Certification of Sound Level Meter (Not calibration)

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on finding certification services for Sound Level Meters to meet IEC 61672 standards, distinct from calibration. Richard Amster seeks recommendations for certification providers and receives a suggestion to contact Dekra Certification Inc. Another participant mentions having their meter certified at PCE Instruments. There is also a suggestion that purchasing a new meter might be more cost-effective than certifying an existing one, especially for lower-value equipment. The conversation highlights the importance of proper certification for sound measurement instruments.

Hi,

I would like to know if anyone knows where can I find people who do certification of Sound Level Meter (Not calibration).

I need to certify my Sound Level Meter to IEC 61672.

Please provide details if you know who can do it.

Thank you.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
