Introduction
0.1 For many users of machinery and equipment, the control of noise is a major issue which requires
effective exchange of acoustical information among the several parties concerned. These include the
manufacturer, installer and user of the machinery or equipment. This acoustical information is obtained
from measurements. The main flow of information goes from the manufacturer to the user.
These measurements are useful only if the conditions under which they are carried out are specified,
if they yield defined acoustical quantities, and if they are carried out using standardized instruments.
Two quantities which complement one another can be used to describe the sound emission of machinery
or equipment: the sound power level and the emission sound pressure level at a specified position. The
International Standards which describe the basic methods of determining the sound power level are
ISO 3740,[2] ISO 3741, ISO 3743 (all parts), ISO 3744, ISO 3745, ISO 3746 and ISO 3747 (determination from
sound pressure level measurements), and ISO 9614-1, ISO 9614-2 and ISO 9614-3 (determination from
sound intensity measurements). This International Standard introduces a group of five International
Standards describing various methods for determining emission sound pressure levels of machinery
and equipment taking into account possible situations for the source under test (mobile machine, fixed
machine, various test rooms, various instrumentations, different kinds of work stations, etc.).
It is not the intention of this group of International Standards to describe procedures for measuring the
occupational noise exposure of workers; for occupational noise exposure, see ISO 9612.[4]
0.2 Emission sound pressure levels in conjunction with sound power levels are used for declaration
of the noise emitted under the defined conditions, verification of declared values, comparison of the
noise emitted by machinery of various types and sizes, comparison with limits specified in a purchasing
contract or a regulation, engineering work to reduce the noise emission of machinery, and prediction of
noise exposure at the specified positions.
Included in this group of International Standards are three, which describe procedures for measuring
emission sound pressure levels directly, in different test environments (ISO 11201, ISO 11202 and
ISO 11204), a fourth (ISO 11203), which gives procedures for determining emission sound pressure
levels from the sound power level and a fifth (ISO 11205), which gives a procedure for determining the
emission sound pressure level from measured values of the sound intensity level.
0.3 In general, these sound pressure levels are different from those which occur if the machinery or
equipment operates in its installed surroundings, where the environment influences the sound pressure
level at work stations or other specified positions. The selection of standards for the determination of
the sound power level can, for practical reasons, have consequences on the selection of standards for
the determination of the emission sound pressure level. It is preferable to make the choice of standards
concurrently with respect to the two noise emission quantities.
0.4 Standards in the ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 group are often used
in practice through their reference in standardized noise test codes (see 3.25). If a particular noise test
code exists for a family of machinery, it is intended that it be used. For drafting a noise test code, it is
recommended to be familiar with ISO 12001.[6]
0.5 The reasons for revising the ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 group were
manifold:
— the need arose to introduce a grade 1 method into the group in order to enhance the similarity with
the ISO 3741, ISO 3743 (all parts), ISO 3744, ISO 3745, ISO 3746 and ISO 3747 group of International
Standards on the determination of sound power level;
— feedback from experience with the use of the group showed that the ISO 11202 method gave more
precise results than initially thought, hence the introduction into ISO 11202 of the possibility to get
grade 2 results;
— as source directivity plays a key role with regard to the emission sound pressure level, pragmatism
led to introduce this parameter into the ISO 11202 and ISO 11204 methods;

BS EN ISO 11200:2014
ISO 11200:2014(E)

— as measurement uncertainty was becoming a more and more central issue, the need arose to address
the issue again in the light of the experience gained with the use of ISO/IEC GUIDE 98‑3.
No research was carried out in order to revise the ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and
ISO 11205 group. Only existing knowledge was used.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 11200:2014(E)
Acoustics — Noise emitted by machinery and equipment

— Guidelines for the use of basic standards for the
determination of emission sound pressure levels at a work
station and at other specified positions
1 Scope
This International Standard is the frame standard introducing the basic group, ISO 11201, ISO 11202,
ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205, on the determination of emission sound pressure levels at work
stations and other specified positions. It gives guidance for:
— facilitating the writing of noise test codes;
— providing physical explanations of this noise emission quantity compared to other noise
quantities (see 4.1 to 4.3);
— comparing the different measurement methods offered by the group (see Table 1);
— facilitating the choice of the most appropriate method(s) in typical practical situations (Clause 6).
This International Standard is largely based on flow charts and tables. Case studies are described.
The guidance given applies to airborne sound only. It is for use in noise testing, in general, and in the
preparation of noise test codes, in particular.
A standardized noise test code is intended to select standards from the ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203,
ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 group, which are the most appropriate to the machinery family it covers, and
which give detailed requirements on mounting and operating conditions for the particular family, as well
as the location of the work station(s) and other specified positions as prescribed in these International
Standards.
The data so obtained can be used for the declaration and verification of emission sound pressure levels,
e.g. as specified in ISO 4871.[3]

4 Emission sound pressure level at work stations and other specified positions
4.1 Physical background

A microphone positioned at the work station or the specified position does not measure the emission
sound pressure level only. It really measures the sound received directly from the machine (emission)
combined with the sound coming from other noise sources present and the sound reflected by walls,
floor, ceiling and obstacles in the room in which the machine is located.
The “emission” component shall be extracted from this total. Extraction is particularly difficult
when the sound pressure level at the work station (or any other specified position) includes a strong

BS EN ISO 11200:2014
ISO 11200:2014(E)

environmental component. This happens when the machine operates in a reverberant space and does
not radiate its sound energy towards the work station. This extreme situation illustrates the important
role that the directivity of the source plays in relation to the nature of the test environment (see 4.5) and
explains why the determination of emission sound pressure levels is not straightforward and requires
measurement methods that are more complex than expected.
At any given position in relation to a particular machine, and for given mounting and operating
conditions, the emission sound pressure levels determined using any of the methods given in ISO 11201,
ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 will in general be lower than the directly measured sound
pressure levels for the same machine operating in its installed environment. This is due to the influence
of the environment (reverberation) and the contributions of noise from other machines. A method of
calculating the sound pressure levels in the vicinity of a machine operating alone in a workroom is
given in ISO/TR 11690-3.[5] Commonly observed differences are 1 dB to 5 dB, but in extreme cases the
difference can be even larger.
The influence of this environment at the work station position or any other specified position is
described by a local environmental correction K3. Methods for determining K3 are provided in ISO 11202
and ISO 11204. ISO 11201 does not consider K3 because this standard covers the situation where the
influence of the environment is negligible (K3 = 0).
4.2 Difference between noise exposure level of persons and noise emission level
Noise exposure and noise emission are two very different concepts that have to be clearly distinguished.
Noise exposure levels are different from noise emission levels. Noise exposure relates to a person in the
actual environment. Noise emission relates to a source of sound independently of the environment in
which it operates.
It is not the intent of the group of International Standards (i.e. ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203,
ISO 11204 and ISO 11205) to describe procedures for measuring the occupational noise exposure of
workers. Emission sound pressure levels are not averages over a total working day during which the
machinery might perform different functions, operate at different control settings, or undergo changes
of workload. A method for determining the noise exposure of persons is given in ISO 9612.[4]
4.3 Difference between sound power level of machinery and sound pressure level
The sound power level characterizes the acoustic energy radiated in the air by a source for a given
mounting and operating condition. It is an intrinsic feature of the source independent of the environment
in which it operates.
As opposed to the sound power level, the sound pressure level characterizes the noise present at a
particular point in space.
Just as for the sound power level, the emission sound pressure level at a work station or a specified
position is an intrinsic characteristic of the machine.
4.4 Reasons for determining the emission sound pressure level

Examples of situations where the emission sound pressure level at the work station(s) of a source might
be of interest are:
— manufacturer noise emission declaration according to regulations for machinery safety;
— customer need for input to sound exposure prediction models;
— customer need for data for comparing with competing machinery and equipment on the market (e.g.
operator attended heavy machinery) to use “less noise emitted” as a purchasing parameter;
NOTE For some families of machines, e.g. information technology equipment, the preferred quantity on
which to compare equipment on the market is the sound power level.

BS EN ISO 11200:2014
ISO 11200:2014(E)

— requirements in a specification to check the noise level of equipment regardless of the environment
in which it operates.
4.5 How the source directivity is handled in the ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203,
ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 group
ISO 11202 and ISO 11204 consider the directivity of the source.
ISO 11202 (method A.2) and ISO 11204 consider the directivity of the source by measuring the
A-weighted sound pressure level at a set of microphone positions situated around the machine at a
fixed distance from it in order to determine the directivity index. These levels describe the apparent
work station directivity as they are contaminated by the sound energy coming from reflections within
the environment where the machine operates. In ISO 11202 (method A.2), for the sake of simplicity,
measurements are carried out on a path around the machine at a fixed distance above the ground to
approximate the apparent directivity. In ISO 11204, measurements are carried out on a closed surface
surrounding the machine. This requires more microphone positions, and greater measurement effort,
but provides a more accurate directivity assessment.
The distance from these extra microphone positions to the machine for the determination of the
directivity index is normally 1 m whatever the distance from the work station to the machine may
be. The quantities specified in Annex A of ISO 11202:2010 and ISO 11204 necessary to calculate the
local environmental correction, K3, refer to the surface on which these extra measurement positions are
located.

group for determining the emission sound pressure level at work stations and other specified positions
ISO 11201 provides two measurement methods: a precision method (grade 1) and an engineering method
(grade 2). Both are applicable in an essentially free field over a reflecting plane. No environmental
corrections are applied.
ISO 11202 provides two measurement methods:
— A.1: for small sources or equipment which has a dominant source localizable;
— A.2: for other sources.
Each method provides grade 2 or grade 3 results. Approximate environmental corrections are applied.
NOTE 1 Method A.1 is based on the method given in the previous edition of ISO 11202.
ISO 11203 provides two alternative methods for determining emission sound pressure levels from the
sound power level, leading to either grade 2 or grade 3 results.
ISO 11204 provides a measurement method that can lead to either grade 2 or grade 3 results. Accurate
environmental corrections are applied.
ISO 11205 provides an engineering measurement method (grade 2) for determining the emission sound
pressure level in situ from sound intensity measurements.
NOTE 2 For grades of accuracy, see ISO 12001.[6]
Table 1 gives an overview of the group of International Standards for determining emission sound

6 Selection of the most appropriate method from the group
6.1 Quantities to be measured and determined

ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 are methods to determine emission sound
pressure levels from measurements of sound pressure levels or by calculation from sound power level
values. The emission levels may be time-averaged, peak, frequency-weighted, depending on the method
and the purpose of this determination. Frequency weighting is usually A-weighting, except in the case of
peak levels, where C-weighting is preferred.
6.2 Considerations affecting choice of method

Factors to be considered when selecting an International Standard from the ISO 11201, ISO 11202,
ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 group include:
a) existence of an applicable noise test code or procedure making reference to standard(s) in the
ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 group ;
b) the repeatability and reproducibility of sound pressure level measurements. Benefits of using a
precise method are lost if repeatability is poor (see Figure 2);
c) the size and transportability of the machinery or equipment, affecting the practicability of setting
it up in an acoustics test laboratory for the purpose of the noise measurements. Typically, hand-held
tools are small enough to be transportable to an acoustics test laboratory;
d) whether or not particular work stations can be identified in relation to the machine. Typically, an air
compressor used on construction sites has no work station;
e) the test environment available for the measurement (see Table 2). At the time of publication of this
International Standard, noise emission from machinery for use outdoors is measured outdoors;
f) the grade of accuracy required. The generally recommended grade of accuracy for industrial
applications is grade 2 “Engineering”;
g) the instrumentation available (see Table 3). The use of a class 1 instrument is recommended.
Class 2 instruments provide only a rough estimation and grade 3 results with a large associated
uncertainty;
h) the background noise level which cannot be avoided (see Table 4). When measuring indoors it might
not be possible to switch off all ventilation devices or ancillary equipment, which might affect the
sound pressure level measurements;
i) the way to determine the local environmental correction, K3, and the grade of accuracy (see Table 5);
j) the instability of noise emission (see Table 6).

measurement is taken, S is a typical surface easy to determine if the location of the major sound source of the machine under
test is easily identifiable. Regarding ISO 11204, S M is the area of the reference measurement surface surrounding the source
under test on which the surface sound pressure level is determined.

6.3 Considerations for the selection of the most appropriate method

Attention is drawn to the following considerations that might help with the choice of the most appropriate
method to be used.
a) Facts relating to the grade of accuracy:
— the preferred grade of accuracy for purposes of noise declaration is grade 2 (engineering
methods). Whatever the room, if the work station is close to the dominating sound source and
background noise is low, ISO 11202 or ISO 11204 almost always provides a grade 2 result;
— among the measurement methods, only those provided in ISO 11202 allow the use of class 2
instruments, resulting in grade 3 measurements even though grade 2 requirements are
otherwise fulfilled;
— when using ISO 11202 or ISO 11204, the grade of accuracy of the result is not a priori defined
but is known once the measurements are performed;
— when using ISO 11202 or ISO 11204, the grade of accuracy and, consequently the uncertainty
associated to the value of the emission sound pressure level might not be the same for all work
stations or other specified positions on a machine.
b) Facts relating to the measurement effort:
— ISO 11201 (outdoors) and ISO 11202, method A.1 only require a single measurement at the work
station;
— the measurement effort when using ISO 11204 is equivalent to that required by the measurement
of the sound power level. Consequently, if the sound power level is to be determined or is known,
the additional measurement effort when using ISO 11204 is minimal;
— for outdoor measurements, grade 2 results (even grade 1 results) are facilitated;
— for measurements carried out according to ISO 11202, method A.2, or ISO 11204, it is always
necessary to carry out at least five measurements around the machine (in order to assess the
directivity of the source).
c) Facts relating to method applicability:
— method A.1 of ISO 11202 only applies to machines having a dominant sound-radiating area
that is small compared to its distance from the measurement point. This is the case for small-
sized machines and machines with a clearly identifiable localized major sound source of small
volume;
— if emission sound pressure levels are to be determined at points on a path around the machine,
ISO 11202 might be the most appropriate method (unless ISO 11203 is applicable).
6.4 Synopses
6.4.1 Procedure for selection
ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 are applicable to all kinds of machinery and
equipment. The choice of method is governed by technical and practical limitations which are given
below (in this subclause and in 6.4.2). A guide to the choice between the different methods is illustrated
by the flow charts of Figures 1, 2 and 3. Unless ISO 11203 can be used (see Figure 1), study first the
repeatability (see Figure 2) and then go to the “START” box in Figure 3.

7 Selection of specified positions

The ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 group deals with the following situations:
seated, standing, stationary operator, operator moving along a specified path. The group also applies to
enclosed work station positions, bystanders and unattended machines (see Clause 10 of ISO 11201:2010,
ISO 11202:2010 and ISO 11204:2010, 1.4 of ISO 11203:1995 or 3.7 of ISO 11205:2003) with the following
restriction: ISO 11203 is not applicable to workstations or other specified positions situated in a cab or
a cabin, or behind a screen.
8 Treatment of measurement uncertainty in ISO 11201, 11202 and 11204

Measurement uncertainty is dealt with in a much more detailed manner in ISO 11201, ISO 11202 and
ISO 11204 as compared with their previous editions. The intention was:
— to take ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 into consideration;

BS EN ISO 11200:2014
ISO 11200:2014(E)

— to distinguish between two main components of measurement uncertainty, i.e. the uncertainty
associated with the method (expressed in term of the standard deviation of reproducibility σR0) and
the uncertainty due to the possible instability of mounting and operating conditions of the machine
under test (expressed in terms of a standard deviation σomc).
The general approach remained unchanged:
— the use of accuracy grades 1 to 3 is defined on the basis of the uncertainty of the method;
— upper values of the uncertainty of the method, to be used when no data specific to a particular
family of machines is available, are provided.
ISO 11201, ISO 11202 and ISO 11204 contain a clause on uncertainty in their main bodies supplemented
by an annex, which gives guidelines on the development of data on uncertainty. In particular, this annex
lists all identified components of the uncertainty associated with the method (the so-called uncertainty
budget). Wherever possible, it gives quantitative estimations for each component.
A methodology to determine the magnitude of σR0 and σomc is provided. When drafting a noise test
code, appropriate measurements should be carried out so that values of σR0 and σomc specific to the
machinery family concerned can be derived.

Annex A
(informative)
Test site and environmental correction K2 — Some guidance
A.1 ISO 11201
Indoor:
— laboratory hemi-anechoic room (grade 1);
— K2 ≤ 2 dB (grade 2); this requirement is generally met in a machinery room with minimum width
and length at least eight times the largest machine dimension. The ceiling height should be four
times the largest machine dimension. In addition, there should be a clear space around the machine
with a radius of at least twice the largest machine dimension. For small machines, the minimum
room dimension should generally be at least 16 m with a ceiling height greater than 4 m, and there
should be 4 m of clear space around the machine.
Outdoor:
— a plane area outdoors with hard ground and no reflecting objects in the near vicinity (grade 1);
— on a reflecting plane ground at a specified distance from the nearest reflecting object (grade 2). In
general, there should be a clear space around the machine with a radius of at least twice the largest
machine dimension. For small machines, there should be 4 m of clear space around the machine.
A.2 ISO 11202
Indoor:
K2A < 7 dB; this requirement is generally met in a machinery room with width and length of at
least three times the largest machine dimension. The ceiling height should be 1,5 times the largest
machine dimension. In addition, there should be a clear space around the machine with a radius at
least equal to the largest machine dimension. For small machines, the minimum room dimension
should generally be at least 6 m, ceiling height of at least 3 m and there should be 2 m of clear space
around the machine.
Outdoor:
— a plane area outdoors with hard ground and no reflecting objects in the near vicinity;
— on a reflecting plane ground. In general, there should be a clear space around the machine with a
radius at least equal to the largest machine dimension.
A.3 ISO 11204
See ISO 11202.
A.4 ISO 11205

Case studies
B.1 General
This annex gives an example of practical application of each of the methods in the ISO 11201, ISO 11202,
ISO 11203 and ISO 11204 group.
B.2 Example 1
Example 1 Use of ISO 11201 for a small movable machine
Objective: to determine the A-weighted emission sound pressure level of a small movable machine
without work station for the purpose of noise emission declaration. A noise test code exists for the
family to which the machine belongs.
As the machine is small and movable, it can be easily installed outdoors. Therefore, ISO 11201 is the most
favourable method to be used. As the purpose of the determination is noise declaration, the method
specified in ISO 11201, which provides grade 2 results is adequate. This is one of the methods allowed
by the noise test code.
As the machine has no work station, four measurement positions, one on each side of the machine, are
specified by the noise test code (see Figure B.1 and Table B.1).

Example 2 Use of ISO 11202, method A.1, for a machine with a clearly identifiable dominating sound source
Objective: during the process of designing a machine, a manufacturer wishes to determine the A-weighted
emission sound pressure level of a prototype. The machine has a defined work station. No noise test
code exists for the family of machines.
The machine can only operate in the manufacturer assembly workshop. It has a clearly identifiable
dominating sound source. Therefore, the adequate method is that provided by ISO 11202, method A.1.
ISO 11202, method A.2, and ISO 11204 could also have been used, but with a greater measurement effort
(see Figure B.2 and Table B.2).

Objective: to determine the A-weighted emission sound pressure level of a machine that has one work
station and is covered by a noise test code.
The noise test code allows ISO 11202 and ISO 11204 to be used. ISO 11201 is not allowed because the
machine cannot operate outdoors.

The particular machine has no identifiable dominating sound source therefore method A.1 of ISO 11202
cannot be used. The sound power is not known and does not have otherwise to be determined. Therefore,
method A.2 of ISO 11202 is the appropriate method (see Figure B.3 and Table B.3).

Example 4 Use of ISO 11204
Objective: determination for noise declaration purposes of the A-weighted emission sound pressure
level at the work station of a machine for which a noise test code exists and the A-weighted sound power
level has to be determined.
The noise test code allows ISO 11201, ISO 11202 and ISO 11204 to be used. ISO 11204:2010 turns out to
be the appropriate method because
— the machine cannot operate outdoors,
— from the value of LWA , the average sound pressure level on a surface around the machine which
ISO 11204 requires can easily be determined,
— although the grade of accuracy obtained will be known only after the measurements have been
carried out, ISO 11204 has the higher probability to lead to a grade 2 result, and
— the machine has a stable noise emission (see Figure B.4 and Table B.4).

Objective: Determination of the A-weighted emission sound pressure level of a machine without work
station, for which the sound power level has been previously determined.
The machine is powered by an external drive, which is not part of the machine and which is noisier
than the machine itself. In the ISO 11201, ISO 11202, ISO 11203, ISO 11204 and ISO 11205 group,
only ISO 11203 can handle such a situation. The average emission sound pressure level on a surface
enveloping the machine at 1 m from its surface is taken as the A-weighted emission sound pressure level
of the machine (see Figure B.5 and Table B.5).
