消费者、制造商、建筑和土地使用规划师、政府部门以及其他关注噪声的人需要有关机械、设备和产品发出的噪声的信息，以便做出明智的购买决定。为了满足这一需求，本标准给出了如何正确、统一地向公众提供产品噪声级信息的要求和指南。本标准规定了一批机器、设备或产品的噪声排放值及其表示要求；确定平均A加权声功率级的方法；可选地确定总标准偏差的方法；可选地确定平均A加权发射声压级的方法； 以及验证制造商和其他产品供应商声明的噪声排放值的方法。本标准适用于发出噪声的商用产品，包括消费品和家用电器、信息技术产品、工业设备、户外设备和工程机械以及其他产品。

Information on the acoustical noise emitted by machinery, equipment, and products is needed by consumers, manufacturers, building and land-use planners, governmental authorities, and others concerned about noise in order to make informed purchasing decisions. To meet this need, this Standard gives requirements and guidelines for how to properly and uniformly provide product noise level information to the public. This standard specifies the noise emission values to be declared for a batch of machines, equipment, or products and the requirements for their presentation; the method for determining the mean A-weighted sound power level; the method for optionally determining the total standard deviation; the method for optionally determining the mean A-weighted emission sound pressure level; and the method for verifying the noise emission values that are declared by manufacturers and other product suppliers. This standard is applicable to commercially available products that emit noise, including consumer products and household appliances, information technology products, industrial equipment, outdoor equipment and construction machinery, and other products.
