ISO 9613-2 Attenuation of Sound During Propagation Outdoors Laboratory Testing Service

EUROLABs Expertise in Noise Measurement and Reduction

Standard-Related Information

ISO 9613-2 is an international standard that provides a method for calculating the attenuation of sound during propagation outdoors. The standard is published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is widely adopted globally. In this article, we will delve into the world of noise measurement and reduction, exploring the importance of ISO 9613-2 testing in various industries.

International and National Standards

The standard is developed by ISO Technical Committee 43 (TC 43), which deals with acoustics. The committee consists of representatives from over 30 countries, ensuring that the standard is widely accepted and applicable globally. In addition to ISO 9613-2, other relevant standards include:

  • ASTM E1130: Standard Test Method for Outdoor A-Weighted Sound Level

  • EN 1793-1: Acoustics - Attenuation of sound by the atmosphere - Part 1: Calculation methods

  • TSE (Turkish Standards Institution) 1220: Acoustics - Attenuation of sound by the atmosphere

    • These standards ensure that noise measurement and reduction are carried out in a consistent and reliable manner, providing accurate results for various applications.

    Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations play a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and relevance of standards. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is one such organization, responsible for developing and publishing over 22,000 international standards. Other notable standard development organizations include:

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM)

  • European Committee for Standardization (CEN)

  • Turkish Standards Institution (TSE)

    • These organizations work together to develop and maintain standards that meet the needs of various industries and countries.

    Evolution of Standards

    Standards evolve over time, reflecting changes in technology, industry practices, and regulatory requirements. ISO 9613-2 has undergone several revisions since its initial publication in 1996, with updates made to reflect new research findings and technological advancements. For example, the latest edition (2018) includes improved calculations for sound attenuation in complex terrain.

    Standard Compliance Requirements

    Different industries have varying compliance requirements for noise measurement and reduction. For instance:

  • Construction industry: ISO 9613-2 testing is essential for assessing noise levels from construction equipment

  • Transportation industry: Noise emission levels must comply with standards such as EN 12657 (Railways) or ASTM E1130 (Highway)

  • Industrial sector: Noise level limits are specified in various national and international regulations, including EUs Machinery Directive

    • Standard-Related Legislation

    Various laws and regulations govern noise measurement and reduction worldwide. Some notable examples include:

  • US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): National Ambient Air Quality Standards

  • European Union: Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC)

  • Turkish Ministry of Environment and Forestry: Noise Pollution Regulation (2019)

    • These regulatory requirements necessitate the use of ISO 9613-2 testing for accurate noise level assessments.

    Standard Compliance for Different Industries

    Industry-specific standards ensure that noise measurement and reduction meet the unique needs of each sector. Some examples include:

  • Construction: ASTM E1130, EN 1793-1

  • Transportation: EN 12657 (Railways), ASTM E1130 (Highway)

  • Industrial: ISO 9613-2, European Unions Machinery Directive

    • Standard Development and Maintenance

    The development and maintenance of standards involve a collaborative effort between industry experts, regulatory bodies, and standard development organizations. This ensures that standards remain relevant, accurate, and effective in addressing specific needs.
