2.1 These Guidance Notes have been compiled from Lloyd’s
Register’s experience of measuring, interpreting and assessing
shipboard vibration and noise.
In addition to Lloyd’s Register’s own criteria,
certain existing International or National standards have been used
in assessment of vibration and noise measurements. The proposed assessment
criteria embody the experience gained in the interpretation, adaptation
and extrapolation of these Standards in relation to shipboard conditions.
Reference has also been made to other published information
where applicable. These references and other relevant standards are
listed in
