Authority
This publication was approved by the AMCA International membership on 13 February 2005 and became effective
on 1 March 2005. It is not the intent of the committee to require currently licensed product line catalogs to be
changed based on the editorial changes made in this revision. New catalogs and catalogs in their normal cycle of
product line catalog revision will be required to update.
The May 2007 revision was approved by the AMCA International membership on 6 May, 2007 and became
effective on 1 June, 2007. This revision introduces a new sone rating called spherical sones, differentiating from
the traditional sone rating (now referred to as hemispherical sones), and adds Annex B to provide the method of
calculating and presenting spherical sones.
