Gives a method to assess the air borne noise of electrical household appliances. Applies to electric room heaters of the storage type having forced convection output. Does not apply to controlled output thermal storage heaters with natural convection, free output thermal storage heaters and permanently installed central storage heating systems or their parts. Covers references, terms and definitions, measurement methods and acoustical environments, instrumentation, operation and location of appliances under test, measurement of noise levels, calculation of sound pressure and sound power levels, information to be recorded and information to be reported.
