I always thought it was the job of the QP detector to ignore "brief isolated high readings". No?

The emission does not exceed the limit more than once in any >15 second observation period.? That's probably reasonable. But I think that specific numbers are always going to be controversial. I'd prefer guidance in a Note, covering duration, average occurrence rate AND level. Maybe the sum of 20*log(duration in seconds) and level above the limit in dB could be specified. Zero looks attractive for a guidance figure. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. Try www.jmwa.demon.co.uk and www.isce.org.uk Things can always get better. But that's not the only option.
