This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 1996-2:2007), of which it constitutes a
technical revision.
ISO 1996 consists of the following parts, under the general title Acoustics — Description, measurement and
assessment of environmental noise:
ISO/DIS 1996-2
Introduction
Measurements of environmental noise are complicated because there is a very great number of variables to
consider when planning and performing the measurements. As each measurement occasion is subject to
current source and meteorological conditions which cannot be controlled by the operator it is often not
possible to control the resulting uncertainty of the measurements. Instead the uncertainty has to be
determined after the measurements based on an analysis of the acoustic measurements and collected data
on source operating conditions and on meteorological parameters important for the sound propagation.
Because this standard has the ambition both to comply with new and stricter requirements on measurement
uncertainty calculations and to cover all kinds of sources and meteorological conditions it has become rather
complicated to use. The best use of the standard is to use it as a basis for developing more dedicated
standards serving specific sources and aims.
1 Scope
This part of ISO 1996 describes how sound pressure levels intended as a basis for assessing environmental
noise can be determined by direct measurement and by extrapolation of measurement results by means of
calculation. This International Standard is primarily intended to be used outdoors but some guidance is given
for indoor measurements as well. It is flexible and to a large extent the user determines the measurement
effort and, accordingly, the measurement uncertainty, which has to be determined and reported in each case.
Thus no limits for allowable maximum uncertainty are set up. Often the measurement results have to be
combined with calculations to correct for reference operating or propagation conditions different from those
during the actual measurement. This International Standard can be applied on all kinds of environmental noise
sources, such as road and rail traffic noise, aircraft noise and industrial noise.

time interval during which measurements are conducted
Note 1 to entry: For measurements of sound exposure level or equivalent-continuous sound pressure level, the
measurement time interval is the time-period of integration.

independent measurements
consecutive measurements carried out with a time space long enough to make both source operating

conditions and sound propagation conditions statistically independent of the same conditions of other
measurements in the series
Note 1 to entry: This definition is specific for this standard. Other definitions may apply in different national regulations.
4 Measurement uncertainty
The uncertainty of sound pressure levels determined as described in this document depends on the sound
source and the measurement time interval, the weather conditions, the distance from the source and the
measurement method and instrumentation. The measurement uncertainty shall be determined in compliance
with the ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 (GUM). Choose one of the following approaches that all are GUM-compatible:
i) The modelling approach that consists in identifying and quantifying all major sources of uncertainty (the
so-called uncertainty budget). This is the preferred method.
ii) The inter-laboratory approach that consists in carrying out a round robin test in order to determine the
standard-deviation of reproducibility of the measurement method.
iii) The hybrid approach that consists in using jointly the modelling approach and the inter-laboratory
approach. In this case, the inter-laboratory approach is used for components of the uncertainty budget
which contribution cannot be quantified using the mathematical model of the modelling approach
because of lack of technical knowledge.
ISO/DIS 1996-2
According to the modelling approach each significant source of uncertainty has to be identified. Systematic
effects shall be eliminated or reduced by the application of corrections wherever possible. If the quantity to be
measured is L, which is a function of the quantities xj the formula becomes
If each quantity has the standard uncertainty uj the combined standard uncertainty is given by
n
u( L ) = (c j u j )2 (2)
1
assuming that the input quantities xj are independent. Under the same assumptions the sensitivity coefficient
cj is given by
∂f
cj = (3)
∂x j
The measurement uncertainty to be reported is the uncertainty associated with a chosen coverage probability.
By convention, a coverage probability of 95 % is usually chosen, with an associated coverage factor of 2. This
means that the result becomes L + 2 u.
NOTE Cognizant authorities may set other coverage probabilities. A coverage factor of 1,3 will, e.g., provide a

j
equations for the function f. Following the principles given in ISO 3745 [1], some important sources of
uncertainty can be identified; for an individual measurement, Formula (4) applies:
where
783677b1f8b5/sist-iso-1996-2-2017
L is the estimated value during the specified conditions for which a measured value is wanted,
δsou is an input quantity to allow for any uncertainty due to deviations from the expected operating
conditions of the source,
δmet is an input quantity to allow for any uncertainty due to meteorological conditions deviating from the
assumed meteorological conditions,
δloc is an input quantity to allow for any uncertainty due to the selection of receiver location.
L' and Lres are both dependent on δslm which is an input quantity to allow for any uncertainty of the
measurement chain (sound level meter in the simplest case). In addition Lres depends on δres wich is an input
quantity to allow for any uncertainty due to residual sound. Table 1 explains further the relationship between
the quantities in Formula (4) and their estimate and uncertainty.
Formula (4) is very simplified and each source of uncertainty is a function of several other sources of
uncertainty. In principle Formula (4) could be applied on any measurement lasting from seconds to years. In
6.1 and 6.2 the measurements are divided into long- and short-term measurements respectively. A short-term
ISO/DIS 1996-2
measurement may typically range between 10 minutes and a few hours whereas a typical long-term
measurement may range between a month and a year.
In Table 1 guidance is given how to determine cj and uj for insertion into Formula (2).

1)
0,5 refers to a class 1 sound level meter. A class 2 sound level meter would have the standard uncertainty
1,5 dB.
NOTE Some examples, including a spread sheet, of complete uncertainty calculations are given in Annex G.
5 Instrumentation
5.1.1 General
The instruments for measuring sound pressure levels, including microphone(s) as well as cable(s),
windscreen(s), recording devices and other accessories, if used, shall meet the requirements for a class 1
instrument according to IEC 61672-1 for free field or random incidence application, as appropriate. Filters
shall meet the requirements for a class 1 instrument according to IEC 61260. A windscreen shall always be
used during outdoor measurements.
NOTE Class 1 tolerance limits of IEC 61672-1 apply over a temperature range of -10°C to +50°C. If the instrument is
to be used in temperatures outside the range -10°C to +50°C, then there may be an increase in measurement uncertainty.
ISO/DIS 1996-2
5.1.2 Calibration
At the beginning and at the end of every measurement the entire sound pressure level measuring system
shall be checked at one or more frequencies by means of a sound calibrator meeting the requirements for a
class 1 instrument according to IEC 60942. Without any further adjustment, the difference between the
readings of two consecutive checks shall be less than or equal to 0,5 dB. If this value is exceeded, the results
of measurements obtained after the previous satisfactory check shall be discarded. For long-term monitoring
of several days or more, the requirements of ISO 20906:2009/Amd 1 apply.
5.1.3 Verification
Compliance of the sound pressure level measuring instrument, the filters and the sound calibrator shall be
verified by the existence of a valid certificate of compliance with the measurement parameters specified in the
relevant test methods in IEC 61672-3 [5], IEC 61260 and IEC 60942.
All compliance testing shall be conducted by a laboratory being accredited or otherwise nationally authorized
to perform the relevant tests and calibrations and ensuring metrological traceability to the appropriate
measurement standards. The recommended time interval for testing of system performance is once a year.
The maximum allowable interval is two years.
The maximum permissible error for instruments used for meteorological measurements shall be

± 0,5 hPa for barometric pressure measuring devices,
NOTE Some modern sonic anemometers are suitable for direct measurement of parameters to be used to determine
meteorological classes
6 Principles
6.1 General
1) Make a single measurement under very well-defined meteorological conditions while monitoring the
source operating conditions carefully;
2) Make a long term measurement, or many sampled measurements, spread out over time while
monitoring the meteorological conditions.
Each result and each type of measurement will have a certain uncertainty, which has to be determined. It is up
to the user of the results to determine which accuracy to aim for. No upper limits of the measurement
uncertainty are given.

NOTE
(standards.iteh.ai)
A window is a combination of emission (e.g. day, evening, night) and meteorological conditions (e.g. four
different classes, as shown in the matrix below). Preferably a window should include constant emission and propagation
conditions. In many cases the emission conditions are independent of the meteorological conditions and in other cases,
SIST ISO 1996-2:2017
such as for aircraft noise, there is a strong interrelationship.

Emission window
The uncertainty has to be determined for pk and Lk. Ideally the uncertainty of Lk is determined directly from a
large number of independent measurements, see 10.5. If only one or few measurements are carried out the
uncertainty has to be determined using other available information. If values of Lk are missing they have to be
estimated using a prediction method. This estimate shall also include an estimate of the uncertainty.
For meaningful single measurements the minimum requirement is that Lk is determined during favourable
propagation conditions as defined in Annex A and that the source operating conditions are monitored during
these measurements.
