"Sound pressure in dB(A) calculated at 10 m, in a free field on a reflecting surface, is given as a guide only and with a directibility of +/- 3 dBA."

directivity (factor)
I think it is "directivity" that is meant

: why would directivity be measured in +/-?//If they did mean "directivity" then they are definitely wrong using +/-: http://www.record-producer.com/learn.cfm?a=2704

Oh, you seem right that I'm wrong :(

: I rather felt the same, and the variation of +/- 3 dB would be logical enough

Looks like it to me. The sound pressure calculated at 10m is only an estimate; the real pressures is + or - 3dBA of that estimate.
