Acoustics - Noise from shooting ranges - Part 1: Determination of muzzle blast by measurement (ISO 17201-1:2018)
This document specifies a method to determine the acoustic source energy of the muzzle blast for
calibres of less than 20 mm or explosive charges of less than 50 g TNT equivalent. It is applicable at
distances where peak pressures less than 1 kPa (equivalent to a peak sound pressure level of 154 dB)
are observed. The source energy, directivity of the source and their spectral structure determined by
this procedure can be used as input data to sound propagation programmes, enabling the prediction of
shooting noise in the neighbourhood of shooting ranges. Additionally, the data can be used to compare
sound emission from different types of guns or different types of ammunition used with the same gun.
This document is applicable to guns used in civil shooting ranges but it can also be applied to military
guns. It is not applicable to the assessment of hearing damage or sound levels in the non-linear region.
Suppressors and silencers are not taken into consideration in this document.
Akustik - Geräusche von Schießplätzen - Teil 1: Bestimmung des Mündungsknalls durch Messung (ISO 17201-1:2018)
Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung der akustischen Schallenergie des Mündungsknalls für Kaliber kleiner als 20 mm und Treibladungen von weniger als 50 g TNT Äquivalent fest. Das Verfahren ist in Entfernungen anwendbar, in denen Spitzenwerte der Schalldrücke von weniger als 1 kPa (äquivalent zu einem Spitzenschalldruckpegel von 154 dB) beobachtet werden. Die nach diesem Verfahren ermittelte Schallenergie, die Richtwirkung der Quelle und deren spektrale Zusammensetzung können als Eingangsdaten für Schall¬ausbreitungsprogramme verwendet werden, mit denen die Prognose von Schießgeräuschen in der Nachbarschaft von Schießplätzen ermöglicht wird. Zusätzlich können die Daten zum Vergleich der Schallemission verschiedener Arten von Schusswaffen oder verschiedener Arten von Munition mit derselben Waffe verwendet werden.
Dieses Dokument ist anwendbar für Schusswaffen ziviler Schießplätze und kann auch auf militärische Schusswaffen angewendet werden. Es ist nicht anwendbar zur Beurteilung von Gehörschädigungen oder Schall¬pegeln innerhalb des nichtlinearen Bereichs.
Suppressoren und Schalldämpfer werden in diesem Dokument nicht berücksichtigt.
Acoustique - Bruit des stands de tir - Partie 1: Mesurage de l´énergie sonore en sortie de bouche (ISO 17201-1:2018)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode permettant de déterminer l'énergie acoustique émise en sortie de bouche pour des armes de calibres inférieurs à 20 mm ou des charges explosives de moins de 50 g d'équivalent TNT. Elle est applicable à des distances où les valeurs de crête de pression acoustique observées sont inférieures à 1 kPa (équivalent à un niveau de pression acoustique de crête de 154 dB). L'énergie sonore émise, la directivité de la source et leur structure spectrale, déterminées par ce mode opératoire, peuvent être utilisées en tant que données d'entrée pour les modes de propagation du son permettant la prédiction du bruit généré par les tirs au voisinage des stands de tir. En outre, les données peuvent servir à comparer le bruit émis par différents types d'armes ou différents types de munitions utilisées par la même arme.
Le présent document concerne les armes utilisées dans les stands de tir, mais elle peut également s'appliquer aux armes à usage militaire. Elle n'est pas applicable pour les besoins d'une évaluation des dommages auditifs ou des niveaux sonores dans la zone non linéaire.
Les suppresseurs et silencieux ne sont pas pris en considération dans le présent document.
Akustika - Hrup s strelišč - 1. del: Določanje poka potisnih plinov iz ustja strelnih orožij z merjenjem (ISO 17201-1:2018)
Ta dokument določa metodo za določanje energije akustičnega vira poka potisnih plinov iz ustja strelnih orožij za kalibre, manjše od 20 mm, ali eksplozivne naboje, enakovredne manj kot 50 g TNT. Uporablja se pri razdaljah, pri katerih so vršni tlaki manjši od 1 kPa (enako vršni ravni zvočnega tlaka 154 dB). Energijo vira, usmerjenost vira in njegovo spektralno strukturo, določeno s tem postopkom, je mogoče uporabiti kot vhodne podatke za programe širjenja zvoka, kar omogoča napoved hrupa streljanja v bližini strelišč. Poleg tega je mogoče podatke uporabiti za primerjavo zvočnih emisij različnih vrst strelnega orožja ali različnih vrst streliva, uporabljenega pri istem strelnem orožju.
Ta dokument se uporablja za strelno orožje, ki se uporablja na civilnih streliščih, vendar ga je mogoče uporabiti tudi za vojaško
strelno orožje. Ne uporablja se za ocenjevanje poškodb sluha ali ravni zvoka v nelinearnem območju.

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.

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).

ISO 17201-1:2018(E)
Introduction
The initiative to prepare a standard on impulse noise from shooting ranges was taken by AFEMS, the
Association of European Manufacturers of Sporting Ammunition, in April 1996 by the submission of
a formal proposal to CEN. After consultation in CEN in 1998, CEN/TC 211, Acoustics asked ISO/TC 43/
SC 1, Noise to prepare the ISO 17201 series.
To obtain reliable data for the prediction of shooting sound levels at a reception point, the energy of
sound emission produced by the muzzle blast is needed. The muzzle blast is produced by the propellant
gas expelled from the barrel of a weapon; in most cases the gas has a supersonic fluid speed. Close to the
muzzle, the sound pressure is very high and cannot be described with linear acoustics. For the purpose
of this document, the non-linear region is defined by the observation of a peak sound pressure level
of 154 dB or more. This document defines how the sound source energy and directivity of the muzzle
blast can be obtained from the measurement of sound exposure levels and how these measurements
are to be carried out. The source energy, its directivity and spectral structure can be used as input for
sound propagation models for environmental noise assessment. This cannot be used for calculations of
sound exposure levels close to the weapon, for instance to estimate injury to people or animals.

Acoustics — Noise from shooting ranges —
Part 1:
Determination of muzzle blast by measurement
1 Scope
This document specifies a method to determine the acoustic source energy of the muzzle blast for
calibres of less than 20 mm or explosive charges of less than 50 g TNT equivalent. It is applicable at
distances where peak pressures less than 1 kPa (equivalent to a peak sound pressure level of 154 dB)
are observed. The source energy, directivity of the source and their spectral structure determined by
this procedure can be used as input data to sound propagation programmes, enabling the prediction of
shooting noise in the neighbourhood of shooting ranges. Additionally, the data can be used to compare
sound emission from different types of guns or different types of ammunition used with the same gun.
This document is applicable to guns used in civil shooting ranges but it can also be applied to military
guns. It is not applicable to the assessment of hearing damage or sound levels in the non-linear region.
Suppressors and silencers are not taken into consideration in this document.
