Sound Level Meters for Occupational, Industrial Hygiene & Noise at Work Measurements

Across the EU and in many countries worldwide these regulations require the measurement of Leq and Peak(C). In particular the EU Physical Agents (Noise) Directive specifies the exposure limits for employees over an 8 hour day.
