The method specified in GB/T 3767-2016 is applicable to noise sources of any size. When applying GB/T 6881.2-2017 and GB/T 6881.3-2002, care should be taken that the maximum size of the washer-dryers under test fulfils the requirements specified in 1.2 of GB/T 6881.2-2017 and 1.3 of GB/T 6881.3-2002..
1.2 Object
Addition:
Requirements for the declaration of noise emission values are not within the scope of this document.
Note 101: For determining and verifying noise emission values declared in product specifications, see IEC 60704-3.
1.3 Measurement uncertainty
Replacement:
For washer-dryers, the estimated values of standard deviations of sound power levels,
determined in accordance with this document are as indicated in Table 101 and 102.
1.101 Standard deviation for declaration and verification
For the purpose of determining and verifying declared noise emission values for washing and spinning for washer-dryers in accordance with IEC 60704-3, the values indicated in Table 103 apply.
