BS 7445: The Standard for Environmental Noise Measurement
Ensuring Accuracy, Precision, and Compliance
The BS 7445 standard governs the measurement and assessment of environmental noise. It provides a detailed methodology for evaluating the impact of noise on the environment and human health. As experts in environmental noise assessments, we strictly adhere to the guidelines set forth in BS 7445, ensuring that all our measurements and analyses are precise, reliable, and legally defensible.
Key Elements of BS 7445 Compliance inlcude:
Measurement protocols for noise levels in different environments.
Assessment of environmental impact on residential, industrial, and recreational areas.
Use of calibrated instruments and sound level meters for accurate data collection.
Consideration of both short-term and long-term effects of noise on the environment.
By following BS 7445, we help our clients maintain compliance with local planning and regulatory bodies, ultimately promoting sustainable development and minimizing the environmental impact of noise.
