The IEC/PAS 60704-2-15:2008 standard outlines specific specifications for home food waste disposal systems. Electric appliances, such as these disposers, are made for usage in homes and other similar settings. Disposers with automatic program control and those without are both covered by the standard. It applies to disposers that are permanently connected to the sewage and water systems, as well as to the cold water supply and the kitchen sink drain.

The standard specifies specifications for the test code that is used to measure the noise that food waste disposal devices emit in the air. The test environment, measurement processes, and computation techniques must all be specified. The standard also addresses other conditions relating to noise emissions, such as giving the user information and labeling the product.

Notably, the standard incorporates the contents of a corrigendum published in July 2012, guaranteeing that any required updates or corrections have been made.
