2. Machine acoustic specifications
European Directive 89/392/EC (published in 1989, then amended and renumbered 98/37/EC in 1998) is a major "new approach" directive, known as the "Machinery" Directive.
Three families of standards, known as "type A", "type B" and "type C", have been developed to accompany this directive. Type A standards cover the basic concepts of machine safety. Type B standards cover horizontal topics relating to machine safety, such as noise emission measurement. Type C standards deal with technical safety aspects specific to a given family of machines; these are the most numerous.
2.1 Essential noise requirements of the Machinery Directive
Noise is a source of risk on virtually all machines. The directive lays down two essential requirements concerning...

The standard is the result of a consensual process and in-depth reflection by the experts involved.
There are four main types of standards:
fundamental standards ;
specification standards, which set product characteristics and performance thresholds;
