1、ANSI/ASA S12.10-2010/Part 1 (Revision of ANSI/ASA S12.10-2002/ISO 7779-1999 (R2007) AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Acoustics - Measurement of Airborne Noise Emitted by Information Technology and Telecommunications Equipment - Part 1: Determination of Sound Power Level and Emission Sound Pressure Level S

2、ecretariat: Acoustical Society of America Approved October 6, 2010 by: American National Standards Institute, Inc. Abstract This Standard specifies methods for the measurement of airborne noise emitted by information technology and telecommunications equipment. Hitherto, a wide variety of methods ha

3、ve been applied by individual manufacturers and users to satisfy particular equipment or application needs. These diverse practices have, in many cases, made comparison of noise emission difficult. This Standard simplifies such comparisons and is the basis for the declaration of the noise emission l

4、evels of information technology and telecommunications equipment. This Standard is technically identical to parts of ECMA-74. AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARDS ON ACOUSTICS The Acoustical Society of America (ASA) provides the Secretariat for Accredited Standards Committees S1 on Acoustics, S2 on Mechanica

5、l Vibration and Shock, S3 on Bioacoustics, S3/SC 1 on Animal Bioacoustics, and S12 on Noise. These committees have wide representation from the technical community (manufacturers, consumers, trade associations, organizations with a general interest, and government representatives). The standards are

6、 published by the Acoustical Society of America as American National Standards after approval by their respective Standards Committees and the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). These standards are developed and published as a public service to provide standards useful to the public, indu

7、stry, and consumers, and to Federal, State, and local governments. Each of the Accredited Standards Committees (operating in accordance with procedures approved by ANSI) is responsible for developing, voting upon, and maintaining or revising its own Standards. The ASA Standards Secretariat administe

8、rs Committee organization and activity and provides liaison between the Accredited Standards Committees and ANSI. After the Standards have been produced and adopted by the Accredited Standards Committees, and approved as American National Standards by ANSI, the ASA Standards Secretariat arranges for

9、 their publication and distribution. An American National Standard implies a consensus of those substantially concerned with its scope and provisions. Consensus is established when, in the judgment of the ANSI Board of Standards Review, substantial agreement has been reached by directly and material

10、ly affected interests. Substantial agreement means much more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered and that a concerted effort be made towards their resolution. The use of an American National Standard is completely volu

11、ntary. Their existence does not in any respect preclude anyone, whether he or she has approved the Standards or not, from manufacturing, marketing, purchasing, or using products, processes, or procedures not conforming to the Standards. NOTICE: This American National Standard may be revised or withd

12、rawn at any time. The procedures of the American National Standards Institute require that action be taken periodically to reaffirm, revise, or withdraw this Standard.

32、urement of airborne noise emitted by information technology and telecommunications equipment - Part 1: Determination of Sound Power Level and Emission Sound Pressure Level. This standard comprises a part of a group of definitions, standards, and specifications for use in noise. It was developed and

33、approved by Accredited Standards Committee S12 Noise, under its approved operating procedures. Those procedures have been accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The Scope of Accredited Standards Committee S12 is as follows: Standards, specifications, and terminology in the f

34、ield of acoustical noise pertaining to methods of measurement, evaluation, and control, including biological safety, tolerance, and comfort, and physical acoustics as related to environmental and occupational noise. This standard revises and replaces ANSI/ASA S12.10-2002/ISO 7779:1999. This document

35、 adopts, with permission, parts of the 10thEdition of ECMA-74 (2008). ECMA-74 is also the underlying document for ISO 7779 and it is anticipated that the next edition of ISO 7779 will be essentially identical to the 10thEdition of ECMA-74 (2008). Changes from ANSI/ASA S12.10-2002/ISO 7779:1999 inclu

36、de the following: Changes were made to the main body of this Standard to be consistent with ECMA-74, which was revised to correspond with upcoming changes in the underlying standards: ANSI/ASA S12.51 / ISO 3741, ANSI/ASA S12.54 / ISO 3744, ANSI/ASA S12.55 / ISO 3745 and ISO 11201. A revised Annex B

37、includes a provision allowing the use of a 0.5 m radius hemispherical surface for measuring the sound power emitted by small noise sources such as disk drives. Annex B also allows the use of a cylindrical measurement surface and follows wording in ANSI/ASA S12.54 / ISO 3744. Annex C was modified to

38、reference the latest version of ECMA-74 for details of modes of operation and installation of specific product types, which is contained in Annex C of the 10thEdition of ECMA-74 (2008). A revised Annex D includes prominence ratio in addition to tone-to-noise ratio, provides improved figures illustra

39、ting the tone-to-noise and prominence ratio calculations, and contains new criteria for prominent discrete tones. The new criteria are a result of a 3-year study by ECMA TC26 and ITI TC6. Changes were also made in part to better define the critical band edges, including changing from geometric criti

40、cal bands to arithmetic critical bands for frequencies below 500 Hz. Also, curves were fitted to the band edges for the lower and upper critical bands when calculating prominence ratio, thus eliminating the need to use iteration for the calculations. Clarifications were added on frequency range of i

41、nterest and elsewhere. Annex D was also revised to give clearer direction on determining the prominence of tones as well as introducing the concept of threshold of hearing when analyzing very low-noise equipment.

46、p.org. Acoustical Society of America 2010 All rights reserved viii Introduction ANSI/ASA S12.10-2010/Part 1 specifies methods for the measurement of airborne noise emitted by information technology and telecommunications equipment. Hitherto, a wide variety of methods have been applied by individual

47、manufacturers and users to satisfy particular equipment or application needs. These diverse practices have, in many cases, made comparison of noise emission difficult. This Standard simplifies such comparisons and is the basis for declaration of the noise emission level of information technology and

48、 telecommunications equipment. In order to ensure accuracy, validity and acceptability, this Standard is based on the basic Standards for determining the sound power level and for determining the emission sound pressure level at the operator position(s) and bystander position(s). Furthermore, implem

49、entation is simplified by conformance with these International Standards. In many cases free-field conditions over a reflecting plane are realized by hemi-anechoic rooms. These rooms may be particularly useful during product design to locate and to improve individual contributing noise sources. Reverberation test rooms may be more economical for production control and for obtaining sound power levels for noise emission declaration purposes. The method for measuring the emission sound pressure level at the oper
