Tech/Engineering - Environment & Ecology / ergonomics / risk factors
English term or phrase: dBA
Es geht um einen Fragebogen eines weltweit tätigen US-Chemieunternehmens für eine Prüfung/Selbsteinschätzung zum "Hearing Conservation Standard" (habe ich mit "Gehörschutz-Standard" übersetzt.

"Global Requirement 1: A hearing conservation risk management program shall be established based on the outcome of qualitative and quantitative risk assessments (see Risk Assessment Standard) and as a minimum is required where average area/task noise levels meet or exceed 85 ***dBA***."

Der Bezug auf den Grenzwert 85 ***dBA*** kommt in dem Text wiederholt vor.

Ich kenne Dezibel (dB) als Messgröße für Lärmbelästigungen. Muss ich dBA in dB umrechnen und nach welcher Formel?
