ISO 1680:2013 specifies all the information necessary to carry out efficiently and under standardized conditions the determination, declaration, and verification of the noise emission characteristics of rotating electrical machines. It specifies noise measurement methods that can be used, and specifies the operating and mounting conditions required for the test.
Noise emission characteristics include the sound power level and emission sound pressure level. The determination of these quantities is necessary:
— for comparing the noise emitted by machines;
— to enable manufacturers to declare the noise emitted; and
— for the purposes of noise control.
