EN 61672-1 Sound Level Meter Certification Testing
The European Standard EN 61672-1 sets out the performance requirements and test methods for Type I, II, and III sound level meters. This standard is crucial for ensuring that noise measurement instruments meet stringent accuracy and precision criteria, which are essential in occupational safety, environmental monitoring, and compliance with health regulations.
Occupational exposure to excessive noise can lead to hearing damage, stress, and other adverse effects on workers' health. Therefore, it is imperative to ensure that the sound level meters used for measuring noise levels in workplaces are certified according to EN 61672-1. This certification guarantees that these devices provide accurate and reliable measurements, which are vital for making informed decisions about protective measures.
The certification process involves several stages, including initial calibration, performance testing, and final verification. Each step is meticulously conducted by our team of experts to ensure compliance with the standard's stringent requirements.
