BS EN ISO 11200:1996 is a standard that falls within the field of acoustics and noise control. It specifically provides guidelines for the use of basic standards for determining the emission sound pressure levels of machinery and equipment at workstations and other specified positions.
Here are some key points regarding BS EN ISO 11200:1996:
The standard offers guidance on the application of basic standards for the measurement and assessment of noise emitted by machinery and equipment. It focuses on the determination of emission sound pressure levels at specific locations, including workstations and other designated positions.
Acoustics and Noise Control: Acoustics is the scientific study of sound, and in industrial settings, noise control is crucial for maintaining a safe and comfortable working environment. This standard is part of a series of ISO standards related to noise control and measurement.
Emission Sound Pressure Levels: Emission sound pressure levels refer to the sound pressure levels produced by machinery and equipment during their operation. These levels can have an impact on the noise environment within a workplace and can affect the health and well-being of workers.
Measurement Procedures: BS EN ISO 11200:1996 does not define specific measurement procedures but provides guidance on how to use basic standards that do specify measurement methods. These basic standards may include ISO 11201, ISO 11202, and others related to noise emission measurement.
Workstation Assessment: Assessing noise emission at workstations is important for ensuring that workers are not exposed to excessive noise levels that could lead to hearing damage or other health issues.
Compliance and Mitigation: Industries and manufacturers may use this standard to assess compliance with noise regulations and to develop strategies for noise mitigation, such as the use of quieter machinery, barriers, or personal protective equipment.
