Laboratory measurement of noise from waste water installations

This document:
-   specifies methods for the measurement of airborne and structure-borne sound produced in waste water and rain water installations under laboratory conditions;
-   defines the expression of the results.
It is applicable to waste water piping systems and parts thereof, but not to the actual sources of the wastewater, e.g. lavatories, toilets and bathtubs or any active units. It applies to pipes with natural ventilation and made of any common material in commonly used diameters (up to 150 mm).
The results obtained can be used for the comparison of products and materials. It may serve in estimating the behaviour of waste water systems in a building under certain conditions. Nevertheless, this standard does not provide a normalized procedure for calculating the acoustical properties of such installations in a building.
This revision will also consider the effect of an enclosure.

Messung der Geräusche von Abwasserinstallationen im Prüfstand

Der vorliegende europäische Norm-Entwurf
- legt Verfahren fest, mit denen in Abwasser- und Regenwasserinstallationen entstandener Luft- und Körper-schall unter Laborbedingungen gemessen werden kann;
- legt die Angabe der Ergebnisse fest.
Er ist auf Abwasser-Rohrleitungssysteme und deren Teile, jedoch nicht auf die eigentlichen Abwasserquellen, z. B. Waschräume, Toiletten und Badewannen, anwendbar. Er ist auf Rohre mit natürlicher Lüftung anwendbar, die aus jedem üblichen Material bestehen können und die üblichen Durchmesser haben.
Die erhaltenen Ergebnisse können für den Vergleich von Produkten und Werkstoffen verwendet werden. Er kann zur Einschätzung des Verhaltens von Abwassersystemen in einem Gebäude unter bestimmten Bedingungen dienen. Diese Norm liefert jedoch kein normiertes Verfahren zur Berechnung der akustischen Eigenschaften solcher Installationen in einem Gebäude.

Mesurage en laboratoire du bruit émis par les installations d'évacuation des eaux usées

Le présent projet de Norme européenne :
-   spécifie des méthodes permettant de mesurer le bruit aérien et le bruit structural générés par des installations d'évacuation des eaux usées et des eaux de pluie dans des conditions de laboratoire ;
-   définit l'expression des résultats.
Il s'applique aux systèmes de canalisations d'évacuation des eaux usées et aux éléments associés, à l'exclusion des véritables sources des eaux usées, par exemple les cuvettes de WC, les toilettes et les baignoires ou tout équipement actif. Il s'applique aux canalisations avec aération naturelle, réalisées en un matériau courant quelconque dans des diamètres couramment utilisés (jusqu'à 150 mm).
Les résultats obtenus peuvent être utilisés pour comparer les produits et les matériaux. Cela peut servir à apprécier le comportement des systèmes d'évacuation des eaux usées dans un bâtiment dans certaines conditions. Néanmoins, la présente norme ne fournit pas de mode opératoire normalisé pour le calcul des propriétés acoustiques de telles installations dans un bâtiment

Overview

EN 14366:2004/FprA1 (CEN) - Laboratory measurement of noise from waste water installations - specifies laboratory methods for measuring both airborne and structure‑borne sound generated by waste water and rainwater piping systems. The standard applies to commonly used pipe materials and diameters (up to 150 mm) with natural ventilation, and it excludes active sanitary fixtures and appliances (e.g., toilets, lavatories, bathtubs) as direct noise sources. Amendment prA1 (2018) clarifies test reporting, adds consideration of enclosures, and aligns lab-to-field predictions with EN 12354‑5.

Key topics and requirements

• Scope of measurement
  • Laboratory procedures for airborne and structure‑borne noise from drainage/wastewater piping.
  • Applicable to pipework and components, not to active water‑using appliances.
• Test object limits
  • Pipes of common materials and diameters up to 150 mm; systems with natural ventilation.
• Result expression
  • Defines how to present measured sound data so products and materials can be compared.
• Reporting requirements (amendment prA1)
  • Test reports must explicitly state that laboratory results apply only to the tested object.
  • Reports should reference EN 12354‑5 for predicting in‑situ sound levels from laboratory data.
• Normative references
  • EN 12354‑5:2009 is added to support the transfer of laboratory data to building in‑situ values.
• Additional considerations
  • Revision considers the effect of an enclosure on measured noise emissions.

Practical applications

• Product manufacturers use EN 14366 to:
  • Compare acoustic performance of piping materials, traps and components under controlled laboratory conditions.
  • Support product development and quality control for low‑noise drainage solutions.
• Acoustic consultants, test laboratories and building designers use it to:
  • Generate repeatable laboratory noise data to feed into building acoustic assessments.
  • Estimate system behavior in buildings by combining lab results with EN 12354‑5 prediction methods.
• Useful for procurement and specification when low noise drainage performance is required in apartments, offices or public buildings.

Who should use this standard

• Test laboratories performing sound measurements on drainage components
• Manufacturers of waste water and rainwater installations
• Acoustic consultants and building services engineers assessing drainage noise
• Standards and compliance officers specifying product acoustic criteria

Related standards

• EN 12354‑5:2009 - Building acoustics - Estimation of acoustic performance of buildings from element performance - Part 5: sound levels due to service equipment (normative for converting lab results to in‑situ predictions)
