ISO 11202 Portable Air Conditioner Noise Testing
The ISO 11202 standard provides a framework for the testing of noise levels in portable air conditioners. This service ensures that manufacturers meet stringent acoustic performance requirements, safeguarding consumer health and well-being by minimizing exposure to excessive noise. The test method is designed to evaluate the sound power level emitted by portable AC units under specific operating conditions.
The testing process involves placing the unit on a vibration isolation platform in a reverberant room where background noise is minimized. The device operates at various settings, including low, medium, and high fan speeds, as well as at maximum cooling capacity. Measurements are taken using a calibrated sound level meter positioned at standard distances from the unit.
Compliance with ISO 11202 ensures that portable air conditioners meet international safety standards, which is crucial for protecting users from potential hearing damage and discomfort caused by excessive noise levels. This service plays a vital role in ensuring product quality, reliability, and compliance across various markets.
The testing protocol includes detailed procedures to ensure accurate measurement of sound power levels at different operational conditions. These include setting up the equipment correctly, calibrating instruments, conducting tests under controlled environmental conditions, and analyzing data using appropriate software.
Quality assurance measures are implemented throughout the process to maintain accuracy and consistency in test results. This includes regular calibration of measurement devices, adherence to standard operating procedures, and review by experienced technicians.
The report generated from this service provides comprehensive details about the noise performance of portable air conditioners. It includes sound pressure levels at specified distances, average sound power levels across various operating modes, and compliance with relevant standards such as ISO 11202.

Scope and Methodology
The scope of ISO 11202 Portable Air Conditioner Noise Testing encompasses the evaluation of sound power levels emitted by portable air conditioners under specified operating conditions. This testing ensures that products comply with international standards, thereby protecting users from potential health risks associated with excessive noise exposure.
During the test, the portable AC unit is placed on a vibration isolation platform within a reverberant room to minimize background noise interference. The equipment operates at different settings including low, medium, and high fan speeds, as well as maximum cooling capacity, ensuring comprehensive data collection across various operational modes.
The sound level meter used for measurement must be calibrated according to ISO 3745:2016 guidelines to ensure accuracy. Measurements are taken at predetermined distances from the unit, typically one meter in front of it when operating on high fan speed and maximum cooling mode. The results provide a clear picture of the noise characteristics of each model tested.
- Calibration of Sound Level Meter
- Detailed Measurement Points
The methodology involves several key steps:
- Setting up the portable air conditioner on the vibration isolation platform in a controlled environment.
- Calibrating the sound level meter to ensure precise measurements.
- Running tests at different fan speeds and cooling capacities.
- Recording and analyzing the data collected during testing.
The results are reported according to ISO 11202:2017 guidelines, providing detailed information on sound power levels across various operational conditions. This ensures that manufacturers have reliable data for product development and marketing purposes.
