Occupational Noise

The most common application for Sound Level Meters is for the measurement of noise levels to ensure compliance with Occupational or Noise at Work limits. Across the EU and in many countries worldwide these regulations require the measurement of Leq and Peak(C). In particular the EU Physical Agents (Noise) Directive specifies the exposure limits for employees over an 8 hour day.

Environmental and Gas Monitoring Ltd can supply a range of Sound Level Meters that have been specifically designed to provide these measurements whilst being simple to use. These instruments are:

CR:110A Series Personal Dosemeter - Standard and ATEX Certified Intrinsically Safe Versions
CR:800C Series Class 1 & Class 2 Data Logging Sound Level Meters with optional 1:1 & 1:3 Octave Band Filters
CR:260 Series Class 1 & Class 2 Sound Level Meters with optional Data Logging & optional 1:1 Octave Band Filters
