Accurate and consistent measurements of airborne sound fulfil a wide range of regulatory, health, safety and commercial needs both within the UK and in support of international trade.

Applications arise in the measurement of environmental and workplace noise; machinery and product noise; hearing protection; audiometry; and in the quality control of acoustical devices.

NPL realises the primary standard for sound pressure in the UK and disseminates this through a range of calibration services for acoustical instrumentation, which provide traceability for the wide range of acoustical measurements that need to be conducted, leading to greater confidence and good practice in measurement.
