The dBadge is an integrating noise dosemeter, also known as a Personal Sound Exposure Meter or PSEM. It is essential that such a dosimeter meets the correct UK, European and international standards. Although these standards are based on the sound level meter standards (IEC 61672, ANSI S1.4 and ANSI 1.43), it is important that a dosemeter meets the standards below, which are specifically for noise dosemeters.
IEC 61252 Personal Sound Exposure Meters
ANSI S1.25 Personal Noise Dosimeters
The specifications below are for the Standard, Lite and Plus versions of the dBadge unless otherwise marked. For information about the additional standards met by the I.S. dBadge, please visit the Intrinsically Safe Noise Dosimeter page.
