12.1. INTRODUCTION

This chapter contains a listing of relevant International (ISO & IEC) standards,. Home pages onthe internet which contain important noise control information are also listed. The chapterconcludes with collections of noise control case studies, handbooks and periodicals.

ISO or IEC standards are available in all countries from the national member bodies. Wherethere is an equivalent national standard, the member body concerned will probably say so whenasked to supply the ISO or IEC standard.European or EN standards have been adopted generally as national standards of the member

bodies of the European Union and the European Free Trade Association. A great deal of theseEN standards are equivalent to ISO or IEC standards. But a group of EN standards concerningsafety of machinery and containing clauses on noise or EN standards which are noise test codesfor specific machines have an international counterpart only in exceptional cases. From outsideEurope one will get these EN standards from the standards organisations CEN or CENELEC.There are other regional standard organisations shown in the ISO internet homepage.

Numbers in { } give the corresponding chapter.
