The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each 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, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission IEC on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 3744 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 43, Acoustics, Subcommittee SC 1, Noise. This third edition of ISO 3744 cancels and replaces the second edition ISO 37441994 and ISO 48721978, of which it constitutes a merger and a technical revision.

General guidelines to assist in the selection are provided in ISO 37401. The selection depends on the environment of the available test facility and on the precision of the sound power level or sound energy level values required. It may be necessary to establish a noise test code see ISO 12001 for the individual noise source in order to select the appropriate sound measurement surface and microphone array from among those allowed in each member of the ISO 37412to ISO 37476series, and to give requirements on test unit mounting, loading and operating conditions under which the sound power levels or sound energy levels are to be obtained. The sound power emitted by a given source into the test environment is calculated from the mean square sound pressure that is measured over a hypothetical measurement surface enclosing the source, and the area of that surface. The sound energy for a single sound event is calculated from this sound power and the time over which it existed. The s specified in this International Standard permit the determination of the sound power level and the sound energy level in frequency bands optionally with frequency A-weighting applied. For applications where greater accuracy is required, reference can be made to ISO 3745, ISO 37412or ISO 961413-15. If the relevant criteria for the measurement environment specified in this International Standard are not met, it might be possible to refer to another standard from this series, or to ISO 961413-15. This International Standard describes s of accuracy grade 2 engineering grade as defined in ISO 12001, when the measurements are pered in a space that approximates an acoustically free field over a reflecting plane. Such an environment can be found in a specially designed room, or within industrial buildings or outdoors. Ideally, the test source should be mounted on a sound-reflecting plane located in a large open space. For sources normally installed on the floor of machine rooms, corrections are defined to account for undesired reflections from nearby objects, walls and the ceiling, and for the residual background noises that occur there.

The sound power level or, in the case of noise bursts or transient noise emission, the sound energy level produced by the noise source, in frequency bands or with A-weighting applied, is calculated using those measurements. NOTE Differently shaped measurement surfaces can yield differing estimates of the sound power level of a given noise source and an appropriately drafted noise test code see ISO 12001 gives detailed ination on the selection of the surface. 1.2 Types of noise and noise sources The s specified in this International Standard are suitable for all types of noise steady, non-steady, fluctuating, isolated bursts of sound energy, etc. defined in ISO 12001. This International Standard is applicable to all types and sizes of noise source e.g. stationary or slowly moving plant, installation, machine, component or sub-assembly, provided the conditions for the measurements can be met. NOTE It is possible that the conditions for measurements given in this International Standard are impracticable for very tall or very long sources such as chimneys, ducts, conveyors and multi-source industrial plants. A noise test code for the determination of noise emission of specific sources can provide alternative s in such cases. 1.3 Test environment The test environments that are applicable for measurements made in accordance with this International Standard can be located indoors or outdoors, with one or more sound-reflecting planes present on or near which the noise source under test is mounted. The ideal environment is a completely open space with no bounding or reflecting surfaces other than the reflecting planes such as that provided by a qualified hemi-anechoic chamber, but procedures are given for applying corrections within limits that are specified in the case of environments that are less than ideal. 1.4 Measurement uncertainty Ination is given on the uncertainty of the sound power levels and sound energy levels determined in accordance with this International Standard, for measurements made in limited bands of frequency and with frequency A-weighting applied. The uncertainty cons to ISO 120011996, accuracy grade 2 engineering grade.
