Aside from editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows.
a) Added terms and definitions for "piston-generated sounder," "total distortion plus noise," "inclusion probability," and "acceptance limit" (see Chapter 3);
b) The term "total distortion" has been removed (see Chapter 3 of the.2010 edition);
c) The LS/C, 1/C, and 2/C level identifiers have been removed (see section 5.1.4 of the.2010 version);
d) Two new level identifiers, LS/M and 1/M, have been added (see 5.1.5);
e) Increased the time requirements for maintaining stable sound pressure level and frequency (see 5.1.10);
f) The criteria for compliance with requirements have been changed (see 5.1.15, 5.1.12 in the.2010 version);
g) Added requirements for adapter information (see 5.2);
h) A test method for radio frequency field immunity using transverse electromagnetic waveguides has been added (see 5.9.4.4 and A.7.4.1);
i) The experimental methodology for short-term fluctuations has been modified (see 5.3.3 and A.5.6, 5.2.3 and A.4.4 in the.2010 edition);
j) The requirements for environmental noise have been changed (see A.5.3 and B.4.2, A.4.3.6 and B.3.4.2 in the.2010 edition);
k) The combination of air temperature and relative humidity conditions in the environmental impact test has been changed (see A.6.4.1 and A.6.7.1,.2010 edition).

Introduction
A sound calibrator is a device that, when coupled to a microphone of a specified type and structure (with or without a protective grille), can provide sound for one or more specified...
A device that generates one or more known sound pressure levels at a frequency. Some sound calibrators generate sound pressure levels that are related to static pressure.
The acoustic calibrator has two main uses.
a) Determine the sound pressure sensitivity of the specified microphone model in the specified configuration;
b) Check or adjust the overall sensitivity of the acoustic measuring instrument or system.
Electroacoustic calibrator
1 Scope
This document specifies the performance requirements for three levels of acoustic calibrators. Laboratory Standard (LS), Level 1, and Level 2.LS level acceptance...
The minimum is Class 1, and the maximum is Class 2.Class LS acoustic calibrators are typically used only in laboratories, while Class 1 and Class 2 acoustic calibrators are for field use.
According to IEC 61672-1, Class 1 sound calibrators are mainly used with Class 1 sound level meters, and Class 2 sound calibrators are mainly used with Class 2 sound level meters.
It is designed for use in conjunction with other equipment.
The acceptance limit of the LS-level acoustic calibrator is verified using laboratory standard microphones as specified in GB/T 20441.1-2010.
Compliance with component requirements; the acceptance limits for Class 1 and Class 2 acoustic calibrators are based on the use of the standard microphones specified in GB/T 20441.4-2006.
To verify compliance with the requirements of this document.
To promote consistency and ease of use in acoustic calibrator testing, this document includes three normative appendices.
---Appendix A. Type Evaluation Tests;
---Appendix B Periodic Test;
---Appendix C Type Evaluation Report.
And two informative appendices.
---Appendix D. Relationship between tolerance intervals, corresponding acceptance intervals, and maximum permissible measurement uncertainty;
--- Appendix E. Examples of evaluations of compliance with the requirements of this document.
This document does not include requirements for the equivalent free-field sound pressure level or random incident sound pressure level that can be used to adjust the overall sensitivity of the sound level meter.
Some sound calibrators offer additional features, such as burst sounds; requirements for these features are not included in this document.
