Andy, ISO 7779 and ANSI S12.10 are two standards that I use for the test procedures/methods for acoustic measurements for ITE type equipment.
I have been using a Swedish standard (The Swedish Agency for Administrative Development, Statskontoret's Technical Standard 26:2) and various vendor internal standards for the "acoustic limits" and "declaration of emissions values". Also, on the ISO web site, I found "ISO 3740:1980 Acoustics -- Determination of sound power levels of noise sources -- Guidelines for the use of basic standards and for the preparation of noise test codes." Maybe some of these documents will prove helpful to you.

Could anyone please post any information regarding any existing standards (IEC, UL, EN, even OSHA)? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Andy Garcia Coulter Corp.
