SV 971A Receives PTB Type Approval | Class 1 Sound Level Meter

PTB certification is one of the most prestigious and internationally recognized validations of measurement accuracy and compliance. By meeting the stringent requirements of IEC 61672-1, the SV 971A has demonstrated outstanding performance in terms of frequency response, dynamic range, directional characteristics, and long-term stability under varying environmental conditions.

Why This Matters

Trusted Data Accuracy
Type approval ensures that measurements are reliable, traceable, and repeatable, meeting the highest standards of precision required for professional acoustic assessments.

Regulatory Compliance
In many countries, official environmental and occupational noise measurements must be performed using Class 1 instruments with recognized type approval, such as PTB certification.

International Acceptance
PTB approval is widely recognized across global markets, ensuring that measurement results are accepted in international projects, environmental studies, and compliance reporting.

What This Means for Our Customers

For acoustic consultants, environmental agencies, occupational health and safety professionals, and researchers, this certification provides:

  • Confidence in measurement validity for legal and regulatory use
  • Reduced risk of data rejection in official reporting
  • Assurance of compliance with international standards
  • A reliable tool for demanding field applications

The PTB approval further reinforces SVANTEK’s commitment to delivering high-quality, compliant, and globally trusted measurement solutions.
