Surface treatment equipment - Noise test code for surface treatment equipment including its ancillary handling equipment - Accuracy grades 2 and 3
This document specifies all the information necessary to carry out efficiently and under standardised conditions the determination, declaration and verification of the airborne noise emission of surface treatment machines as stated in Annex A. Surface treatment machines include but are not limited to
- machines for cleaning and pre-treatment of industrial item surfaces,
- machinery for coating and colour mixing,
- coating plants
and
- dryers, ovens and evaporating equipment.
This document describes the determination of emission sound pressure levels at work stations or other specified positions as well as the determination of sound power levels for surface treatment machines as stated in Annex A. This can be small single units (e.g. handheld atomising spraying equipment) and also complex machines with large dimensions (e.g. machines for cleaning and pre-treatment of industrial item surfaces, spray booths, dryers), which could also be linked.
In case of very large machines as defined in 3.10 the determination of sound power level may be very complicated or cannot be done with a reasonable amount of work. Therefore in this document, the measurement for very large machines is simplified by determining an averaged emission sound pressure level instead of the sound power level.
This document specifies noise measurement methods, installation/mounting and operation conditions that shall be used for the test. The use of this document ensures the reproducibility of the determination of the noise emission characteristics within specified limits determined by the grade of accuracy of the basic noise measurement method used (see 5.1 and 6.1). Noise measurement methods allowed by this document are engineering methods (grade 2) and survey methods (grade 3).

This document applies to surface treatment machines manufactured after the date of issue of this document.
Oberflächenbehandlungsgeräte - Geräuschmessverfahren für Oberflächenbehandlungsgeräte einschließlich ihrer Be- und Entladeeinrichtungen - Genauigkeitsklassen 2 und 3
Dieses Dokument präzisiert alle notwendigen Informationen, um die Bestimmung, Angabe und Überprüfung der luftgetragenen Geräusch-Emissionswerte von Oberflächenbehandlungsgeräten (wie in Anhang A aufge-führt) effizient und unter genormten Bedingungen durchzuführen. Oberflächenbehandlungsgeräte sind z. B.
- Maschinen zur Oberflächenreinigung und -vorbehandlung von industriellen Produkten,
- Mischgeräte für Beschichtungsstoffe,
- Beschichtungsanlagen
und
- Trockner, Öfen und Verdunstungseinrichtungen.
Diese Norm beschreibt die Bestimmung von Emissions-Schalldruckpegeln an Arbeitsplätzen oder anderen festgelegten Orten sowie die Bestimmung der Schallleistungspegel an Oberflächenbehandlungsgeräten, wie in Anhang A beschrieben. Hierbei kann es sich um kleine Einzeleinheiten (z. B. handgeführte Spritz- oder Sprüheinrichtungen) und auch um komplexe Anlagen mit großen Abmessungen (z. B. Maschinen zur Oberflächenreinigung und -vorbehandlung von industriellen Produkten, Spritzkabinen, Trockner) handeln, die auch miteinander verbunden sein können.
Die Bestimmung des Schallleistungspegels ist für diese sehr großen Maschinen (wie in 3.10 definiert) vielfach äußerst kompliziert oder mit vertretbarem Aufwand nicht möglich. Die Messungen an sehr großen Maschinen werden daher in dieser Norm durch die Bestimmung des gemittelten Emissions-Schalldruckpegels anstelle des Schallleistungspegels vereinfacht.
Diese Norm legt Geräuschmessverfahren, Aufstellungs- und Befestigungsbedingungen sowie die Betriebsbedingungen für die Geräuschmessung fest. Die Anwendung dieser Norm stellt die Reproduzier-barkeit der Bestimmung der Kenndaten für das Geräuschmessverfahren innerhalb festgelegter Grenzen sicher, die durch die Genauigkeitsklasse der verwendeten Rahmenmessnorm (siehe 5.1 und 6.1) bestimmt werden. Diese Norm erlaubt Geräuschmessungen der Genauigkeitsklassen 2 und 3.

Equipements de traitement de surface - Code d'essai acoustique pour équipements de traitement de surface y compris les équipements de manutention auxilliaires - Classes de précision 2 et 3
Le présent document spécifie toutes les informations nécessaires pour procéder avec efficacité et dans des
conditions normalisées, à la détermination, à la déclaration et à la vérification du bruit aérien émis par les machines
de traitement de surface tel que défini à l'Annexe A. Les machines de traitement de surface comprennent,
sans toutefois s'y limiter :
— les machines de nettoyage et de prétraitement de surfaces de pièces industrielles ;
— les équipements pour le revêtement et le mélange des teintes ;
— les installations d’application ;
et
— les enceintes de séchage, fours et équipements d'évaporation.
Le présent document décrit la détermination des niveaux de pression acoustique d’émission aux postes de travail ou
en d'autres positions spécifiées ainsi que des niveaux de puissance acoustique des machines de traitement de
surface tel que défini à l'Annexe A. Il peut s’agir de petites unités simples (par exemple, équipements portatifs
d’atomisation et de pulvérisation) ou des machines complexes volumineuses (par exemple, des machines de
nettoyage et de prétraitement de surfaces de pièces industrielles, cabines d’application par pulvérisation, séchoirs),
qui peuvent être également couplées.
Lorsqu’il s’agit de machines de très grandes dimensions telles que définies en 3.10, la détermination du niveau de
puissance acoustique peut se révéler très compliquée ou irréalisable avec une charge de travail raisonnable. Dans le
présent document, le mesurage concernant des machines de très grandes dimensions est donc simplifié par la
détermination d’un niveau de pression acoustique d’émission pondéré plutôt que du niveau de puissance acoustique.
Le présent document spécifie les méthodes de mesurage acoustique et les conditions d'installation/montage et
de fonctionnement qui doivent être utilisées pour l'essai.

[EN ISO 11200:1995] 3.2 emission sound pressure level, Lp ten times the logarithm to the base 10 of the ratio of the square of the emission sound pressure, p2(t), to the square of the reference sound pressure, p02, measured with a particular time weighting and a particular frequency weighting, selected from those defined in EN 61672-1. It is expressed in decibels. The reference sound pressure is 20 µPa
[EN ISO 11200:1995] The emission sound pressure level of surface treatment equipment is determined at specified positions in accordance with this document 3.3 average emission sound pressure level Lp energy-average of the emission sound pressure levels Lp at several microphone positions around the machine 3.4 sound power, W rate per unit time at which airborne sound energy is radiated by a source. It is expressed in watts
[EN ISO 3740:2000] 3.5 sound power level, LW ten times the logarithm to the base 10 of the ratio of the sound power radiated by the source under test to the reference sound power. It is expressed in decibels. The reference sound power is 1 pW (10-12 W). Frequency weighting or the width of the frequency band used shall be indicated, for example, A-weighted sound power level (LWA)
[EN ISO 3740:2000] 3.6 work station, operator’s position position in the vicinity of the machine under test which is intended for an operator
[EN ISO 11200:1995] 3.7 specified position position defined in relation to a machine including, but not limited to, an operator’s position. The position can be a single fixed point, or a combination of points along a path or on a surface located at a specified distance from the machine
[EN ISO 11200:1995] 3.8 reference box hypothetical surface which is the smallest rectangular parallelepiped that just encloses the source and terminates on the reflecting plane or planes
[EN ISO 3744:1995] SIST EN 14462:2005+A1:2009
When the application of the provisions of this clause leads to microphone positions that are not practical or may be dangerous, closest positions that are practical or not dangerous shall be chosen. An example for the arrangement of measuring points is shown in Annex C. The A-weighted emission sound pressure level LpA shall be determined at all defined measuring points in accordance with the relevant basic standard. The highest measured value on each floor and the position of the corresponding measuring point shall be reported. 5.3 Selection of measuring points for very large machines For very large machines (3.10), instead of the sound power level the emission sound pressure levels shall be determined at several positions in the following way: The measuring points shall be arranged on a measuring path as described in 5.2. For machines comprising several floors one measuring path is required for every floor. The measuring points shall be located according to the procedure described in 5.2. The A-weighted emission sound pressure level LpA shall be determined at all defined measuring points in accordance with the relevant basic standard. The energy-average of the emission sound pressure levels LpA at all microphone positions – average emission sound pressure level LpA – shall be the characteristic value for description of noise emission. 5.4 Measurement uncertainties The measurement uncertainties for the individual measurement method are those indicated in the corresponding basic standards (see 5.1) in terms of standard deviation of reproducibility. The resulting uncertainty KA for A-weighted levels which shall be considered for noise emission declaration is given in Clause 11. 6 Sound power level determination 6.1 Selection of measurement method A-weighted sound power levels LWA shall be determined in accordance with one of the basic noise emission standards: EN ISO 3744 (grade 2: engineering); EN ISO 3746 (grade 3: survey); SIST EN 14462:2005+A1:2009
In this case the average emission sound pressure levelLpA shall be determined and declared. 6.3 Measurement uncertainty The measurement uncertainties for the individual measurement method are those indicated in the corresponding basic standards (see 6.1) in terms of standard deviation of reproducibility. The resulting uncertainty KA for A-weighted levels which shall be considered for noise emission declaration is given in 11. 7 Installation and mounting conditions In general, complex machines for surface treatment consisting of the different components will be mounted at the destination; thus the installation conditions are given. If individual machines of smaller dimensions are measured in rooms, outside or within test rooms the machine shall be installed, mounted and linked in accordance with the manufacturer’s written instructions (to ensure the intended use). The installation chosen for noise measurement shall be indicated in the information to be recorded. The installation and mounting conditions shall be identical for the determination of both sound power level and emission sound pressure levels at specified positions, and for declaration purposes. 8 Operating conditions Since noise emissions depend on the corresponding operation mode of the machines, the operating conditions are specified in general in order to obtain comparable measuring results. The test shall be carried out under normal operating conditions including all sources of noise, normally present when the machine is under operation (e.g. pump, fan, conveyor). Therefore, Annex A of this document defines the operating conditions for the machines under test. When, for a particular machine listed in Annex A, operating conditions defined in Annex A cannot be used, the reason shall be given and the conditions actually used shall be recorded, reported and declared.
In case of multi-purpose machines, the operating conditions shall be those of the purpose which gives the highest noise emissions. In case of different working processes that together constitute a characteristic working cycle, it is this cycle that is defined as the operating conditions. SIST EN 14462:2005+A1:2009
A-weighted emission sound pressure level at workstations, where this exceeds 70 dB (A); where this level does not exceed 70 dB (A), this fact shall be indicated. A-weighted sound power level emitted by the machinery where the A-weighted emission sound pressure level at workstations exceeds !80 dB" (A). In the case of very large machines, instead of the sound power level, the A-weighted average emission sound pressure level.
For noise declaration of an individual machine an uncertainty KA of the A-weighted value of 2,5 dB (engineering, grade 2) or 5 dB (survey, grade 3) shall be used. For a production series of machines the arithmetic average of measured noise emission values and the uncertainty KA shall be declared (see Annex A of EN ISO 4871:1996). The noise declaration shall mention explicitly that the noise emission values have been obtained according to this noise test code, and indicate which basic noise measurement standards have been used. If this is not applicable, deviations from the basic noise measurement standard shall be indicated precisely. NOTE Additional noise emission quantities such as sound power levels in octave bands may also be given in the noise declaration. In this case, care shall be taken to present additional noise emission data in such form as to prevent confusion with the declared noise emission values. The method used and the grade of accuracy applied shall be stated.
