Barrie By-law 2006-140, s. 7(2) — Noise By-law

General Description The tolerances specified for the microphone, weighting and amplifier of a Type A Integrating Sound Level Meter are the same as those specified for a General Purpose Sound Level Meter in section 3 of this Publication. The computational portions of the instrument must operate within a net accuracy of ±1 dB for time periods of 20 minutes to one hour over a dynamic range of at least 80 dB with test signals having a crest factor (as defined in IEC 179A) up to 5. An operator activated switch is included to inhibit both the integration and time summation functions.
