NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (First Revision) which is identical with ISO 2922 : 2000 ‘Acoustics - Measurement of airborne sound emitted by vessels on inland waterways and harbours’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Inland Harbour Crafts and Fishing Vessels Sectional Committee and approval of the Transport Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1998. In this revision, conditions for obtaining measurement results of the airborne sound emitted by vessels, have been made exhaustive and elaborative.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be read as ‘Indian Standard’.

b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker in the International Standard while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
