Foreword
GB/T 4214 “Test method for noise of household and similar electrical appliances”
consists of several parts. Part 1 is the general requirements. Other parts are
particular requirements.
This Part is Part 1 of GB/T 4214.
This Part is drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Part replaces GB/T 4214.1-2000 “Acoustics - Household and similar
electrical appliances - Test code for determination of airborne acoustical noise
- Part 1: General requirements”. As compared with GB/T 4214.1-2000, in
addition to editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows:
- For Clause 1 Scope, modify the scope of the appliance not applicable;
- ADD the term and definition of 3.10;
- ADD instructions for testing the parts of household appliances, including
loading and testing enveloping surface, etc. (See 6.2.5, 6.4.1, 7.1.4);
- Propose the test method for frequency-conversion household appliances
(See 6.4.1);
- Describe the installation of wall-mounted appliances in detail (See 6.5.4,
7.1.2);
- For the test of wall built-in appliance, GIVE a detailed description of the test
method and the test enclosure (See 6.5.5, Annex B);
- For the selection of hemispherical enveloping surface, MAKE a division and
description. The radius is not limited to 1.5 m and 2 m. For small appliances
and household appliance parts etc., a test radius of 1 m can be used (See
7.1.4);
- ADD a test method for the operational noise of non-stationary appliances
(See 7.4.1);
- Modify the provisions for corrected value of background noise (See 8.2).
This Part uses redraft law to modify and adopt IEC 60704-1:2010 (Edition 3.0)
“Household and similar electrical appliances - Test code for the determination
of airborne acoustical noise - Part 1: General requirements”.
As compared with IEC 60704-1:2010, the main technical differences in this Part
and their reasons are as follows:
- About normative references, this Part has made adjustments with technical
differences, to adapt to the technical conditions of China. The adjustments
are reflected in Clause 2 “Normative references”, as follows:
 Replace IEC 61260:1995 with GB/T 3241-2010 which modifies and
adopts the international standard;
 Replace ISO 3744:1994 with GB/T 3767-1996 which is not equivalent
to the international standard.
- For Clause 1 Scope, modify the scope of the appliance not applicable.
Reason: Household and similar air conditioners are covered by this
Standard.
- ADD the term and definition of 3.10. Reason: This term appears in 7.4.1.
- ADD instructions for testing the parts of household appliances, including
loading and testing enveloping surface, etc. (6.2.5, 6.4.1, 7.1.4). Reason:
Define the test method for parts of household appliances.
- Propose the test method for frequency-conversion household appliances
(6.4.1). Reason: Define the test method for frequency-conversion
household appliances.
- Describe the installation of wall-mounted appliances in detail (7.1.2).
Reason: Define the installation of wall-mounted appliances.
- For the selection of hemispherical enveloping surface, MAKE a division and
description. The radius is not limited to 1.5 m and 2 m. For small appliances
and household appliance parts etc., a test radius of 1 m can be used (7.1.4).
Reason: Define the method of selecting a hemispherical enveloping surface.
- ADD a test method for the operational noise of non-stationary appliances
(7.4.1). Reason: Define the test method for the operational noise of non-
stationary appliances.
- CORRECT the mis-presentation of the comparison-method calculation
formula in 8.5. Reason: Corrigendum.
- Delete Annex C. Reason: This Standard does not use the contents of Annex
C.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document
