Certification of Sound Level Meter (Not calibration)

AI Thread 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.
Best Regards,
Richard

Hi Bobbywhy,

Thank you for your reply, I wrote to them to see if they can provide such service.

Anyone else have any other contact please let me know.

Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,
Richard
 
Great! Thanks for letting us know.
 
You may wish to consider simply purchasing a new meter. I know this sounds odd, but I've found the calibration expense on lower value test equipment often exceeds the price of a new piece with certs.

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
