I need to read a portion of IEC 60268-21 dealing with SPL testing. But this thing isn't free and I can't afford the $350 price tag.

So, does anyone out there in TV land happen to have access to this spec and can help me out with either getting a copy or a blurb (I believe Chapter 16.4 is what I need but it could be different/more)?

If you can help out, feel free to email me: hardisj at gmail dot com

Thanks,
Erin




Edit: The reason I am asking is because I am working on providing maximum SPL metrics and I would like to adhere to a standard. I am using Klippel's MTON module and in the webinar (link) they state this:
Conditions: Sparse multi-tone stimulus (typical program material) as used for testing maximum output SPLmax (session 5)

Measurements according to IEC 60268-21 chapter 16.4:
1a) Short-term compression at maximum input Umax=0.17 Vusing a stimulus length T=1s after playing the same stimulus in a preloop​
1b) Long-term compression measured at maximum input Umax=0.17V with the same stimulus T=1s after the playing the stimulus 1 min in a preloop + 1 min cooling break (without break)​
2) Search for input voltage u generating a short-term compression C = 3dB​
