Method of measurement of airborne noise emitted by equipment for use outdoorsU.K.

ScopeU.K.

[F1This Annex] [F1This Schedule] lays down the methods of measurement of airborne noise that shall be used for the determination of the sound power levels of equipment covered by [F2this Directive] [F2these Regulations] with a view to the conformity assessment procedures of [F2this Directive] [F2these Regulations].

Part A of [F1this Annex] [F1this Schedule] for each type of equipment referred to in [F3Article 2(1)] [F3regulation 3 (application)] lays down:

  • — basic noise emission standards

  • — general supplements to these basic noise emission standards

for measuring the sound pressure level on a measurement surface enveloping the source and for calculating the sound power level produced by the source.

Part B of [F1this Annex] [F1this Schedule] for each type of equipment referred to in [F3Article 2(1)] [F3regulation 3 (application)] lays down:

  • — a recommended basic noise emission standard including:

    • — a reference to the basic noise emission standard chosen from Part A

    • — the test area

    • — the value of the constant K2A

    • — the shape of the measurement surface

    • — the number and position of microphones to be used

  • — operating conditions including:

    • — the reference to a standard, if any

    • — requirements relating to mounting of the equipment

    • — a method to calculate the resulting sound power levels in the event that several tests with different operating conditions are to be used

  • — further information.

When testing specific types of equipment, the manufacturer or his authorised representative [F4in the [F5European Union]] may in general choose one of the basic noise emission standards of Part A and apply the operating conditions of Part B for this specific type of equipment. In the event of a dispute, however, the recommended basic noise emission standard laid down in Part B has to be used together with the operating conditions of Part B.
