These values mark the upper limit of the sound power level of the sound source. In the frequency bands > 2 Hz the differences between the sound source and the background noise are < 4 db and are not displayed. HSLU T&A, Prüfstelle HLK / HP-62 / 26-6-2 / Kep Seite 6 von 9

Concluding remark For the air inlet at the air distribution box the flow noises at volume flows < 41 m3/h would have been interesting. But it is not possible to measure the sound power levels at these volume flows with the current measuring installation. The measured results apply solely to the unit submitted for testing. Electronically recorded data will be stored for the duration of 3 years. The test report and any associated documents will be archived at the testing laboratory HVAC for the duration of years. During this time the client may inspect these documents in situ. The costs of providing any copies that may be required will be charged to the client.
