This Standard describes the following three procedures:

(a) A procedure for determining the A-weighted sound levels at representative points around the equipment (see Clause 5);

(b) A procedure for determining A-weightend sound power levels of the equipment (see Clause 6); and

(c) A procedure for determining sound pressure levels in octave or third octave bands around the equipment (see Clause 7).
