This European Standard assigns sound insulation values to all transparent, translucent and opaque glass products, described in the European Standards for basic, special basic or processed glass products, when intended to be used in glazed assemblies in buildings, and which exhibit properties of acoustic protection, either as a prime intention or as a supplementary characteristic.
This document outlines the procedure, by which glass products may be rated, according to their acoustic performance which enables assessment of compliance with the acoustic requirements of buildings.
Rigorous technical analysis of measurement data remains an option, but this standard is intended to enable the derivation of simpler indices of performance, which can be adopted with confidence by non-specialists.
By adopting the principles of this standard the formulation of acoustic requirements in Building Codes and for product specification to satisfy particular needs for glazing is simplified.
It is recognised that the acoustic test procedures contained within EN ISO 140-1 and EN ISO 140-3 relate only to glass panes and their combinations. Although the same principles should be followed as closely as possible, it is inevitable that some compromises are necessary, because of the bulkier construction of other glazing types, e.g. glass blocks, paver units, channel-shaped glass, structural glazing and structural sealant glazing. Guidelines on how to adapt the test procedures for these glazing types are offered in Clause 4.
All the considerations of this standard relate to panes of glass/glazing alone. Incorporation of them into windows may cause changes in acoustic performance as a result of other influences, e.g. frame design, frame material, glazing material/method, mounting method, air tightness, etc. Measurements of the sound insulation of complete windows (glass and frame) may be undertaken to resolve such issues.

This document describes calculation models to estimate the sound pressure level in buildings due to service equipment. As for the field measurement documents (EN ISO 16032 for the engineering method and EN ISO 10052 for the survey method), it covers sanitary installations, mechanical ventilation, heating and cooling, service equipment, lifts, rubbish chutes, boilers, blowers, pumps and other auxiliary service equipment, and motor driven car park doors, but can also be applied to others equipment attached to or installed in buildings. The estimation is generally based on measured data that characterizes both the equipment (source) and the sound transmission through the building. The same equipment can be composed of different airborne and/or structure borne sources at different locations in the building; the standard gives some information on these sources and how they can be characterized; however, models of the equipment itself are out of the scope of this standard.
This document describes the principles of the calculation models, lists the relevant input and output quantities and defines its applications and restrictions. The models given are applicable to calculations in frequency bands. It is intended for acoustical experts and provides the framework for the development of application documents and tools for other users in the field of building construction, considering local circumstances.
The calculation models described use the most general approach for engineering purposes, with a link to measurable input quantities that specify the performance of building elements and equipment. However, it is important for users to be aware that other calculation models also exist, each with their own applicability and restrictions.
The models are based on experience with predictions for dwellings and offices; they could also be used for other types of buildings provided the dimensions of constructions are not too different from those in dwellings.

This document describes a set of procedures for using existing standardized CEN or ISO test and calculation methods to determine the thermal performance of reflective insulation products. This document supports and does not replace existing CEN or ISO test methods.
This document applies to any thermal insulation product that derives a proportion of its claimed thermal properties from the presence of one or more reflective or low emissivity surfaces together with any associated airspace(s). It does not replace the existing procedures for the determination of the thermal performance of products already covered by an existing harmonized product standard where the declared value of these products does not specifically include any claims attributable to the emissivity of the facing. It does not, and cannot, give an in-use or design value of thermal performance, but provides standardized information from which these can be determined.

This document provides a transparent framework for reporting on the choices related to the procedure to determine primary energy factors (PEFs) and CO2 emission coefficients for energy delivered to and exported from the buildings as described in ISO 52000-1. It does not include considerations on other topics, e.g. nuclear waste, atmospheric particulate matter, deforestation, food and bioenergy competition, depletion of raw material resources, depletion of the soil. This document specifies the choices to be made to calculate the PEFs and CO2 emission coefficients related to different energy carriers. PEFs and CO2 emission coefficients for exported energy can be different from those chosen for delivered energy. This document is primarily intended for supporting and complementing ISO 52000-1 as the latter requires values for the PEFs and CO2 emission coefficients to complete the EPB calculation, however it can also be used for other applications.

This Technical Specification gives guidelines on methods for assessing and mitigating the risk of crime and/ or fear of crime/feelings of insecurity and measures, procedures and processes aimed at reducing these risks. Nowadays crime also includes terrorism (e.g. ram raiding attacks on soft targets in public places) and other new types of crimes (or modus operandi). Also new assessment methods are available (Intelligence-led Approaches, Predictive Policing) and last but not least new approaches to design are
available (Design Thinking, Systems Engineering Approaches, etc.).
Using social science methods and innovation tools from the design and planning world this Technical Specification will be based on innovating practical, evidence-based tools that meet end-user needs of designers, planners, maintenance people but also police, law enforcement and the security industry in their operational contexts.
Design guidelines are given for specific types of environments to prevent or counteract different crime problems consistently with the building design, urban planning and city maintenance documents. Furthermore, guidelines for a step by step process are presented to involve all stakeholders engaged in urban planning and environmental crime reduction as well as all other stakeholders mainly local and regional authorities and residents in the multi-agency action needed to minimize the risks of crime
and fear of crime. Reference will be made to the quickly changing and worldwide spreading approach of Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPTED).
This Technical Specification provides principles and processes for building design, urban planning and city maintenance. This guidance can be applied for buildings, for a neighborhood or environment ranging from just a few houses or streets to the whole city with a focus on public spaces.

This document establishes general principles and specifies the framework for a process of Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED).
It specifies the assessment of risk of crime problems (crime and/or feelings of insecurity) and the framework, process, measures and procedures aimed at reducing these risks in a specific new to build or existing environment. The crimes covered by this document are often of an opportunistic nature and are crimes against property (e.g. burglary, theft, vandalism, pickpocketing, arson), violent crimes (e.g. assaults, robbery, terrorism, harassment, sexual violence) as well as other criminal behaviour (see Annex A). The exact choice of which types of crime will be included in an approach has to be taken locally and is part of the processes and procedures described in this document. Annex A gives an overview of all foreseeable types of crime in all European languages. Feelings of insecurity are also defined as a ‘crime problem’ in this document.
This document provides guidelines and strategies for a CPTED-process in specific types of environments to prevent or reduce the risks of potential or identified crime problems. Guidelines for a step-by-step process are given to involve all stakeholders engaged in urban planning and environmental crime reduction. It also allows for all other stakeholders to be engaged – mainly local and regional authorities and residents/businesses/institutes – in the multi-disciplinary action needed to minimize the risks of crime problems (crime and feelings of insecurity).
This document introduces a process that is applicable to the planning process of new, as well as existing, urban areas. Such an area can be the neighbourhood or environment ranging from just one building to a few buildings or streets to a whole district. This document also introduces a higher-level framework that is often city wide – or regional or sometimes even national – and democratically legitimised for regular implementing CPTED in specific areas and for specific (new/existing) urban planning, design and management projects.
This document provides all relevant actors with guidelines aimed at reducing or managing the risk of crime problems in a specific defined environment.

This document specifies the principles regarding the design of seismically isolated structures under earthquake effects. This document also describes the principles of construction management and maintenance, since proper construction management and maintenance are important for realizing high quality seismic isolation structures. This document is not applicable to bridges and LNG tanks, although some of the principles can be referred to for the seismic isolation of those structures. This document is not applicable to seismic isolation structures that reduce the vertical response to earthquake ground motions, since this document mainly specifies seismic isolation structures that attenuate the horizontal response to horizontal earthquake ground motions. This document is not a legally binding and enforceable code. It can be viewed as a source document that is utilized in the development of codes of practice by the competent authority responsible for issuing structural design regulations. NOTE This document has been prepared mainly for the seismically isolated structures which have the seismic isolation interface applied between a superstructure and a substructure to reduce the effect of the earthquake ground motion onto the superstructure. In most cases, the substructure refers to the foundation of the structure. However, the substructure in this document consists of a structural system below the isolation interface that has been designed with sufficient rigidity and strength. Examples include locating the isolation interface in a mid-storey of the building or above the bridge piers (see Annex E).

This document specifies specifications and test methods for elastomeric seismic isolators used for buildings to guarantee high durability and high performance. It is applicable to elastomeric seismic isolators used to provide buildings with protection from earthquake damage. The isolators covered consist of alternate elastomeric layers and reinforcing steel plates. They are placed between a superstructure and its substructure to provide both flexibility for decoupling structural systems from ground motion, and damping capability to reduce displacement at the isolation interface and the transmission of energy from the ground into the structure at the isolation frequency.

This document contains requirements for defining the seismic design procedures and criteria for
offshore structures; guidance on the requirements is included in Annex A. The requirements focus on
fixed steel offshore structures and fixed concrete offshore structures. The effects of seismic events on
floating structures and partially buoyant structures are briefly discussed. The site-specific assessment
of jack-ups in elevated condition is only covered in this document to the extent that the requirements
are applicable.
Only earthquake-induced ground motions are addressed in detail. Other geologically induced hazards
such as liquefaction, slope instability, faults, tsunamis, mud volcanoes and shock waves are mentioned
and briefly discussed.
The requirements are intended to reduce risks to persons, the environment, and assets to the lowest
levels that are reasonably practicable. This intent is achieved by using:
a) seismic design procedures which are dependent on the exposure level of the offshore structure and
the expected intensity of seismic events;
b) a two-level seismic design check in which the structure is designed to the ultimate limit state (ULS)
for strength and stiffness and then checked to abnormal environmental events or the abnormal
limit state (ALS) to ensure that it meets reserve strength and energy dissipation requirements.
Procedures and requirements for a site-specific probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) are
addressed for offshore structures in high seismic areas and/or with high exposure levels. However, a
thorough explanation of PSHA procedures is not included.
Where a simplified design approach is allowed, worldwide offshore maps, which are included in
Annex B, show the intensity of ground shaking corresponding to a return period of 1 000 years. In
such cases, these maps can be used with corresponding scale factors to determine appropriate seismic
actions for the design of a structure, unless more detailed information is available from local code or
site-specific study.
NOTE For design of fixed steel offshore structures, further specific requirements and recommended values
of design parameters (e.g. partial action and resistance factors) are included in ISO 19902, while those for fixed
concrete offshore structures are contained in ISO 19903. Seismic requirements for floating structures are
contained in ISO 19904, for site-specific assessment of jack-ups and other MOUs in the ISO 19905 series, for arctic
structures in ISO 19906 and for topsides structures in ISO 19901-3.

This document specifies the energy performance calculation of water-based distribution systems for space heating, space cooling and domestic hot water (DHW). This document is applicable to the heat flux from the distributed water to the space and the auxiliary energy of the related pumps. The heat flux and the auxiliary energy for pumps can be calculated for any time interval (hour, month and year). The input and output data are mean values of the time interval. Instead of calculating the energy performance of water-based distribution systems, it is also possible to use measurements as long as they follow the time intervals of the whole performance calculation or can be divided into those time intervals.

IEC 62305-3:2018 provides the requirements for protection of a structure against physical damage by means of a lightning protection system (LPS), and for protection against injury to human beings due to touch and step voltages in the vicinity of an LPS (see IEC 62305-1). This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition, published in 2010. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:
Minimum thicknesses of metal sheets or metal pipes are given in Table 4 for air-termination systems where it is necessary to prevent hot-spot problems. Maximum temperature rises ΔT (K) and time duration t50 (s) for different thickness and long strokes are also given.
Cross reference to IEC 62561 (all parts) is made in choosing components of the LPS.
The application of two methods – general and simplified – for separation distance calculation is clarified.
Some changes to the requirements for continuity of steel reinforcement are made.
Revision of positioning of air-termination conductors according to the three accepted methods and a more precise description of the methods for positioning of the air-termination systems, according to the complexity of structures to be protected, are made. The main text has been simplified, Annex A has been deleted and all detailed information has been moved to Annex D.
Information on the protection of green roofs is introduced in Annex D.
Information on the protection of protruding parts on facades of tall buildings is introduced in Annex D.

This document specifies field survey methods for measuring
a) airborne sound insulation between rooms,
b) impact sound insulation of floors,
c) airborne sound insulation of façades, and
d) sound pressure levels in rooms caused by service equipment.
The methods described in this document are applicable for measurements in rooms of dwellings or in rooms of comparable size with a maximum of 150 m3.
For airborne sound insulation, impact sound insulation and façade sound insulation the method gives values which are (octave band) frequency dependent. They can be converted into a single number characterising the acoustical performances by application of ISO 717-1 and ISO 717-2. For heavy/soft impact sound insulation, the results also are given as A-weighted maximum impact sound pressure level. For service equipment sound the results are given directly in A - or C -weighted sound pressure levels.

This standard specifies the methodology for evaluating the energy performance of lighting systems for providing general illumination in residential and non-residential buildings and for calculating or measuring the amount of energy required or used for lighting in buildings. The method may be applied to new, existing or refurbished buildings. It also provides a methodology (LENI) as the measure of the energy efficiency of the lighting installations in buildings.
This standard does not cover lighting requirements, the design of lighting systems, the planning of lighting installations, the characteristics of lighting equipment (lamps, control gear and luminaires) and systems used for display lighting, desk lighting or luminaires built into furniture. This standard does not provide any procedure for the dynamic simulation of lighting scene setting.
Table 1 shows the relative position of this standard within the set of EPB standards in the context of the modular structure as set out in EN ISO 52000-1.
NOTE In CEN ISO/TR 52000-2 the same table can be found, with, for each module, the numbers of the relevant EPB standards and accompanying technical reports that are published or in preparation.
The modules represent EPB standards, although one EPB standard may cover more than one module and one module may be covered by more than one EPB standard, for instance a simplified and a detailed method respectively. See also Clause 2.

This document specifies laboratory methods for measuring the impact sound insulation of floor assemblies.
The test results can be used to compare the sound insulation properties of building elements, classify elements according to their sound insulation capabilities, help design building products which require certain acoustic properties and estimate the in situ performance in complete buildings.
The measurements are performed in laboratory test facilities in which sound transmission via flanking paths is suppressed. The results of measurements made in accordance with this document are not applicable directly to the field situation without accounting for other factors affecting sound insulation, such as flanking transmission, boundary conditions, and loss factor.
A test method is specified that uses the standard tapping machine (see ISO 10140-5:2021, Annex E) to simulate impact sources like human footsteps when a person is wearing shoes. Alternative test methods, using a modified tapping machine or a heavy/soft impact source (see ISO 10140-5:2021, Annex F) to simulate impact sources with strong low frequency components, such as human footsteps (bare feet) or children jumping, are also specified.
This document is applicable to all types of floors (whether heavyweight or lightweight) with all types of floor coverings. The test methods apply only to laboratory measurements.
