Overview

EN ISO 3822-4:1997 (adopted as CEN standard) is part of the EN ISO 3822 series on acoustics for water-supply components. This Part 4 defines the mounting and operating conditions to be used in laboratory tests when measuring noise emission from in-line valves and special appliances caused by water flow. The document establishes consistent test setups so noise data are comparable between laboratories and manufacturers. It replaces the first edition.

Key topics and requirements

The standard focuses on practical, repeatable conditions rather than product performance limits. Main technical topics typically covered include:

  • Mounting conditions: specified arrangements for connecting the test item to a test rig or pipeline to ensure representative mechanical support and minimize test-to-test variation.
  • Operating conditions: defined hydraulic conditions (flow and pressure regimes) and modes of operation relevant to in-line valves and special appliances when measuring flow-induced noise.
  • Test configuration: guidance on orientation, pipework layout, and retention of flow conditioners or straight runs needed for reproducible results.
  • Measurement environment considerations: requirements to control background noise and resonances in the laboratory so the appliance noise can be isolated.
  • Instrumentation placement and repeatability: recommended locations and practices for microphones and sensors to ensure comparable noise emission results across tests.
  • Documentation: prescription for recording test conditions, mounting details and operating points so results are traceable and comparable.

(Note: the standard defines these types of conditions and arrangements; for precise procedures and numerical values refer to the full EN ISO 3822-4 text.)

Applications and users

This standard is useful for anyone involved in acoustic testing or specification of water supply components:

  • Manufacturers of valves, flow controllers and special in-line appliances seeking standardized noise emission data for product development and catalogues.
  • Independent test laboratories performing repeatable laboratory noise measurements for compliance, certification or comparison.
  • Acoustic and hydraulic engineers assessing installation noise impacts in buildings and infrastructure.
  • Specifiers and procurement teams requiring consistent test data to compare products on noise performance.
  • Regulators and certification bodies using standardized methods for verification.

Using EN ISO 3822-4 helps produce reproducible, comparable noise emission data that support quieter water-distribution systems and informed product selection.

The SIST EN ISO 3822-4:1999 standard provides comprehensive guidelines for the mounting and operating conditions necessary to conduct reliable laboratory tests on noise emission from appliances and equipment used in water supply installations. This standard is specifically targeted at in-line valves and appliances, emphasizing the importance of standardized conditions to ensure accurate and comparable measurements of noise emissions resulting from water flow. One of the key strengths of this standard is its clear definition of the operating conditions that must be adhered to during testing. By establishing a consistent framework, it minimizes variables that could skew results, thus enhancing the reliability and reproducibility of the measurements. This clarity is vital for manufacturers and testing laboratories, as it allows for better compliance with regulatory requirements and facilitates the development of quieter appliances. Additionally, the standard replaces the first edition, indicating an evolution in the methodology and considerations relevant to noise emission testing. As technology and understanding of acoustics progress, the updates likely reflect new insights into how appliances interact with water flow and the resultant acoustic profiles.
