>Does anyone know what "brief isolated" could mean

Yes, it means that the committee was asleep at the time. (;-) 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.
