Advanced Acoustic Measurement & Noise Emission Testing for International Testing & Certification Laboratories

DASM provides advanced acoustic measurement and noise emission testing services for Testing & Certification laboratories. ISO-compliant procedures, Background Noise Level assessment, and K1–K3 Noise Correction Factors ensure reliable, traceable, and internationally recognized acoustic data.

Acoustic measurement & noise emission testing for international laboratories from DASM

DASM recently completed an advanced acoustic measurement and noise emission testing package for a laboratory operated by an international corporation in the Testing & Certification sector. The purpose of the testing campaign was to assess the acoustic environment of the workplace area and verify compliance with international technical approval standards.

Scope of acoustic measurement & testing

The test program included the following key procedures:

• Background Noise Level measurement
• Determination of Noise Correction Factors (K1 – K2 – K3)

These acoustic parameters play a critical role in various Noise Emission Testing methodologies, particularly when evaluating industrial machinery, production lines, MEP systems, or prototype devices for R&D applications.

Standards & Technical Compliance

All acoustic measurements and testing procedures were carried out in accordance with relevant international ISO standards, including:

• ISO 1996 – Acoustics – Description, measurement and assessment of environmental noise
• ISO 11201 & ISO 11202 – Noise emitted by machinery and equipment – Determination of emission sound pressure levels
• ISO 3386-1 – Assessment of physical and mechanical characteristics

DASM’s team of acoustic specialists executed the test setup and measurement procedures strictly following ISO protocols to ensure accuracy, repeatability, and traceability of results.

Importance of acoustic validation for testing & certification laboratories

For laboratories operating within the Testing & Certification sector, acoustic parameters are essential to:

• Ensure a compliant test environment
• Minimize external noise interference and measurement errors
• Achieve international standard compatibility
• Facilitate data exchange with global certification bodies
• Support R&D, product validation, and industrial optimization

Background Noise Level measurement and Noise Correction Factor determination are mandatory steps to guarantee reliable data prior to noise emission assessment or product certification.
