Appendix 1 – Noise Level Tests
Sound levels: The sound and noise level tests were conducted under the European Norm Number 31201,
Noise Emitted by Machinery & Equipment Standards for Emission of Both Peak & Continuous Sound
Levels at a Work Station.
The tests were conducted for both continuous and peak noise levels. The following data are a result of
the tests:
Continuous sound power level:
“A” Weighted scale
1000 Hertz Frequency Range
Continuous Sound Levels recorded at 76.6 dB
The standard indicates that the eight (8) hours exposure level shall not exceed 85dB without hearing
protection.
Peak instantaneous sound pressure value:
“C” Weighted scale
1000 Hertz Frequency Range
Peak instantaneous Sound Pressure Values recorded at 97.7 dB
The standard indicates that the Peak Instantaneous Sound Pressure Level Shall not exceed 130dB on
the “C” weighted scale without hearing protection.
The sound tests were conducted as specified in the standard, from a height of 1.6 meters from the floor
and 1/2 meter from the machine. This test location simulated the distance an operator would be standing
in relation to the machine and at the hearing height of an average person.
