Title: Acoustics. Measurement of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements. Field measurements of airborne sound insulation between rooms
Abstract: Applies to sound insulation within a pair of rooms. Determines the steady state 1/3 octave band filtered white noise level difference and the receiving room equivalent absorption area from which the standardized level difference is derived. The results can be used to determine whether building elements have met acoustic specifications, e.g. Building Regulations.

Title: Acoustics. Measurement of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements. Field measurements of airborne sound insulation of facade elements and facades
Abstract: Applies to the sound insulation of a building facade with respect to external noise such as traffic noise. The sound source for the steady state 1/3 octave band filtered level difference can be either the existing traffic noise or noise from a loudspeaker. The results, expressed as either sound reduction index or standardized level difference can be used to determine whether facades have met acoustic specifications. Method mainly intended to measure noise reduction efficiency of double glazing.

Title: Acoustics. Measurement of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements. Laboratory measurements of impact sound insulation of floors
Abstract: Measures impact noise transmissions through floors using a standardized tapping machine. The steady state 1/3 octave band filtered receiving room sound pressure level is measured while the impact sound is tapping on the test floor. Determines the receiving room equivalent absorption area and derives the normalized impact sound pressure level. The results can be used for design and comparison of floors.

Abstract: Measures the impact sound insulation between a pair of rooms. The steady state 1/3 octave band filtered receiving room sound pressure level is measured while a standardized tapping machine is hammering on the test floor. Determines the receiving room equivalent absorption area and derives the normalized/standardized impact sound pressure level. The results can be used to determine whether floors have met acoustic specifications, e.g. Building Regulations.
