Noise test information
Machine
Forst PT6
Notes
Tested chipping 50 x 50mm sawn pine 4.2m in length.
Noise levels above 85dB (A) will be experienced at the working position and within a
4 metre radius. Operators and personnel within a 4 metre radius must wear
appropriate ear protection at all times while machine is in operation to prevent the
risk of hearing damage.
A-weighted emission sound pressure (beside operator’s ear) LpA = 111.7dB(A).
Peak C-weighted instantaneous sound pressure (beside operator’s ear) LCpeak =
136.7dB(C). Results at 10 metre radius are calculated.
Guaranteed sound power: 122dB(A)
As required by Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC “Noise Emission in the environment
by equipment for use outdoors.”
