Default RE: Db Testing

Curious that they specify 25 feet as distance for the sound level measurement. I could understand 23 feet, as it would then effectively equal the 7 meter separation that is frequently used in Europe.
The allowable levels are surprising, too. The 98 dBA @ 25 ft limit corrects to 107 dBA @ 9 ft where we usually measure at clubs. That is painfully LOUD, and can cause permanent hearing damage in short order. I wonder if there are any clubs that allow levels that high???
