Overview
EN ISO 3745:2012/A1:2017 (CEN) is an amendment to ISO 3745:2012 that updates precision laboratory methods for determining sound power levels and sound energy levels of noise sources from sound pressure measurements in anechoic and hemi‑anechoic rooms. The amendment aligns room‑qualification procedures with ISO 26101:2017, revises Annex A (qualification of test rooms), and clarifies practical measurement requirements for conformity with machine‑noise and related EU directives.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope: Precision methods for measurements in anechoic and hemi‑anechoic rooms (laboratory conditions).
- Normative reference added: ISO 26101:2017 (qualification of free‑field environments).
- Room qualification (Annex A replacement) follows ISO 26101 procedures and includes:
- Default use of discrete‑frequency (e.g., pure tone or narrowband) qualification unless source is known to be broadband.
- Maximum allowable deviations from the inverse square law (measured vs. theoretical):
- Anechoic rooms: ≤ 630 Hz: ±1.5 dB; 800–5 000 Hz: ±1.0 dB; ≥ 6 300 Hz: ±1.5 dB
- Hemi‑anechoic rooms: ≤ 630 Hz: ±2.5 dB; 800–5 000 Hz: ±2.0 dB; ≥ 6 300 Hz: ±3.0 dB
- Frequency range to be qualified: at least 100 Hz to 10 000 Hz (rules for band selection and evaluation specified).
- Mathematical origin for inverse square evaluation must lie within the physical volume of the test source.
- Requirements for microphone traverse paths and spatial resolution updated (see ISO 26101).
- Reflecting plane in hemi‑anechoic rooms: sound absorption coefficient ≤ 0.06 over the qualified range.
- Qualification checks recommended after absorber modification and periodically (≤ 5 years).
- Annex B provides an alternative, source‑specific qualification method (not for general room qualification).
- Notes on relaxed background noise and test source stability limits consistent with ISO 26101.
Applications and users
This standard is used by:
- Acoustic test laboratories certifying anechoic/hemi‑anechoic rooms
- Manufacturers of machinery, appliances and components performing sound power/energy measurements
- Product compliance engineers demonstrating conformity with Directive 2006/42/EC (machinery)
- Acoustic consultants, R&D teams, and quality assurance groups conducting precision noise testing
Practical uses include sound power certification, R&D acoustic characterization, product noise labeling, and regulatory conformity testing.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

AMENDMENT 1
Page 1, Normative references
Add the following reference:
ISO 26101:2017, Acoustics — Test methods for the qualification of free-field environments
Page 29, Annex A
Replace Annex A with the following:
Annex A
(normative)
General procedures for qualification of anechoic and hemi-anechoic rooms
A.1 General
The performance of an anechoic or hemi-anechoic room is tested by comparing the spatial decrease of
sound pressure emitted from a test sound source with the decrease of sound pressure that would occur
in an ideal free sound field. The evaluation of this performance is based on the procedures outlined in
ISO 26101.
This annex contains the qualification criteria and test parameters which are required to qualify test
rooms to the requirements of this document. To conform to this document, when no specific criteria are
given, the requirements appropriate for sound power measurements in ISO 26101 shall be met.
A check of the room performance is recommended after modification of the room absorbers and
periodically at intervals not exceeding 5 years.
The following is a comparison of this annex with ISO 26101 and previous versions of this annex:
a) As in the previous version (ISO 3745:2012, Annex A), this annex requires that test rooms are
qualified using discrete-frequency (e.g. pure tone) measurements unless it is known that the
specific noise source under test radiates only broadband noise (see Note below).
b) Consistent with the wording in ISO 26101, this annex defines methods for “discrete-frequency”
and “broadband” qualification of test rooms. Discrete-frequency qualification is essentially
identical to the pure tone qualification used in the previous versions of this annex. In both cases,
only one pure tone is analysed in each frequency band in Table A.1. The wording change from
“pure tone qualification” is consistent with, for example, common fast Fourier transform methods
such as the use of pseudo random noise and narrow bandwidth analysis; see Reference [37] and
ISO 26101:2017, 5.1.4.1, 5.1.4.2.
c) For the purposes of this document, this annex does not require an evaluation of the position of
the acoustic centre. In this annex

This article discusses the amendment made to the EN ISO 3745:2012 standard, which is related to the determination of sound power levels and sound energy levels of noise sources using sound pressure. The amendment, known as ISO 3745:2012/Amd 1:2017, focuses on precision methods for anechoic rooms and hemi-anechoic rooms. These rooms are designed to minimize sound reflections, allowing for more accurate measurements of sound power levels. The amendment provides specific requirements and guidelines for conducting these measurements in anechoic and hemi-anechoic rooms.
