9. The Time Weighted Average is the average of the measured Lave over an eight hour period The TWA will be lower than the Lavs when the measurement duration is less than eight hours equal to the Lava for a measurement of eight hours and higher than the Lavs for measurements over eight hours Dose A percentage of a fixed dose value based on the criterion level and criterion time The criterion level and time are set by local standards For example some Regulations may mandate the use of 85dB for 8 hours as the limit for a daily noise exposure If the noise level was a constant 85dB for 8 hours this would generate a Dose of 100 Estimated Dose Estimates the dose described above that would have been received by the wearer if the average level measured had existed for the period defined by the criterion time For example if for a 4 hour measurement the Dose was 50 the Estimated Dose would be 100 for the 8 hours of the Criterion Time Exposure Pa5s Pathr The noise exposure expressed in linear terms rather than using the logarithmic dB unit or dose Expressed in Pascal squared hours Pahr or Pascal squared seconds Pa5s Estimated Exposure Estimates the exposure described above that would have been received by the wearer if the average level measured had existed for the period defined by the criterion time Expressed in Pascal squared hours Par Lae or SEL Page 56 doseBadge User Manual The level which if
