sound pressure level of 85kBA

That's almost as loud as the average pop concert! (;-)

Ron,
 There was an old standard dealing with noise of computer and business 
equipment.  The Swedish Statskontoret Technical Standard 26:2  I do not have 
the up to date version.

To all,

I have been looking into sound pressure/power level requirements emanating from 
equipment such as
ITE and any regulatory limits pertaining to them. Such requirements exist in 
the NEBS environment
(section 4.6 of GR-63).  There are other requirement relating to earpieces, 
such as IEC/EN60950
clause 6.4.3.

Are there any other government/industry guidelines/requirements pertaining to 
equipment sound levels
that relate to the general commercial environment? I know this may be somewhat 
of a broad question,
but I'd like to know the requirements/guidelines that are out there, both here 
in the US and also
internationally.

Any assistance in identifying these requirements/guidelines would be greatly 
appreciated.

Best regards,

Hello Ron,

I know that UL 3101-1 and EN 61010-1 there are requiments for sound and
power pressure, 
in UL 3101-1 --for sound pressure level of 85kBA above a reference sound
pressure of 20uPa as the limit.

Russia has limits for sound levels from ITE.  MSanPiN 001-96, Interstate
sanitary rules and norms, provides these requirements.  Check with your
friendly neighborhood GOST representative for further details.

Ron, OSHA limits apply in the workplace in the US, but those limits are in
place to prevent hearing loss. I am unaware of any other regulatory
requirements in the US. I once asked an European safety agency if our ITE
had to comply with any sound standards in order to be certified and I was
told no.

OSHA has limits; don't know if they apply to your question.  See 29 CFR
