24、r equivalent measurement system meeting the requirements of class 1 instruments (inclusive of the recommended windscreen, if used). These requirements are described in IEC 61672-1.The entire measurement system shall be checked by means of a sound calibrator that fulfils the requirements of class 1 s
25、ound calibrators according to IEC 60942.Measurements shall be carried out using the time weighting “F” of the acoustic measurement instrument and the “A” frequency weighting curve also described in IEC 61672-1. When using a system that includes a periodic monitoring of the A-weighted sound pressure
26、level, a reading should be made at a time interval not greater than 30 ms.The instruments shall be maintained and calibrated in accordance to the instructions of the instrument manufacturer.When no general statement or conclusion can be made about conformance of the sound level meter model to the fu
27、ll specifications of IEC 61672-1, the apparatus used for measuring the sound pressure level shall be a sound level meter or equivalent measurement system meeting the requirements of class 1 instruments as described in IEC 61672-3.NOTE The tests of IEC 61672-3 cover only a limited subset of the speci
28、fications in IEC 61672-1 for which the scope is large (temperature range, frequency requirements up to 20 kHz, EMC tests). It is economically impossible to verify the whole IEC 61672-1 standard requirements one each item of a computerized data acquisition systems model.5.1.2 CalibrationAt the beginn
29、ing and at the end of every measurement session, the entire acoustic measurement system shall be checked by means of a sound calibrator as described in 5.1.1. Without any further adjustment, the difference between the readings shall be less than or equal to 0,5 dB. If this value is exceeded, the res
30、ults of the measurements obtained after the previous satisfactory check shall be discarded.5.1.3 Compliance with requirementsCompliance of the sound calibrator with the requirements of IEC 60942 shall be verified once a year.Compliance of the instrumentation system with the requirements of IEC 61672
31、-3 shall be verified at least every two years.All compliance testing shall be conducted by a laboratory which is authorized to perform calibrations traceable to the appropriate standards.5.1.4 Meteorological InstrumentationThe meteorological instrumentation used to monitor the environmental conditio
32、ns during the test shall meet the following specifications: 1 C or less for a temperature measuring device;2 ISO 2015 All rights reservedBS ISO 14878:2015ISO 14878:2015(E) 1,0 m/s for a wind speed-measuring device; 5 hPa for a barometric pressure measuring device; 5 % for a relative humidity measuri
33、ng device.6 Acoustical environment, meteorological conditions, and background noise6.1 Test siteThe AWD shall be tested in an anechoic environment. Alternatively, it may be tested in a semi anechoic chamber or in an open space. In this case, precautions shall be taken to avoid reflections from the g
34、round within the measuring area (for instance, by erecting a set of absorbing screens).The test facility shall meet requirements of ISO 26101 with the following qualification criteria and measurement requirement appropriate to this test method as recommended by ISO 26101: space to be deemed anechoic
35、 shall be at least a 5-metre radius volume; test sound source location shall position in the middle of the space to be deemed anechoic, on the floor; microphone transverses shall be from the centre of the source to each microphone position; the maximum spacing of the measurement points shall depend
36、on the size of the space to be deemed anechoic. A minimum of 10 points shall be used for spatial resolution of measurement; qualification band width shall be defined to cover the typical of the spectral range of interest that will be measured. Without any information, it is recommended from 100 Hz t
37、o 10 000 Hz; generation of sound shall be a broadband noise and a 1/3 octave filter for measurement requirements.For indoor test site, the test facility shall have a cut-off frequency lower than the frequency of the lowest component of the sound emitted by the AWD under test.In the vicinity of the m
38、icrophone, there shall be no obstacle that could influence the acoustic field and no person shall remain between the microphone and the noise source. The meter observer shall be positioned so as not to influence the meter reading.NOTE It is expected that users of this International Standard will und
39、erstand that valid measurements can only be made when the cut-off frequency is lower than the lowest frequency of interest. A specific numerical requirement for cut-off frequency is not given due to the range of variation of appropriate cut-off frequencies depending upon the measured article.6.2 Met
40、eorological conditionsThe meteorological instrumentation shall deliver data representative for the test site and shall be positioned adjacent to the test area at a height representative of the height of the measuring microphone.The measurements shall be made when the ambient air temperature is withi
41、n the range from 10 C to 30 C.The tests shall not be carried out if the wind speed, including gusts, at microphone height exceeds 5 m/s, during the sound measurement interval.A value representative of temperature, wind speed and direction, relative humidity, and barometric pressure shall be recorded
42、 during the sound measurement interval.6.3 Background noiseAny sound peak which appears to be unrelated to the characteristics of the general sound level of the AWD shall be ignored in taking the readings. ISO 2015 All rights reserved 3BS ISO 14878:2015ISO 14878:2015(E)The background noise shall be
43、measured for duration of 10 s immediately before and after a series of tests. The measurements shall be made with the same microphones and microphone locations used during the test. The maximum A-weighted sound pressure level shall be reported.The background noise (including any wind noise) shall be
44、 at least 10 dB below the A-weighted sound pressure level produced by the AWD under test.6.4 Mounting of the AWDThe AWD to be tested shall be fitted as specified by the manufacturer. A representative tube (e.g. for a handlebar) or other required mounting point shall be rigidly fixed to a solid metal
45、lic base, which shall have a mass of at least 15 kg.Unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer, the bell shall be mounted horizontally. Any tilt shall be stated in the Test Report.The base shall be so designed that reflections from its faces, or vibrations, do not noticeably affect the measureme
46、nts results.6.5 Microphone and AWD positionsThe microphone and the AWD shall be located 1,2 m 0,05 m above the ground level.The reference direction for free field conditions (see IEC 61672-1) shall be horizontal and directed perpendicularly towards the centre of the AWD.The microphone shall be locat
47、ed at a distance of 2 m 0,01 m from the centre of the bell.7 Measurement of the sound pressure level7.1 Actuation of the AWDThe AWD to be tested shall be rung by the operator who activates (push, pull, press) the control device as required by the manufacturer. The presence of this operator shall hav
48、e no noticeable influence on the test results.One measurement sequence consists 10 times consecutively over its full travel in 4 s 0,5 s.Five sequences shall be carried out and each sequence has to be interrupted by a pause.This operation shall be carried out five times.7.2 Measurement readings and
49、reported values7.2.1 GeneralThe maximum A-weighted sound pressure level in relation to 2 10-5Pa (N/m), indicated during each sequence of 10 actuations shall be noted, to the first significant digit after the decimal place (for example -XX,X). If a sound peak obviously out of character with the general sound pressure level is observed, the measurement shall be discarded.Five measurement results, within 2,0 dB, shall be used for the calculation of the final result.7.2.2 Data compilationThe final value to be r
