This International Standard describes a method for determining at the operator's position the noise emitted by earth-moving machinery, in terms of the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level, while the machine is operating under dynamic test conditions.
This International Standard is applicable to the following specific crawler and wheeled types of earth-moving machinery:
— excavators (hydraulic or rope-operated) (see figure 1),
— tractors with dozer equipment (see figure2).
— loaders (see figure 3), and
— backhoe loaders (also known as excavator-loaders) (see figure 4).
