The document describes the noise emission characteristics of presses for closed-tools cutting of sheet metal (punch-presses). It applies to single-stroke operated mechanical, hydraulic and hydromechanical punch-presses of different frame designs, with nominal forces between 16 kN and 6300 kN, as well as continuous-stroke operated punch-presses with nominal forces between 250 kN and 2000 kN and maximumstroke rates of 1500 per minute. The current state of noise reduction at the time of publication is defined.
