ISO 11690‑2 is the second part of the ISO 11690 series of documents on acoustics. ISO 11690‑2 deals with the technical aspects of noise control in workplaces. The various technical measures are stated, the related acoustical quantities described, the magnitude of noise reduction discussed, and the verification methods outlined.
ISO 11690‑2 deals only with audible sound. ISO 11690‑2 outlines procedures to be considered when dealing with noise control at workplaces, within workrooms and in the open.
ISO 11690‑2 on noise control measures is useful for:
Noise control is an important aspect of occupational health and safety. It is essential that noise control measures be carried out to achieve the lowest reasonable levels of noise emission and noise exposure. If not regulated, continuous noise exposure can be hazardous to human health.
ISO 11690‑2 helps you to understand the desired noise control requirements necessary for all parties involved in noise control in workplaces and in the design of low-noise workplaces to reduce the impact of noise on human beings at workplaces.
