Acoustics - Measurement of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements - Part 14: Guidelines for special situations in the field (ISO 140-14:2004)

ISO 140-14:2004 concerns field measurements of airborne sound insulation and impact sound insulation, and is to be used as a supplement to ISO 140-4 and ISO 140-7. It contains guidelines on sound insulation measurements in special situations in the field not directly covered by ISO 140-4 and ISO 140-7.
The basic standards ISO 140-4 and ISO 140-7 specify the measurement procedure in detail under ideal conditions, but give only little information on how to establish a suitable measurement set-up in rooms differing from simple box-shaped rooms of normal living room size. When it comes to very large rooms, long and narrow rooms, staircases, coupled rooms, etc., no guidance is given in the basic standards, which is why the guidelines in ISO 140-14:2004 have been prepared. Use of the guidelines will contribute to improvement in the reproducibility of building acoustics field measurements and furthermore facilitate the performance of measurements by avoiding time-consuming considerations in actual measurement situations.
ISO 140-14:2004 is primarily applicable to measurements in rooms in dwellings, schools, hotels, etc., with volumes less than 250 m3.

Akustik - Messung der Schalldämmung in Gebäuden und von Bauteilen - Teil 14: Leitfäden für besondere bauliche Bedingungen (ISO 140-14:2004)

Dieser Teil der ISO 140 behandelt Messverfahren für die Luftschalldämmung und Trittschalldämmung in Gebäuden und ist ergänzend zu ISO 140-4 und ISO 140-7 anzuwenden. Er enthält Leitfäden zum Messen der Schalldämmung bei besonderen baulichen Bedingungen, die nicht durch ISO 140-4 und ISO 140-7 abgehandelt sind.
ANMERKUNG   Die Grundnormen ISO 140-4 und ISO 140-7 legen die genauen Beschreibungen der Messverfahren unter Idealbedingungen fest, liefern allerdings sehr wenig Informationen über die Aufstellung einer geeigneten Messanordnung für Räume, deren Form nicht der einfachen Kastenform mit gewöhnlicher Wohnraumgröße entspricht. Für sehr große Räume, lange und schmale Räume, Treppenräume, verbundene Räume usw., sind in den Grundnormen keine Leitfäden angegeben, weshalb die Leitfäden in diesem Teil erarbeitet wurden. Die Anwendung dieser Leitfäden wird die Vergleichbarkeit von Feld-Messungen der Gebäudeakustik verbessern und durch Vermeiden von zeitaufwendigen Vorbetrachtungen zu gegebenen Messsituationen die Durchführung der Messungen erleichtern.
Dieser Teil der ISO 140 ist hauptsächlich für Messungen in Räumen von Wohngebäuden, Schulen, Hotels usw. mit einem kleineren Volumen als 250 m3 gültig.
Soweit nicht anders festgelegt, ist die Anwendung dieser Leitfäden in Verbindung mit Messungen nach ISO 140-4 und ISO 140-7 nicht verbindlich.

Acoustique - Mesurage de l'isolation acoustique des immeubles et des éléments de construction - Partie 14: Lignes directrices pour des situations particulières in situ (ISO 140-14:2004)

L'ISO 140-14:2004 concerne les mesurages in situ de l'isolation au bruit aérien et à la transmission des bruits de choc, et doit être utilisée comme complément de l'ISO 140-4 et de l'ISO 140-7. Elle comporte des lignes directrices relatives aux mesurages de l'isolation acoustique dans des situations particulières in situ, non directement couvertes par l'ISO 140-4 et l'ISO 140-7.
Les normes de base ISO 140-4 et ISO 140-7 spécifient la procédure de mesurage détaillée dans des conditions idéales, mais fournissent peu d'informations concernant la mise en place d'un dispositif de mesurage approprié dans des salles d'habitation autres que des salles de forme parallélépipédique simple de dimension normale. Les normes de base ne donnent aucune recommandation concernant le mesurage du bruit des salles de très grandes dimensions, des salles longues et étroites, des escaliers, des pièces communicantes, etc., ce qui explique l'élaboration des lignes directrices de l'ISO 140-14:2004. L'utilisation de ces lignes directrices contribuera à l'amélioration de la reproductibilité des mesurages in situ de l'acoustique des bâtiments et facilitera par ailleurs la réalisation des mesurages en évitant de tenir compte des éléments consommateurs de temps dans les situations de mesurage réelles.
L'ISO 140-14:2004 s'applique principalement aux mesurages des pièces des logements, écoles, hôtels, etc., avec des volumes inférieurs à 250 m3.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 140-14 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 43, Acoustics, Subcommittee SC 2, Building
acoustics.
ISO 140 consists of the following parts, under the general title Acoustics — Measurement of sound insulation
in buildings and of building elements:

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 140-14:2004(E)

Acoustics — Measurement of sound insulation in buildings and
of building elements —
Part 14:
Guidelines for special situations in the field
1 Scope
This part of ISO 140 concerns field measurements of airborne sound insulation and impact sound insulation,
and is to be used as a supplement to ISO 140-4 and ISO 140-7. It contains guidelines on sound insulation
measurements in special situations in the field not directly covered by ISO 140-4 and ISO 140-7.
NOTE The basic standards ISO 140-4 and ISO 140-7 specify the measurement procedure in detail under ideal
conditions, but give only little information on how to establish a suitable measurement set-up in rooms differing from
simple box-shaped rooms of normal living room size. When it comes to very large rooms, long and narrow rooms,
staircases, coupled rooms, etc., no guidance is given in the basic standards, which is why the guidelines in this part of
ISO 140 have been prepared. Use of the guidelines will contribute to improvement in the reproducibility of building
acoustics field measurements and, furthermore, facilitate the performance of measurements by avoiding time-consuming
considerations in actual measurement situations.
This part of ISO 140 is primarily applicable to measurements in rooms in dwellings, schools, hotels, etc., with
volumes less than 250 m .
It is not mandatory to use these guidelines in connection with measurements according to ISO 140-4 and
ISO 140-7 unless this is stated elsewhere.

The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.

Part 7: Field measurements of impact sound insulation of floors
3 Technical background
The guidelines in this part of ISO 140 are based on the results presented in ISO/TR 140-13. The guidelines
consist of extracts from this Technical Report.
The guidelines have been prepared based on some theoretical considerations, a few experimental
investigations, and on practical experience from performing a great number of field measurements.
ISO 140-14:2004(E)
The principle is that examples of suitable measurement set-ups are shown in diagrammatic sketches. Efforts
have been made to present examples (some very realistic and some very unusual) which should permit
selection of an example from which a suitable measurement set-up can be established in nearly all field
situations. The possibility of creating a suitable measurement set-up inspired by the sketches but not fully
identical to any of them is the main reason for presenting the guidelines as informative annexes.
The loudspeaker and microphone positions indicated in the sketches should only be considered as guidance
to show how they should be arranged. All requirements given in ISO 140-4 concerning distances to room
boundaries, displacement of the loudspeakers in relation to the planes parallel to room boundaries, etc., shall
be fulfilled.
