Overview

SIST EN 27574-1:1997, titled Acoustics - Statistical methods for determining and verifying stated noise emission values of machinery and equipment - Part 1: General considerations and definitions (ISO 7574-1:1985), is a European standard developed by CEN. It provides essential definitions and insights into the statistical procedures used to determine and verify noise emission values of machines and equipment. This standard applies to both low-quantity and mass-produced machinery, ensuring clear and reliable noise emission labeling and verification.

The key focus is to harmonize the terminology and general methodology used in noise emission assessments to support consistent, reproducible, and transparent acoustic reporting and verification processes. The standard aligns with ISO 4871 regarding noise labeling and promotes the use of the A-weighted sound power level as the primary noise emission metric.

Key Topics

  • Definitions and Terminology: EN 27574-1 defines critical acoustic terms such as:

    • Noise emission value: A single quantified noise output of a machine.
    • Batch or lot of machines: A group produced under similar conditions with the same labeled noise emission value.
    • Standard deviation of production: Variability in noise emissions across machines in a batch.
    • Sample, sample size, and arithmetic mean: Statistical terms related to testing subsets of machines.
    • Labelled (stated) value: The noise emission value specified for an individual machine or batch, usually expressed as an integer in decibels.
  • Measurement Basis: The standard emphasizes A-weighted sound power level (LwA) as the noise emission quantity, which considers human hearing sensitivity and is widely used in acoustic evaluations.

  • Sampling and Statistical Methods: It covers concepts such as sample selection, single and double sampling, and inspection by variables, highlighting the use of statistical control to verify compliance of machines to stated noise limits.

  • Risk Assessment: Definitions around producer’s risk and consumer’s risk describe the probabilities of incorrect batch acceptance or rejection during noise emission verification.

  • Compatibility with Other Standards: It references measurement test codes outlined in ISO 3741 to ISO 3746 and ISO 4871 for noise labeling, ensuring global harmonization of acoustic testing and reporting.

Applications

  • Machinery Noise Certification: Manufacturers can use EN 27574-1 to define and verify noise emission values accurately, enabling reliable certification and labeling for customers.

  • Quality Control in Production: Applies to mass-produced and small batch machinery, allowing statistical sampling techniques to verify noise compliance economically and efficiently.

  • Regulatory Compliance and Labeling: Supports regulatory bodies and certification agencies in setting noise emission limits for machinery, ensuring products meet national and international acoustic standards.

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. Esch 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, govern- mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the ISO Council. They are approved in accordance with ISO procedures requiring at least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting. International Standard ISO 7574/1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 43, Acoustics. Users should note that all International Standards undergo revision from time to time and that any reference made herein to any other International Standard implies its latest edition, unless otherwise stated. 0 International Organization for Standardization, 1985 Printed in Switzerland SIST EN 27574-1:1997

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 7574/1-1985 (EI Acoustics - Statistical methods for determining and . verifying stated noise emission values of machinery and equipment - Part 1: General considerations and definitions 0 Introduction to ISO 7574 In Order to state the noise emission value for a machine or a batch of machines in an unambiguous manner, this four-patt series of International Standards provides guidelines for deter- mining the noise emission value to be stated (e.g. as a labelled value) and specifies verification procedures. These methods are based on the premise of clearly defined acoustical measure- ment methods and describe the handling of the variability of the measurement results and, if relevant, of the noise emissions of the machines in a batch. The methods presented in this series of International Standards are compatible with the requirements specified in ISO 4871, i.e., - the stated (e.g. labelled) value indicates the limit below which the noise emission value of the individual machine and/or a specified large proportion of the noise emission values of the batch lies; - the basic noise emission quantity used is the A-weighted Sound power level. Although this series of International Standards is drafted mainly in terms of A-weighted Sound power level as a noise emission quantity, it is equally applicable to other quantities. In this series of International Standard the term “label” is con- sidered to include all means for providing information on the noise emission values to potential users of the equipment; this includes labels, brochures, advertisements, commercial literature, etc. Requirements for this may be stipulated, for ex- ample in a contract or in regulations. The methods described may be applied not only to values stated for labelling purposes, but also to values stated for other purposes, for example : - to the upper noise limit set by an authority or specified in a technical Standard for a specific family of machines; - to contract values as agreed by the manufacturer and purchaser of the machine(s). This series of International Standards does not specify whether, or for which specific family of machines, the purposes mentioned above are relevant or whether the methods for determining and verifying stated noise emission values should be applied. This is left to a labelling code specific to the machinery or equipment concerned or, if this does not exist, to an agreement between the users of the Standards (e.g. in a contract). Two cases are considered: - the stated value is given for one individual machine; - the stated value is given for an entire batch of machines. For economic reasons, the stated values for batches of series- produced machines may be verified by sampling procedures. This four-part series of International Standards does not deal with the consequences that ensue if the stated value is not verified for a Single machine or for a batch (lot) of machines. This series of International Standards which comprise ISO 7574 requires that the labelled value be determined using the same measurement test code as that specified for verification. lt therefore applies to families of machines or equipment for which special measurement test Codes for the determination of noise emission quantities are prepared. If no special test code for a particular family exists, the methods specified in ISO 3741, ISO 3742, ISO 3743, ISO 3744 and ISO 3745 may be appropriate. NOTE - This does not preclude the use of other International Stan- dards, e.g. ISO 3746, which may form the basis of special measure- ment test Codes. In each case the installation and operating conditions typical for normal use shall be clearly specified or agreed. The relevant measurement conditions may provide information, in the form of Standard deviations, on the dispersion of measurement results. A measure for the dispersion of the emis- sion values due to the different emissions of the different machines is the Standard deviation of production (sec 3.18).
