Review of Australian Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Australian Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the issue of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and any amendments thereto.

Full details of all Australian Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards Australia Catalogue of Publications; this information is supplemented each month by the magazine 'The Australian Standard', which subscribing members receive, and which gives details of new publications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.

Suggestions for improvements to Australian Standards, addressed to the head office of Standards Australia, are welcomed. Notification of any inaccuracy or ambiguity found in an Australian Standard should be made without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action taken.

This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 95368.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand Committee AV/5 on Acoustics, Community Noise, to supersede AS 1055.3—1989, Acoustics—Description and measurement of environmental noise, Part 3: Acquisition of data pertinent to land use. This Standard is based on ISO 1996-2:1987, Acoustic—Description and measurement of environmental noise—Part 2: Acquisition of data pertinent to land use. This Standard is a result of a consensus among representatives on the Joint Committee to produce it as an Australian Standard. New Zealand has proceeded with a separate review of its environmental noise Standard NZS 6802:1991.

It is Part 3 in a series of Standards on the measurement and assessment of environmental noise. The objective of this Part is to deal with acquisition of data pertinent to land use, i.e. it provides methods for acquisition of data for describing environmental noise. Using these data, authorities may establish a system for selecting which kind of land use is appropriate, as far as levels of noise are concerned, for a specified area, or which noise sources—existing or planned—are acceptable with respect to land use, existing or planned.

This Standard is not a regulatory document and users should ascertain, from the relevant regulatory authority, details of specific requirements laid down in each State or Territory.

The term ‘informative’ has been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which it applies. An ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and guidance.
