Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 17201-5 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 43, Acoustics, Subcommittee SC 1, Noise.
ISO 17201 consists of the following parts, under the general title Acoustics — Noise from shooting ranges:
⎯ Part 1: Determination of muzzle blast by measurement
⎯ Part 2: Estimation of muzzle blast and projectile sound by calculation
⎯ Part 3: Guidelines for sound propagation calculations
⎯ Part 4: Prediction of projectile sound
⎯ Part 5: Noise management

Introduction
The initiative to prepare a standard on impulse noise from shooting ranges was taken by the Association of
European Manufacturers of Sporting Ammunition (AFEMS), in April 1996 by the submission of a formal
proposal to CEN (see doc. CEN N 1085). After consultation in CEN in 1998, CEN/TC 211, Acoustics, asked
ISO/TC 43, Acoustics, Subcommittee SC 1, Noise to prepare ISO 17201 (all parts).
This part of ISO 17201 provides guidance for noise management of shooting activity at shooting ranges. It
deals with the control of the noise received outside shooting ranges at specified reception points based either
on measured or calculated data.
In general, national or regional environmental authorities specify how sound from shooting ranges should
comply with guidelines, rules or regulations made by the relevant authorities. In situations with no official
regulations, the management of a shooting range may use the method specified in this part of ISO 17201.
NOTE Conflicting national guidelines, rules or regulations can prevent the application of methods described in this
part of ISO 17201.
Looking through various regulations used worldwide, many different approaches for noise control are found. In
some countries, the long-term equivalent continuous sound pressure level is used to limit sound levels from
shooting. In other countries, noise control is managed by limiting the level of one shot or by the difference
between the long-term rating level and background sound pressure level, etc. This part of ISO 17201 gives a
method for noise management to control the equivalent continuous sound pressure level by managing the
number of shots for each combination of weapon type, ammunition type, the locations of firing, and the firing
direction that is used in a shooting range. The weighting of the number of shots is related to the sound
exposure levels produced by each combination at the reception points. By directly relating the number of
shots to the limiting values, management objectives such as minimizing the noise load in the neighbourhood
can be met.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 17201-5:2010(E)

Acoustics — Noise from shooting ranges —
Part 5:
Noise management
1 Scope
This part of ISO 17201 gives guidelines for noise management of shooting activity at shooting ranges. The
control of the noise received outside shooting ranges at specified reception points based either on measured
or calculated sound exposure levels is specified. This part of ISO 17201 can also be used in the planning of
new or reconstruction of existing ranges. It is intended to comply with all relevant local rules and regulations
which imply a conversion of sound exposure level to other indicators as given in ISO 17201-3.
This part of ISO 17201 applies to weapons with calibres of less than 20 mm or explosive charges of less than
50 g TNT equivalent and pressures of less than 1 kPa at the reception point.
NOTE National or other regulations, which could be more stringent, can apply.
