(;-) It can be a very difficult task to quantify such things, but instead of specifying exact numbers, an informative Note can give valuable guidance. In this case, you might think that a single high level lasting less than a thousandth of the observation period would be 'brief and isolated', but that's 15 ms duration, which could cause problems. And how high could such a level be? 80 dB over the limit? >or am I left to my own to devices to define it as I see fit? Yes. At your peril, of course. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only.
