Webinar on International Standardization in Underwater Acoustics

International standardization in underwater acoustics began in 2011 with the creation of the Underwater Acoustics Sub-Committee of the Acoustics Technical Committee of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Four international standards have been published to date on subjects as diverse as vessel underwater radiated noise (URN) measurement, pile driving and underwater acoustical terminology, and SATURN is contributing to the development of two new standards, one for measurement of URN in shallow water, and one on bioacoustical terminology.  

As part of this webinar, we had presentations from the following speakers:  

• Kathrin Kopke (MaREI, UCC) - Welcome and Introduction

• Michael Ainslie (JASCO) - Standardization in Underwater Acoustics

• Christ de Jong (TNO)  - URN Measurement Standards

• Michele Halvorsen (JASCO) - Bioacoustical Standards

• Stephen Robinson (NPL UK) - Future Developments in ISO and IEC
