[Correction to prior note below. German limits are for imission as opposed to emission. It is the total sound pressure as measured at the worker's location. Therefore, it is the employer who is held accountable to provide equipment, drapes, carpet, or whatever that helps meet the limits.]
To my knowledge, Germany is the only country that has an acoustics "law" that affects routine ITE. The German Workplace Law sets limits in the 60+dBA? range for workplaces. OSHA also sets limits, but they begin (as I recall) around 85dBA, and well above routine ITE noise. Where acoustic levels are claimed they are usually measured in accord with ISO 7779 and reported in accord with ISO 9296.
