BS EN ISO 11204:2010

Comprehensive Noise Measurement Standard for Compliance and Safety

BS EN ISO 11204:2010 is the definitive standard for accurately measuring noise levels in a wide range of industrial, commercial, and environmental settings. Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), this standard provides detailed guidelines and technical specifications to ensure consistent, reliable noise assessments that support regulatory compliance and worker safety initiatives.

Precise Noise Measurement Techniques

At the core of BS EN ISO 11204:2010 are the methods and procedures for accurately measuring sound pressure levels. The standard covers:• Selection and use of measurement instrumentation, including microphones, sound level meters, and acoustic calibrators• Measurement positions and distances relative to the noise source• Corrections for background noise, reflections, and other environmental factors• Calculation of A-weighted and C-weighted sound pressure levelsBy standardizing these technical aspects of the noise measurement process, BS EN ISO 11204:2010 helps organizations generate data that is scientifically valid and legally defensible.

Compliance Benefits for Diverse Applications

This British Standard is an essential resource for a wide range of industries and applications where noise is a concern, including:• Manufacturing and industrial facilities• Construction sites and demolition projects• Transportation hubs and infrastructure• Commercial and retail establishments• Outdoor recreational areasCompliance with BS EN ISO 11204:2010 supports several key objectives:• Worker health and safety by identifying high-noise areas and informing hearing conservation programs• Environmental noise control and mitigation strategies to meet local regulations• Product development and quality control for equipment and machinery• Acoustic testing and certification for compliance with noise emission limits
