34、 than were used for the 2002 first edition. In the period from 1961 to 1985, International Standards for sound level meters did not provide any requirements or recommendations to account for the uncertainty of measurement in assessments of conformance to specifications. This absence of requirements
35、or recommendations to account for uncertainty of measurement created ambiguity in determinations of conformance to specifications for situations where a measured deviation from a design goal was close to a limit of the allowed deviation. If conformance was determined based on whether a measured devi
36、ation did or did not exceed the limits, the end-user of the sound level meter incurred the risk that the true deviation from a design goal exceeded the limits. To remove this ambiguity, IEC Technical Committee 29, at its meeting in 1996, adopted a policy to account for measurement uncertainty in ass
37、essments of conformance in International Standards that it prepares. The first edition (2002) of IEC 61672-1 accounted for measurement uncertainty by giving two explicit criteria for determining conformance to the specifications. The two criteria were (a) that measured deviations from design goals,
38、extended by the expanded uncertainty of measurement, do not exceed the applicable tolerance limits and (b) that the expanded uncertainty of measurement does not exceed agreed-upon maximum values. For most performance specifications, the tolerance limits were calculated essentially by extending the a
39、llowances for design and manufacturing from the 1979 and 1985 International Standards for sound level meters by the applicable maximum-permitted expanded uncertainties of measurement. Tolerance limits were intended to represent the limits for true deviations from design goals with a coverage probabi
40、lity of 95 %. This second edition of IEC 61672-1 uses an amended criterion for assessing conformance to a specification. Conformance is demonstrated when (a) measured deviations from design goals do not exceed the applicable acceptance limits and (b) the uncertainty of measurement does not exceed th
41、e corresponding maximum-permitted uncertainty. Acceptance limits are analogous to the allowances for design and manufacturing implied in the first edition (2002) of IEC 61672-1. Actual and maximum-permitted uncertainties are determined for a coverage probability of 95 %. The amended criterion for as
42、sessing conformance does not necessitate any change to the design of a sound level meter in order to conform to the specifications of this International Standard. The maximum-permitted uncertainties of measurement are not equivalent to the uncertainties associated with the measurement of a sound lev
43、el. The uncertainty of a measured sound level is evaluated from the anticipated deviations of the electroacoustical performance of the sound level meter from the relevant design goals as well as estimates of the uncertainties associated with the specific measurement situation. Unless more-specific i
44、nformation is available, the evaluation of the contribution of a specific sound level meter to a total measurement uncertainty can be based on the acceptance limits and maximum-permitted uncertainties specified in this standard. BS EN 61672-1:201361672-1 IEC:2013 7 ELECTROACOUSTICS SOUND LEVEL METER
45、S Part 1: Specifications 1 Scope This part of IEC 61672 gives electroacoustical performance specifications for three kinds of sound measuring instruments: a time-weighting sound level meter that measures exponential-time-weighted, frequency-weighted sound levels; an integrating-averaging sound level
46、 meter that measures time-averaged, frequency-weighted sound levels; and an integrating sound level meter that measures frequency-weighted sound exposure levels. Sound level meters conforming to the requirements of this standard have a specified frequency response for sound incident on the microphon
47、e from one principal direction in an acoustic free field or successively from random directions. Sound level meters specified in this standard are intended to measure sounds generally in the range of human hearing. NOTE The AU frequency weighting specified in IEC 61012 can be applied for measurement
48、s of A-weighted sound levels of audible sound in the presence of a source that contains spectral components at frequencies greater than 20 kHz.1Two performance categories, class 1 and class 2, are specified in this standard. In general, specifications for class 1 and class 2 sound level meters have
49、the same design goals and differ mainly in the acceptance limits and the range of operational temperature. Acceptance limits for class 2 are greater than, or equal to, those for class 1. This standard is applicable to a range of designs for sound level meters. A sound level meter may be a self-contained hand-held instrument with an attached microphone and a built-in display device. A sound level meter may be comprised of separate components in one or more enclosures and may be capable of displaying a vari
