(Joint WG of ISO/TC 188 "Small craft" and ISO/TC 43 "Acoustics"/SC 1 "Noise")

for the ISO/TC 188 plenary meeting in Victoria. Canada on 2002-06-13/14

　

　

(1) The result of voting on 1^st ISO/CD 14509/Amendment 1:2000-11-30 about the amendment of the existing ISO 14509 to allow sound measurements on stern drives with integral exhaust systems using a standard craft was positive. Closing date of vote was 2001-03-05. A revised CD has been adopted for publication as DIS. The DIS layout was prepared in August 2001. Its publication is awaited soon. it will also be published as draft european standard prEN ISO 14509/Amendment 1.

　

(2) Document ISO/TC 188 N 552, 1^st ISO/CO 14509-2: 2001-10-25 "Small craft - Measurement of airborne sound emitted by powered recreational craft - Part 2: Sound assessment using reference craft" has been circulated with a deadline of 2002-01-25.

　

The result was circulated as ISO/TC 188 N 583 on 2002-03-15: 11 member bodies have voted in favour, 5 have voted against and 2 abstained. 10 member bodies submitted comments.

　

WG 28 approved substantial changes on the document and recommends the publication of a revised committee draft as a 2^nd ISO/CD for voting. The layout for the 2^nd CD is currently under preparation.

　

Furthermore WG 28 adopted the following resolution:

　

"WG 28 agreed that further sound data should be acquired to validate ISO 14509-2 'Small craft - Airbone sound emitted by powered recreational craft - Part 2: Sound assessment using reference craft'. It hoped that ICOMIA and other boating industry organisations would urge boat builders to provide further data from boat sound tests. Such data will be used only for the working group for validation of the standard and treated confidentially. It was also agreed that more data should be acquired if funding was available for sound tests. It urged the European Commission to approve funding for relevant projects to assist further validation".

　

(3) WG 28 agreed to present a proposal for the revision of existing ISO 14509:2001-11 at the ISO/TC 188 plenary meeting in June 2002 in Canada. ISO/TC 188 shall be requested to start a decision about this new work item proposal by correspondence.

　

The main reason is the implementation of a correct, on for wave height and wind speed because it is very difficult to find a test site which fulfils the very tight requirements. To have a certain correction factor would be very useful particularly for bigger boats.
