Advisory and evaluation support product development from concept and prototype stages through testing and validation. This includes material selection and testing of material noise properties, acoustic and vibration-related design, sound design, optimisation of sound quality and troubleshooting of noise and vibration issues during development.
Acoustics, noise and vibration
Machine noise and vibration testing, measurement and documentation
Get advisory, testing and documentation of machinery noise, acoustics and vibration across the full development process, including measurements for CE marking under applicable requirements.
Manufacturers, machinery suppliers, contractors and industrial operators require reliable data on noise and vibration from concept and prototype stages through testing, certification and operation. Without documented acoustic performance and regulatory requirements, organisations face uncertainty in design decisions, delays in CE marking and issues that can lead to unstable operation, poor working environments or production disturbances.
Documented acoustic performance
The service covers advisory, evaluation and documentation across acoustics, noise and vibration throughout development, including material selection and testing of material noise properties, acoustic design, sound design and optimisation of sound quality.
Challenges
When noise, acoustics and vibration are not analysed across development and operation, uncertainty in design, compliance and operation leads to delays or unstable conditions.
Production and working environment impact
Unresolved vibration and noise issues can lead to poor operating conditions, increased noise levels and working environment problems affecting operators and production stability.
Compliance with working environment requirements
When hand-arm and whole-body vibration are not measured and documented in accordance with authority requirements, compliance with working environment regulations cannot be assessed.
External vibration and building impact
Vibration from machinery, construction or infrastructure can affect buildings and surroundings, including low-frequency noise, creating uncertainty about compliance, impacts and risks.
Benefits
Receive documented noise and vibration data that supports technical assessments, regulatory documentation and evaluation of machinery behaviour
Documented basis for noise reduction
Noise mapping and analysis provide a prioritised overview of dominant sub-sources, forming a concrete basis for selecting and implementing noise-reduction measures.
Extended documentation scope
Documentation includes multiple types of noise declarations and operator position measurements, supporting different documentation requirements and use cases.
