Abstract BS EN ISO 11201:1996 is a standard that falls under the category of acoustics and deals specifically with the measurement of noise emitted by machinery and equipment. The full title of the standard is: "Acoustics - Noise emitted by machinery and equipment - Measurement of emission sound pressure levels at a work station and at other specified positions - Engineering method in an essentially free field over a reflecting plane." Let's break down what this standard is about: Acoustics: This standard is related to the science of acoustics, which deals with the study of sound, its generation, transmission, and effects. Noise emitted by machinery and equipment: It focuses on measuring the noise produced by various types of machinery and equipment. This can be important for assessing the environmental impact of such noise and ensuring the safety and comfort of workers. Measurement of emission sound pressure levels: The standard provides guidelines and procedures for measuring the sound pressure levels produced by machinery and equipment during operation. At a work station and at other specified positions: The standard defines methods for measuring noise levels not only at the immediate work station but also at other specific locations where noise assessment is necessary or relevant. Engineering method: It describes an engineering approach to measuring noise levels. This typically involves using specialized equipment and techniques to obtain accurate and consistent measurements. In an essentially free field over a reflecting plane: The measurements described in the standard are conducted in conditions that approximate an open field with a reflecting surface (a plane that reflects sound). This controlled environment helps in obtaining standardized and comparable noise measurements.
