| Abstract |
European Directive 98/37/EC on the design of machinery (see CIS 99-29) requires manufacturers to declare acoustic emission pressure levels at the workstation and acoustic power levels (if acoustic emission pressure levels at the workstation exceed 85 dB(A)) in the machine instruction manual and technical documentation. This article describes a methodology for declaring machine noise by applying the appropriate test protocols in the case of an electrical grinding machine. The study indicates that the levels displayed are not always representative of the real acoustic power delivered by the machines and are unrelated to user exposure. |
