques. The measurement uncertainty depends on the stan- dard deviation of reproducibility and on the degree of confidence that is desired. Extensive measurement data are necessary in order to establish standard de- viations of reproducibility of emission sound pressure levels at individual positions and, in any case, these standard deviations are likely to vary considerably be- tween the many different types of machinery and equipment to which this International Standard is ap- plicable. It is therefore not possible to provide infor- mation which is universally applicable, and reference can only be made to noise test codes for relevant data on individual types of noise source. The engineering method described in this lnter- national Standard yields a higher degree of accuracy than the survey method described in IS0 11202 be- cause the measurements are carried out under controlled environmental conditions. For this engineering method, a value of the standard deviation of reproducibility equal to or less than 2,5 dB (excluding variations in operating and mounting conditions) is expected for the A-weighted emission sound pressure level of a source which emits noise with a relatively “flat” spectrum in the frequency range 100 Hz to 10 000 Hz. The given value for the standard deviation of reproducibility is a maximum value but, for a well- defined family of machines, it may be smaller. For example, for one family of woodworking machines, it has been shown that the standard deviation of reproducibility is equal to I,0 dB. NOTE 10 If the machine under test is highly directional or its spectrum has tonal components, the measurement uncertainty may be larger. The risk of this being the case can be reduced by keeping the environmental indicator (see 6.2) less than 0,5 dB. 5 Instrumentation The instrumentation system, including the micro- phone and cable, shall meet the requirements for a 4 kSIST FprEN ISO 11201:2009

For measurements in octave or one-third-octave bands, the filters shall meet the requirements of IEC 1260. Before and after each series of measurements, a sound calibrator with an accuracy of + 0,3 dB (class 1 as specified in IEC 942) shall be applied to the microphone to verify the calibration of the entire measuring system at one or more frequencies over the frequency range of interest. The compliance of the calibrator with the require- ments of IEC 942 shall be verified once a year. The compliance of the instrumentation system with the requirements of IEC 651 (or, in the case of integrating-averaging systems, with the requirements of IEC 804) shall be verified at least every 2 years. The date of the last verification of the compliance with the relevant IEC standards shall be recorded. 6 Test environment 6.1 Specified positions in free space in the vicinity of the machine under test Test environments that are suitable for measure- ments in accordance with this International Standard are a flat outdoor area or an indoor space that pro- vides an essentially free field over a reflecting plane. A laboratory hemi-anechoic room (see IS0 3745) or a flat outdoor area paved with sealed asphalt or con- crete that meets the requirements given in 6.4 and 6.5 will be satisfactory for the purposes of measure- ments given in this International Standard. Other test environments meeting the requirements given in 6.2, 6.4 and 6.5 rnay also be used. No environmental cor- rections are permitted. 6.2 Criterion for the adequacy of the test environment Ideally, the test environment should be free of re- flecting objects other than a reflecting plane so that the machine under test radiates into a free field over a reflecting plane. Annex A of IS0 3744:1994 de- scribes procedures for determining the magnitude of the environmental indicator, K2, to account for the deviations of the test environment from the ideal condition. For this International Standard, the en- vironmental indicator, &A, for a measurement surface enveloping the measurement positions, shall not ex- ceed 2 dB. NOTE 11 If it is necessary to make measurements in spaces in which K2* exceeds 2 dB, then IS0 11202 or IS0 11204 may be applicable. 6.3 Enclosed work station positions When the operator is located in an enclosed cab or in an enclosure remote from the machine under test, the cab or enclosure is regarded as an integral part of the machine under test and, consequently, sound re- flections inside the cab or enclosure are considered contributions to the emission sound pressure level. No environmental corrections are permitted. During noise emission measurements, doors and windows of the cabin or enclosure shall be open or closed as defined in the noise test code for the ma- chinery or equipment being measured. If the work station or bystander’s position of the ma- chine is located inside a cab or a cabin, an additional “conventional” work station or bystander’s position outside the cab or cabin (e.g. for maintenance) in the vicinity of machine under test shall be specified in the noise test code. 6.4 Criterion for background noise At the microphone position(s), the background noise (including win
