STANAG 4293
STANAG 4293 acoustical environment in NATO surface ships
Shipbuilders, equipment suppliers and navies concerned with noise levels for crews on NATO surface ships.
STANAG 4293 is NATO's unreleased agreement on the acoustical environment in NATO surface ships. This page describes it from AMedP-4.15, a public NATO publication that cites its noise-level framework.

NATO has not released this STANAG publicly. It is NATO UNCLASSIFIED, and organisations that need it obtain it through their national standardization authority.
What it is
STANAG 4293 is the NATO Standardization Agreement "Guidelines for the acoustical environment in NATO surface ships". Edition 1 was promulgated in June 1990, sponsored by CNAD, AC/141 NNAG, SDCG. NATO has not released STANAG 4293 publicly, so this page describes it from a public NATO publication that cites it.
Where it is cited
That publication is AMedP-4.15. It states that, according to STANAG 4293, "expectations defined by Maximum Noise Levels (MNL), Noise Rating Curves (NRC) and Speech Interference Levels (SIL) should be fulfilled". It describes Maximum Noise Levels as "the noise level normally acceptable within a space or a compartment", generated both from outside and from inside permanently installed equipment.
AMedP-4.15 names STANAG 4293, together with IMO MSC.337(91), "Code on Noise Levels on Board Ships", and Chapter 1 of ANEP-25, "Guidelines for environmental factors in NATO surface ships", as where detailed information on noise stress is found. It also names STANAG 4293, with IMO MSC.337(91) and AJMedP-4-8 "Protection of Hearing" of STANAG 2561, for detailed information on hearing protection, and lists STANAG 4293 in its bibliography.

Three partners, three Member States, one evidence base
The EDF consortium rule is usually quoted as three entities from three Member States. It has a second limb about control that the word independent quietly hides, and two exceptions that disapply it entirely.
