ANSI S12.19 Measurement of Noise from Industrial Equipment Laboratory Testing Service: A Comprehensive Guide

Standard-Related Information

The measurement of noise from industrial equipment is a critical aspect of ensuring workplace safety and compliance with regulatory requirements. The ANSI S12.19 standard, published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), provides guidelines for laboratory testing to measure the noise levels emitted by various types of industrial equipment.

Legal and Regulatory Framework

In many countries, there are laws and regulations that require manufacturers to test their products for noise emissions before placing them on the market. For example, in the European Union, the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) requires machinery manufacturers to assess the risks associated with noise emissions during operation.

International and National Standards

The following standards apply to ANSI S12.19 testing:

  • ISO 9612:2018 Acoustics - Noise Measurement on Individual Machines

  • ASTM E2584-17 Standard Test Method for Determining the Noise Emissions of Stationary and Portable Equipment

  • EN ISO 3746:2010 Acoustics - Determination of Sound Power Levels of Noise Sources Using Sound Pressure

    • Standard Development Organizations

    ANSI is a member-driven organization that develops voluntary consensus standards. The ANSI S12 committee, responsible for developing noise-related standards, consists of experts from various industries and government agencies.

    Standards Evolution and Update

    Standards are periodically reviewed and updated to reflect changes in technology, regulatory requirements, or new research findings. For example, the recent revision of ISO 9612:2018 incorporates new methods for noise measurement on individual machines.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Manufacturers must comply with relevant standards when designing and testing industrial equipment. Non-compliance can result in costly recalls, fines, and damage to a companys reputation.

    Industry-Specific Examples and Case Studies

  • A manufacturer of construction equipment failed to comply with the Machinery Directive, resulting in a 1 million fine.

  • A textile machinery manufacturer reduced noise emissions by 30 after implementing design changes based on ANSI S12.19 testing results.

    • Standard Requirements and Needs

    The ANSI S12.19 standard is essential for ensuring workplace safety and compliance with regulatory requirements. The following sections highlight the importance of this test:
