Describes instruments (sound level meters) for the measurement of certain frequency and time weighted sound pressure levels. Gives the following characteristics of sound level meters: - directional characteristics; - frequency weighting characteristics; - time weighting, detector and indicator characteristics; - sensitivity to various environments.

Specifies requirements for sound level meters with respect to their immunity to power- and radio-frequency fields and to electrostatic discharge, and the permitted radio-frequency emissions, together with test procedures to demonstrate conformance to the specifications of this standard.
