LAeq,8h definition
LAeq,8h means an 8 hour equivalent continuous A‑weighted sound pressure level in decibels (dB(A)) referenced to 20 micropascals, that is to say, the steady noise level which would, in the course of an 8 hour period, cause the same A‑weighted sound energy that would be caused by the actual noise during an actual working day, determined in accordance with AS/NZS 1269.1;

LAeq,8h means an 8 hour equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level in decibels (dB(A) ) referenced to 20 micropascals, that is to say, the steady noise level which would, in the course of an 8 hour period, cause the same A-weighted sound energy that would be caused by the actual noise during an actual working day, determined in accordance with AS/NZS 1269.1;
More Definitions of LAeq,8h
LAeq,8h means the eight hour equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level in decibels, referenced to 20 micropascals, determined in accordance with AS/NZS 1269.1. This is related to the total amount of noise energy a person is exposed to in the course of their working day. It takes account of both the noise level and the length of time the person is exposed to it. An unacceptable risk of hearing loss occurs at LAeq,8h values above 85 dB(A).
