By the time the PSEM standard was published, many major sound level meter companies – in both Europe and the USA had a dosimeter in their range. Noise dosimeters are worn by workers in order to track their sound exposure over a period of time. With the accuracy of a type 2 sound level meter, a majority of noise dosimeters measure within ±2 dB A.
A noise dosimeter (American) or noise dosemeter (British) is a specialized sound level meter intended specifically to measure the noise exposure of a person integrated over a period of time; usually to comply with Health and Safety regulations such as the Occupational Safety and Health (OSHA) 29 CFR 1910.95 Occupational Noise Exposure Standard ...
International standards organizations (ISO, [2] ANSI [3] and ASA) recognize the need to objectify judgements on the amount of ambient noise in enclosed spaces, and provide us with definitions for various noise curves. [4] The ANSI/ASA S12.2-2008 standard, for example, recommends an NC value of 25-35 for schools and 15-18 for concert halls. [5]
The ANSI code standard extended the previously created ASCII seven bit code standard (ASA X3.4-1963), with additional codes for European alphabets (see also Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code or EBCDIC). In Microsoft Windows, the phrase "ANSI" refers to the Windows ANSI code pages (even though they are not ANSI standards). [16]
ANSI/ASA S1.1-2013, published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), is the current American National Standard on Acoustical Terminology. [1] ANSI S1.1 was first published in 1960 and has its roots in a 1942 standard published by the American Standards Association , the predecessor of ANSI. [ 2 ]
Noise may be measured using a sound level meter at the source of the noise. [23] [24] [25] Alternatively, an organization or company may measure a person's exposure to environmental noise in a workplace via a noise dosimeter. [26] The measurements taken using either of these methods will be evaluated according to the standards below.
Analysis of sound and acoustics plays a role in such engineering tasks as product design, production test, machine performance, and process control. For instance, product design can require modification of sound level or noise for compliance with standards from ANSI, IEC, and ISO. The work might also involve design fine-tuning to meet market ...
