Acoustics. Specification of test tracks for measuring noise emitted by road vehicles and their tyres. | Status: Superseded, Withdrawn

1 Scope This International Standard specifies the essential characteristics of a test surface intended to be used for measuring vehicle and tyre or road noise emissions. The surface design given in this International Standard

• — produces consistent levels of tyre or road sound emission under a wide range of operating conditions including those appropriate to vehicle sound testing,
• — minimizes inter-site variation,
• — provides minor absorption of the vehicle sound sources, and
• — is consistent with road-building practice.

NOTE For the purposes of this International Standard, the terms noise and sound are used interchangeably.
