ISO 10848 (all parts) specifies measurement methods to characterize the flanking transmission of one
or several building components. This document considers only laboratory measurements.
This part of ISO 10848 specifies measurement methods to be performed in a laboratory to characterize
the acoustic radiation of a building element when mechanically or acoustically excited. The measured
quantities can be used to compare products, or to express a requirement, or as input data for prediction

This document specifies methods for the determination of thermal properties of masonry and masonry products.

EN-ISO 16283-2 specifies procedures to determine the impact sound insulation using sound pressure measurements with an impact source operating on a floor or stairs in a building. These procedures are intended for room volumes in the range from 10 m3 to 250 m3 in the frequency range from 50 Hz to 5 000 Hz. The test results can be used to quantify, assess and compare the impact sound insulation in unfurnished or furnished rooms where the sound field may or may not approximate to a diffuse field.

EN-ISO 5135 establishes general rules for the acoustic testing of air-terminal devices, air-terminal units, dampers and valves used in air diffusion and air distribution systems in order to determine sound power levels as defined in ISO 3741.

This document specifies how to calculate:
— the uncertainty of sound absorption coefficients and equivalent sound absorption areas measured
according to ISO 354;
— the uncertainty of the practical and weighted sound absorption coefficients determined according
to ISO 11654;
— the uncertainty of the object sound absorption coefficient according to ISO 20189; and
— the uncertainty of the single number rating determined according to EN 1793-1.
Furthermore, the use of uncertainties in reporti...view more

This document specifies measurement methods to characterize in the laboratory the acoustic radiation of a building element when it is directly excited by an airborne or structure-borne source. It is applicable to single-leaf and double-leaf elements (see ISO 12354-1:2017 Annex F, F2). The measured quantity can be used as input data for prediction methods, such as ISO 12354-1 and ISO 12354-2, to compare products, or to express a requirement.

This document provides a vocabulary of terms used in the field of thermal insulation that covers
materials, products, components and applications. Some of the terms can have a different meaning
when used in other industries or applications.

This document specifies a laboratory substitution method to determine the insertion loss without flow of ducted, mainly absorbent, circular and rectangular silencers, as well as other duct elements for use in ventilating and air-conditioning systems. NOTE Laboratory measurement procedures for ducted silencers with superimposed flow are described in ISO 7235[5]. This document is applicable to silencers where the design velocity does not exceed 15 m/s. As the method does not include self-generated...view more

This document specifies a laboratory method to facilitate the comparison of furniture ensembles and enclosures with respect to their ability to reduce the speech level of the occupant speaking inside the product. In this method, the sound power level is measured in two scenarios: 1) without the product, and 2) with the product. During scenario 1), the test signal is produced by the sound source in an empty room while the product is absent. During scenario 2), the test signal is produced by the s...view more
