Industrial Noise & Illumination Audits

Calibrated Class-1 Sound Level Meter surveys, 24-hour ambient noise mapping (Noise Pollution Rules 2000), DG set canopy acoustic validation, and workplace Lux illumination audits under the Factories Act 1948.

Class 1 Sound Level Meters

Noise Pollution Rules 2000

Ambient Noise Level Surveys (Noise Pollution Rules 2000)

Continuous Day-Time (06:00 to 22:00) and Night-Time (22:00 to 06:00) Equivalent Sound Level (Leq) monitoring for industrial, commercial, residential, and silence zones.

Area Category / ZoneDay Time Limit (Leq dB(A))Night Time Limit (Leq dB(A))Standard Applied
Industrial Zone75 dB(A)70 dB(A)Noise Rules 2000 / CPCB
Commercial Zone65 dB(A)55 dB(A)Noise Rules 2000 / CPCB
Residential Zone55 dB(A)45 dB(A)Noise Rules 2000 / CPCB

CPCB DG Set Boundary Norms

DG Set Acoustic Noise Boundary Audits

Verification of DG set acoustic enclosure insertion loss to ensure noise output does not exceed 75 dB(A) at 1 meter from the acoustic enclosure surface as mandated by CPCB guidelines.

1-Meter Acoustic Enclosure Measurement

Sound pressure level measured at 4 cardinal points 1 meter away from the canopy surface at 1.5 meters height under 75-100% generator load.

Insertion Loss Validation

Calculates dB(A) sound attenuation achieved by the acoustic enclosure (minimum 25 dB(A) insertion loss requirement).

Factories Act 1948 Standards

Workplace Illumination (Lux Meter) Audits

Illumination surveys measuring Lux levels across manufacturing shops, quality inspection benches, control rooms, warehouses, and office workstations under IS 6665 & Factories Act 1948.

8-Hour Time-Weighted Average

Occupational Noise Exposure Mapping

Personal 8-hour noise dosimetry for high-noise areas (compressor rooms, turbine halls, stamping presses) to ensure worker exposure does not exceed 90 dB(A) TWA (Time Weighted Average) to prevent hearing conservation violations.
