The reasons for development and substantive provisions of Russian standard GOST R 53695-2009 “Noise. Method for determination of noise emission data of construction sites” are presented. The concept of the noise emission characteristics of a construction site and the method of their determination are entered. Various kinds of civil work, construction site location, environment acoustic conditions, and feature of a landscape are taken into account. Instead of noise of separate sources operating inside a construction site noise of the construction site as a whole sound source is considered. The mean time averaged and maximum values of A-weighted sound pressure levels along the sides of a construction site are taken as its noise emission data. Sound reflection from the barriers located near to a construction site is considered by means of environmental correction for which determination the special method was developed. Procedures of determination of measurement uncertainty, the noise characteristics declared values which are brought in construction site specifications and accuracy degree of the method to be applied are considered.
