Folks,
Can anyone cite a reference document / standard that determines if there is
a minimum dBA sound level variation above an expected ambient environment
that is suitable for a pulsing alarm.
In my review , I have found that SEMI S2-0200E Environmental, Health, and
Safety Guideline
for Semiconductor Manufacturing Equipment states in Para. 27.1
".......Equipment should be designed to
control exposures to sound pressure levels equal to or greater than sound
pressure levels equal to or greater
than 80 dBA continuous or intermittent sound pressure level, and 120 dB
instantaneous (impulse) sound pressure level."
Further, 29 CFR 1910.95 " Occupational noise exposure" states "
............ 2.) If the variations in noise level involve maxima at
intervals of 1 second or less, it is to be considered continuous. " Are
there any industry standards that recommends a pulse level variation?
Your input on this subject is greatly appreciated.
