European foreword
This document (prEN 1793-5:2023) has been prepared under the direction of Technical Committee
CEN/TC 226 “Road equipment”, by Working Group 6 “Noise reducing devices”, the secretariat of which is
held by AFNOR.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 1793-5:2016.
EN 1793-5:2023 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 1793-5:2016:
— The definitions from 3.1 to 3.7 have been updated to be in accordance to the last version of EN 14388.
— The single number rating DL is now reported with one decimal digit.
RI
— Annex A on the low-frequency limit and the window width has been added.
— One value for the standard deviation of reproducibility and repeatability in each one-third octave
frequency band has been retained, in place of three values (min, max and median) as before (see
Table B.1).
— Annex C (template of the test report) is now normative.
— The example in C.5 on the declaration of the measurement uncertainty has been updated accordingly.
— Annex C of EN 1793-5:2016 has been deleted.
