Resumen
Determining reliable noise emission values for machinery is key to successfully implement the Sell and Buy Quiet concept. ISO 11202 is a basic noise emission standard to determine the emission sound pressure level of machines outside of special acoustic test rooms (in situ measurements) and enables machinery manufacturers to determine the noise emission data of their products within their own premises. However, a recent amendment to this standard was made on the basis of an unsatisfactory amount of experimental data. Therefore, this paper systematically examines the validity and accuracy of the amended part of the method. It answers the question, whether the amendment represents an improvement of the existing method. Measurements on a model machine with two configurations allow for an extensive investigation of the effects of the amendment. To that end, the emission sound pressure levels at eight positions near the machine are determined in three different acoustic environments. One finds that the amendment leads to an overestimation of the local environmental correction for the ????A
