FAQ.

Q1. What is the difference between a field calibration vs lab calibration for a sound level meter?

A1. Field calibration are performed using a portable sound calibrator, and the test decibels and frequencies are usually limited to 114dB at 1kHz. Some portable sound calibrators have dual frequencies or/and dual levels. Field calibrations are sometimes referred to as a "bump" test, its purpose is to ensure that the sound level meters or/and noise dosimeters are functioning within the tolerance of the meter at that decibels (dB) level and frequency (Hz).

Calibrations performed at ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration laboratories, usually performed more tests. Depending on the scope and in-house procedures. Most reputable labs would reference the IEC 61672-3 Electroacoustics - Sound Level Meter - Part 3: Periodic Test, which describes procedures for periodic testing of time-weighting, integrating-averaging, and integrating sound level meters that were designed to conform to the class 1 or class 2 specifications of the IEC 61672-1.

Q2. How frequent should I send my noise meter to a calibration laboratory for calibration?
