NZS 6802:2008
Acoustics - Environmental noise
Sets out procedures for the assessment of noise for compliance with noise limits, and provides guidance for the setting of noise limits for consent conditions, rules or national environmental standards. Assessment is based on a rating level which can be derived from simple and detailed assessment methods. These expand the methods used in the 1999 edition. Guidelines for setting noise limits and writing consent conditions have been revised, and guidelines for protection of health and amenity expanded to address common planning issues.
