The IEC 60704-3-2:2005 standard is the foundation for the AS/NZS 60704.2.3:2009 standard. This standard specifies how to measure the airborne acoustical noise that dishwashers produce.

The standard intends to enable a uniform and reliable assessment of the noise made by dishwashers, which can be a major concern for customers to take into account when buying these appliances. The AS/NZS 60704.2.3:2009 standard adopts the IEC 60704-3-2:2005 standard and offers a recognized and acknowledged international technique for carrying out such noise tests.

The defined noise emission requirements, which may be set by regulatory agencies or market demands, can be met by manufacturers by complying with this standard. The standard specifies instructions for conducting the testing, including where to set and operate the dishwasher, where to place the measuring devices, and how to determine the noise levels.
