BS 6805-3 is an International Standard that discusses the statistical methods for determining and verifying stated noise emission values of machinery and equipment.
BS 6805-3 provides guidelines for determining the labelled value, Lc, by the labeller and specifies a simple method for verifying compliance of the noise emissions of a batch (lot) of machinery or equipment with its labelled value, Lc. The method described in BS 6805-3 is used when a specific noise labelling code specifies the reference standard deviation, sample size and sampling procedure for the family of machines.
BS 6805-3 is preferably used only by agreement, e.g., as reached in the standards relating to the relevant machinery industry or in a contract.
Note 1: BS 6805-3 does not deal with the consequences that ensue if the stated value is not confirmed as verified for a batch of machines.
Note 2: BS 6805-3 is derived from ISO 7574-4.
BS 6805-3 on noise emission values of machinery is relevant to:
BS 6805-3 describes all kinds of stated values such as information on a label, the upper noise limit set by an authority, and the agreed contract value for which the methods are applied.
BS 6805-3 works on the principle so that the labelled value indicates the limit below on which a specified considerable proportion of the noise emission values of the batch lies. BS 6805-3 provides guidelines for the determination of the labelled value and helps you in verifying the labelled value for a batch of machines.
Overall, BS 6805-3 provides guidance on the method to investigate the stated values of noise emission for batches of machines using a simple (transition) method which can be beneficial for your business and can also help you to expand your business globally.
