ISO 80000-8:2020(E)
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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
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).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www .iso .org/
iso/ foreword .html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 12, Quantities and units, in collaboration
with IEC/TC 25, Quantities and units.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 80000-8:2007), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the table giving the quantities and units has been simplified;
— some definitions and the remarks have been stated physically more precisely.
A list of all parts in the ISO 80000 and IEC 80000 series can be found on the ISO and IEC websites.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
complete listing of these bodies can be found at www .iso .org/ members .html.

4 Remark on the use of the symbols lb and lg
In accordance with ISO 80000-2, the abbreviations lb and lg are used to indicate logarithms to the base
2 (log ) and base 10 (log ), respectively.

ISO 266 specifies preferred frequencies for
acoustics separated by logarithmic frequency
ranges equal to one tenth of a decade (0,1 dec).
Each 0,1 dec logarithmic frequency range is
referred to in ISO 266 as a "one-third-octave
interval" because 0,1 dec is approximately equal
to 1/3 oct. Similarly, a logarithmic frequency
range of 0,3 dec is referred to as a "one-octave
interval" because 0,3 dec is approximately equal
to 1 oct.
A logarithmic frequency range equal to one tenth
of a decade can be referred to as a decidecade.

NACIONALNI UVOD
Standard SIST EN ISO 80000-8:2020 (sl), Veličine in enote – 8. del: Akustika (ISO 80000-8:2020) ima
status slovenskega standarda in je enakovreden evropskemu standardu EN ISO 80000-8:2020 (en),
Quantities and units – Part 8: Acoustics (ISO 80000-8:2020).
NACIONALNI PREDGOVOR
Evropski standard EN ISO 80000-8:2020 je pripravil tehnični odbor ISO/TC 12 "Veličine in enote" v
sodelovanju s tehničnim odborom CEN/SS F02 "Enote in simboli", katerega sekretariat vodi CCMC.
Slovenski standard SIST EN ISO 80000-8:2020 je prevod evropskega standarda EN ISO 80000-8:2020.
V primeru spora glede besedila slovenskega prevoda v tem standardu je odločilen izvirni evropski
standard v angleškem jeziku. Slovensko izdajo standarda je pripravil tehnični odbor SIST/TC TRS
Tehnično risanje, veličine, enote, simboli in grafični simboli.
Odločitev za izdajo tega standarda je 10. aprila 2020 sprejel SIST/TC TRS Tehnično risanje, veličine,
