Acoustics. Field measurement of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements. Impact sound insulation | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This document 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 can approximate to a diffuse field.
