Institute of Acoustics to hold one day meeting on 'The measurement and assessment of environmental vibration impact'.
The measurement and assessment of human response to environmental vibration has always been a difficult subject, and most practitioners have referred to British Standard BS6472 : 1992 for guidance on measurements and interpretation This standard has been in revision for some years, and a draft for public comment was issued in August last year

The Institute of Acoustics will be holding two workshops on the consultation on proposals for transposition and implementation of the Environmental Noise Directive.
Latest developments in noise research
The latest developments in Noise research will be discussed at a meeting on 24 May organised by the The Institute of Acoustics' Environmental Noise Group in conjunction with DEFRA.
Now in two parts (split between blast-induced vibration and other sources), the proposed new standard uses new frequency weightings and assessment methods more in line with current research.
The Institute of Acoustics will hold a one day meeting on 13 March 2007, organised by the Measurement and Instrumentation Group of the IOA to discuss the latest revisions to the standard and current measurement projects.
This meeting, to be held at the Society of Chemical Industry, London, is a prime opportunity for consultants, environmental health practitioners, planners and instrumentation manufacturers to update themselves with the latest thinking, as the draft should become a standard by the time of the meeting.
Speakers are drawn from members of the standards committee, from contractors involved in current DEFRA projects, and experienced consultants in the field of environmental vibration. Request a free brochure from Institute of Acoustics ...
The meeting will also provide an excellent occasion to network with all the key movers and shakers in the industry, and early booking is advised! Further details and the programme can be obtained from the IOA website.
