Noise-test code for truck mixers

B.l Scope
This noise-test code defines all necessary information to carry out efficiently and under standardized
conditions the determination, declaration and verification of the noise-emission characteristics of truck
mixers.
Noise-emission characteristics include the emission sound pressure level at the work station and the
sound-power level.
The determination of those quantities is necessary for:

a) manufacturers to declare the noise emitted;

b) purposes of noise control at the source at the design stage;

c) the comparison of truck mixers on the market.

The use of this noise-test code ensures reproducibility of the determination of the noise-emission
characteristics within specified limits determined by the grade of accuracy of the basic noise-
measurement method used. Noise-measurement methods allowed by this standard are engineering
methods (grade 2).
This document specifies noise-measurement methods, installation/mounting and operation conditions
that shall be used for the test.

B.2 Determination of the A-weighted sound-power level

B.2.1 General
The determination of the A-weighted sound-power level shall be made according to EN ISO 3744:2010.

The uncertainty due to reproducibility of the measurement method used as applied to the machines
covered by this standard is 3 dB (grade 2 "engineering"].
NOTE 1 If a manufacturer has evidence that in his measurements, the uncertainty is lower than 3 dB, he may use
his own value for the purpose of the noise declaration.

NOTE 2 Detailed information about the determination of the uncertainty is given in EN ISO 11201:2010,
Clause 11 (see also EN ISO 4871:2009],

This is the expanded measurement uncertainty as defined in EN ISO 3744:2010, Clause 9. The total
uncertainty may be larger if the sound emission of the machine is unstable (see EN ISO 3744:2010,
Clause 9 and H.2).
B.2.2 Measurement surface and microphone positions
Measurement surface and microphone positions shall be in accordance with EN ISO 3744:2010.
Due to the same type of design of truck mixers and the resulting same location of the main sound sources,
the hemispherical measurement surface method shall be used.

34
 prEN 12609:2017 (E)

B.3 Determination of the A-weighted emission sound pressure level at work

stations
B.3.1 General
The A-weighted emission sound pressure levels shall be determined in accordance to EN ISO 11201:2010
with grade-2 accuracy. The measurement shall be taken in absence of the operator.
The uncertainty due to reproducibility of the measurement methods used as applied to the machines
covered by this standard is 3 dB (grade 2 "engineering").
NOTE 1 If a manufacturer has evidence that in his measurements, the uncertainty is lower than 3 dB, he may use
his own value for the purpose of the noise declaration.

NOTE 2 Detailed information about the determination of the uncertainty is given in EN ISO 3744:2010, Clause 9,
and EN ISO 3746:2010, Clause 9. See also EN ISO 4871:2009.

This is the expanded measurement uncertainty as defined in EN ISO 11201:2010, Clause 11.

B.3.2 Machine with defined work stations

The work station is at the rear of the truck; the measurement points shall be at the work station at a
height of 1,60 m from the floor and in a distance of 1,00 m from the surface of the machine.
Even if the machine is remote-controlled, the measurement point is located parallel to the longitudinal
axis of the truck mixer at the work station at the rear of the truck mixer.

B.4 Operating conditions

B.4.1 Operating conditions during test under load
The truck mixer shall be tested in a stationary position. The mixer drum is filled up to its rated capacity
with concrete or sand (3 mm size) with a consistency of S3 or F3 according to EN 206:2013+A1:2016.

Using sand is recommended to produce the same drive power as concrete.

The engine driving the drum shall operate at the speed that causes the maximum speed of the drum
specified in the instructions supplied to the purchaser.

B.4.2 Period of observation

The period of observation shall at least be 15 seconds.

B.4.3 Fan speed

If the engine of the machine or its hydraulic system is fitted with fan(s), they shall operate during the test.
The fan speed shall be in accordance with one of the following conditions, stated and set by the
manufacturer of the machine.

a) Fan drive directly connected to the engine

If the fan drive is directly connected to the engine and/or hydraulic equipment (e.g. by belt drive), it
shall operate during the test.

b) Fan drive with several distinct speeds

If the fan can work at several distinct speeds, the test shall be carried out

1) either at the maximum working speed of the fan or

35
prEN 12609:2017 (E)

2] in a first test with the fan set at zero speed and in a second test with the fan set at maximum
working speed; the resulting time-averaged A-weighted sound pressure level, LpA, T, shall then
be calculated by combining both test results using Formula [1):

LpA T = 10 lg (o,3 x 100'1 lpA' 0% + 0,7 x 10OJ LpK100% )dB

where

LPA,O % is the time-averaged A-weighted sound pressure level determined with the fan set at zero
speed;

LpA.ioo% is the time-averaged A-weighted sound pressure level determined with the fan set at
maximum speed.

c) Fan drive with continuously variable speed

If the fan can work at continuous variable speed, the test shall be carried out either in accordance
with B.4.3 b) or with the fan speed set by the manufacturer at no less than 70 % of the maximum
working speed.

d) Machine equipped with more than one fan

All fans shall run at the conditions specified a), b) or c).

B.5 Information to be recorded during the test

The information to be recorded shall be in accordance with EN ISO 3744:2010 and EN ISO 11201:2010.

B.6 Information to be reported

The test report shall be in accordance with EN ISO 3744:2010 and EN ISO 11201:2010.

B.7 Declaration and verification of noise-emission values

The noise declaration shall contain the following information:

a) the A-weighted emission sound pressure levels at the work stations specified in B.3.2;

b) the A-weighted emission sound power level.
