Several basic International Standards dealing with the noise emitted by machinery and equipment exist. In order to prepare a noise test code for a specific family of machinery or equipment, it is necessary to select the most appropriate basic documents and to establish additional require- ments for that family (e.g. installation and mounting conditions, operating recorded and reported, etc.). A noise test code is a standard for a specific family, sub-family or type of machinery or equipment. Such a code gives all the information necessary to carry out as efficiently as possible the determination, declaration and verification of the noise emission characteristics of the machine under test. This international Standard specifies what information is necessary for the preparation of noise test codes. i license with Not for Resale
