Each source of undesirable or harmful sound (machine, device, installation, plant, equipment , mean and transport, technological procedure, electroacoustic and acoustic device for loud broadcasting of music and speech, etc.) can be considered a source of noise.
Noise level measurement, depending on the specific case, is performed as follows:
- fonometar se nalazi na udaljenosti ne manjoj od 2 m, odnosno ne većoj od 3 m od najizloženije fasade kada se mjeri buka na otvorenom iz ugostrteljskih objekata (van objekta),
- fonometar se nalazi na sredini unutrašnjeg prostora (zatvorena vrata i prozori), kada se mjeri buka unutar ugostiteljskog objekta.
- fonometar se nalazi na udaljenosti ne većoj od 3 m od objekta (terase), kada se mjeri buka oa ugostiteljskih objekta na otvorenom (plažni bar. otvoreni šank i drugi privremeni i pokretni objekti),
- fonometar se nalazi na sredini sobe/stambenog prostora (zatvorena vrata i prozori), kada se mjeri buka u/iz ugostiteljskih objekata po inicijativi/pritužbi građana, pri čemu mikrofon mjemog fonometra treba da bude na visini 1,5 m od poda/tla.
Noise measurement procedure should be performed several times during the duration of noise in order to determine the average noise level and obtain exact data that are entered in the record.
INSTALLATION OF SOUND LIMITERS WITH ENVIRONMENTAL NOISE MEASUREMENT
- have sound insulation to ensure that the noise level outside the building does not exceed the prescribed noise limit of 65 dB (A) Laeq;
- that the use of electro-acoustic and / or acoustic devices does not cause noise inside the building above the noise limit values;
- that the volume device on which the music is broadcast has a volume limiter installed.
Limit values of noise levels for all types of catering facilities, the method of measuring noise inside and outside catering facilities, the method of use and conditions that must be met by the volume limiter and volume limiter for mains supply are determined by the Ministry.
Pursuant to Article 15 of the Law on State Administration (“Official Gazette of the Republic of Montenegro”, No. 78/18), the Ministry of Sustainable Development and Tourism, as the competent state administration body in the field of tourism and catering, has issued Instructions for implementing legal measures and actions for protection against noise in / from catering facilities from electroacoustic and / or acoustic devices.
The procedure of installation / installation of limiters on devices through which music is broadcast in the catering facility is performed by an authorized repairer / manufacturer / importer of limiters in the presence of representatives of the State Accredited Noise Measurement Person, responsible person of the caterer and authorized communal inspector.
The municipal inspector is obliged to put an official seal on the installed volume limiter, in order to protect against unauthorized opening, removal or damage (the official stamp is stamped on the wax according to the rule of red color at the ends of the guarantor or seal) or a sign (written notice of prohibition), sealing placed on the limiter, official sticker / sealing tape connected by the guarantor) in accordance with Article 4 paragraph 2 of the Ordinance, which completes the procedure of installing the limiter.
The installation of sound limiters in catering facilities in Montenegro has been in place since June 2019.
