NF EN ISO 11205
Acoustics - Noise emitted by machinery and equipment - Engineering method for the determination of emission sound pressure levels in situ at the work station and at other specified positions using sound intensity
ISO 11205:2003 specifies an engineering method (grade 2 accuracy) to determine the emission sound pressure level of machines in situ, at the work station or at other specified positions, using sound intensity. It is an alternative to ISO 11201, ISO 11202 and ISO 11204 for in situ measurements. It is applicable to all kinds of test environments provided that the requirements on background noise and field indicators are fulfilled. ISO 11205:2003 is applicable to equipment emitting stationary broadband noise. The noise can differ between operational cycles and can be with or without discrete frequency or narrow band components.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.
The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

- With a single click, add a new language, the Requirements or Redline+ service and add one or more additional users.
- Whether you are in the process of acquiring a standard or it is already available in your personal space, the UPSELL service is available at every stage to help you understand it and implement it within your organization.
