“Why Class 1 Certification Matters: A Guide to Sound Level Meter Standards and Pattern Approval”
When selecting a sound level meter, many professionals focus on the Class 1 designation. However, not all Class 1 instruments provide the same level of confidence when measurements are used for regulatory compliance, environmental assessments, occupational noise evaluations, or legal proceedings.
This new guide explains the role of independent pattern approval and how it differs from a manufacturer’s declaration of conformity. It also discusses why certification is often a key requirement wherever measurement results must withstand external scrutiny.
In the article, you will learn:
Whether you are an acoustic consultant, environmental specialist, occupational hygienist, or noise monitoring professional, understanding certification requirements is essential for selecting the right measurement equipment.
Read the full article in SVANTEK Academy and learn why certification matters whenever accuracy, compliance, and trust are critical.
SVANTEK proudly announces that the SV 102A+ Class 1 Dual-Channel Noise Dosimeter has become part of the Artemis II mission environment โ making it the most distant sound level meter ever deployed from Earth.
Artemis II is NASAโs first crewed mission around the Moon in more than 50 years and a historic milestone in deep-space exploration. During the mission, astronauts traveled 248,655 miles from Earth, surpassing the previous human-distance record set by Apollo 13 in 1970.
In such demanding environments, monitoring acoustic conditions and astronaut noise exposure plays a critical role in mission safety, communication, and crew comfort. Chosen for its Class 1 accuracy, compact design, and advanced data logging capabilities, the SV 102A+ represents professional acoustic measurement technology trusted even in space-related applications.
The instrument offers dual-channel operation, audio recording, and long-term monitoring performance in a compact wearable form, making it suitable for advanced occupational and research applications where reliability is essential.
The presence of SVANTEK technology within the Artemis II mission environment highlights the growing importance of reliable acoustic monitoring not only on Earth, but also during the next generation of human space missions. This marks another space-related mission involving SVANTEK instruments in cooperation with international space agencies, further confirming the reliability, precision, and trust placed in SVANTEK measurement solutions for the most demanding applications.
