Description / Abstract: It is recognized that various degrees of precision and accuracy are required in the practical measurement of sounds of various kinds for different purposes. Hence, this standard provides the minimum requirements for three basic types of sound level meters: Types 1, 2. and 3, with performance requirements that become progressively less stringent, proceeding from Type I to Type 3. Further, it is recognized that sound level meters may be desired for special purposes that do not require the complexity of any of the three basic types. Therefore, provision is made for a special purpose sound level meter, Type S. The Type S meter can be qualified to the performance of any of the basic types (I, 2, and 3), but is not required to have all three weighting networks.

Purpose. The purpose of this American National Standard for Sound Level Meters and their calibration is to ensure maximum practical accuracy in any particular sound level meter. and to reduce to the lowest practical minimum any difference in corresponding readings with various makes and models of meters that meet the standard.
