When it comes to construction site compliance, environmental monitoring, and community impact management, accuracy is everything. And in the world of acoustic monitoring, not all sound level meters are created equal.
At Control Hire, we offer Class 1 Noise Monitors: the gold standard for precision, compliance, and defensible reporting in Australia’s infrastructure, civil, tunnelling and demolition sectors.
What Is Class 1 Noise Monitoring?
Noise monitors are classified under IEC 61672-1 as either
–Class 1 (precision grade)
–Class 2 (general-purpose).
The difference is significant:
If you’re submitting a Noise and Vibration Management Plan (NVMP) or responding to EPA or council conditions, Class 1 sound level meters are a must.
