TI - IQOE – Inventory of existing standards and guidelines relevant to marine bioacoustics
AU - International Quiet Ocean Experiment (IQOE)
AB - This inventory includes a list of standards or other documents relevant to standardization in marine bioacoustics. For a similar inventory of standards relevant to the observation of ocean sound (excluding bioacoustics), see https://iqoe.org/groups/standardization. Documents are listed in the following categories:sound production;sound absorption and scattering;sound reception;soundscapes;effects on marine life (methodology);effects on marine life (metrics, including frequency weighting functions);bioacoustical terminology.The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) explains the relevance of international standardization at its web page ‘Using and referencing ISO and IEC standards to support public policy’, see https://www.iso.org/sites/policy/index.html.The focus is on international standards from ISO1 , IEC2 and national standards relevant to marine bioacoustics. Also considered are documents relevant to standardization in the categories:peer reviewed publications with direct relevance to marine bioacoustical standardization;other publications with direct relevance to marine bioacoustical standardization, including project standards, technical reports and specifications, and non-peer reviewed journal articles;national or international standards in airborne bioacoustics with indirect relevance to marine bioacoustical standardization.If the scope of this inventory were limited to national and international standards, the list would contain two documents. There is only one relevant international standard (terminology, ISO 18405:2017) and one national standard (audiogram for toothed whales, ANSI/ASA S3/SC1.6-2018). Generally, in underwater acoustics and particularly in marine bioacoustics there is a void of standards for measurement, reporting, and interpretation.Most of the documents listed in this inventory are not standards but supporting documents that could be used to develop new standards. Such documents are included as they are considered helpful in guiding the development of a future national or international standard in marine bioacoustics. This inventory also included standards in air bioacoustics - while not directly applicable, these may serve as a model for developing underwater bioacoustics standards. After each standard or guideline is a list of key words indicating its relevance.Some standards or guidelines are relevant to more than one section; therefore, these documents have been included more than once. For each occurrence, the key words may be different because the relevance of the standard or guideline is likely different.
