Acoustics - Laboratory measurement of sound insulation of building elements - Part 2: Measurement of airborne sound insulation (ISO 10140-2:2021)

This document specifies a laboratory method for measuring the airborne sound insulation of building products, such as walls, floors, doors, windows, shutters, façade elements, façades, glazing, small technical elements, for instance transfer air devices, airing panels (ventilation panels), outdoor air intakes, electrical raceways, transit sealing systems and combinations, for example walls or floors with linings, suspended ceilings or floating floors.
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 total loss factor.

Akustik - Messung der Schalldämmung von Bauteilen im Prüfstand - Teil 2: Messung der Luftschalldämmung (ISO 10140-2:2021)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Prüfstandsmessung der Luftschalldämmung von Bauprodukten wie Wänden, Decken, Türen, Fenstern, Abschlüssen, Fassadenelementen, Fassaden, Verglasungen, kleinen techni¬schen Bauteilen, wie Luftdurchlässen, Lüftungspanelen, Außenlufteintritten, Kabelkanälen, Abdichtungs¬systemen an Übergängen und Kombinationen, wie z. B. Wänden oder Decken mit Vorsatzschalen, abgehängten Decken oder schwimmendem Estrich, fest.
Die Prüfergebnisse können genutzt werden, um die Schalldämmeigenschaften von Bauteilen zu vergleichen, Bauteile nach ihrer Schalldämmung zu klassifizieren, die Konstruktion von Bauprodukten zu unterstützen, die bestimmte akustische Eigenschaften erfordern, und um die Eigenschaften im eingebauten Zustand im vollständigen Gebäude abzuschätzen.
Die Messungen werden in Prüfständen durchgeführt, in denen eine Schallübertragung über Flankenwege unterdrückt wird. Die Ergebnisse der nach diesem Dokument durchgeführten Messungen sind nicht direkt auf die Situation in der Praxis anwendbar, ohne dass andere Faktoren, wie Flankenübertragung, Randbedingun¬gen und Gesamtverlustfaktor, die die Schalldämmung beeinflussen können, berücksichtigt werden.

Acoustique - Mesurage en laboratoire de l'isolation acoustique des éléments de construction - Partie 2: Mesurage de l'isolation au bruit aérien (ISO 10140-2:2021)

Le présent document spécifie une méthode de mesure en laboratoire de l’isolation au bruit aérien des produits de construction tels que les murs, planchers, portes, fenêtres, fermetures, éléments de façade, façades, vitrage, petits éléments techniques, par exemple les dispositifs de transfert d’air, bouches d’aération (bouches de ventilation), entrées d’air extérieures, conduits électriques, systèmes d’étanchéité de passage, et des combinaisons, par exemple les murs ou planchers avec revêtements, les plafonds suspendus ou les planchers flottants.
Les résultats d’essai peuvent être utilisés pour comparer les propriétés d’isolation acoustique des éléments de construction, classer ces éléments selon leurs aptitudes d’isolation acoustique, aider à concevoir des produits de construction nécessitant certaines propriétés acoustiques, et évaluer la performance in situ dans les bâtiments complets.
Les mesurages sont effectués dans des installations d’essai en laboratoire dans lesquelles la transmission acoustique par les voies latérales est supprimée. Les résultats des mesurages effectués conformément au présent document ne sont pas directement applicables in situ sans tenir compte d’autres facteurs qui influencent l’isolation acoustique, tels que la transmission latérale, les conditions limites et le facteur de perte total.

ISO 10140-2:2021(E)
Introduction
ISO 10140 (all parts) concerns laboratory measurement of the sound insulation of building elements
(see Table 1).
ISO 10140-1 specifies the application rules for specific elements and products, including specific
requirements for the preparation and mounting of the test elements, and for the operating and test
conditions. This document and ISO 10140-3 contain the general procedures for airborne and impact
sound insulation measurements, respectively, and refer to ISO 10140-4 and ISO 10140-5 where
appropriate. For elements and products without a specific application rule described in ISO 10140-1, it is
possible to apply this document and ISO 10140-3. ISO 10140-4 contains basic measurement techniques
and processes. ISO 10140-5 contains requirements for test facilities and equipment. For the structure of
ISO 10140 (all parts), see Table 1.
ISO 10140 (all parts) was developed to improve the layout for laboratory measurements, ensure
consistency and simplify future changes and additions regarding mounting conditions of test elements
in laboratory and field measurements. ISO 10140 (all parts) aims at presenting a well-written and
arranged format for laboratory measurements.
ISO 10140-1 is planned to be updated with application rules for other products.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 10140-2:2021(E)
Acoustics — Laboratory measurement of sound insulation
of building elements —
Part 2:
Measurement of airborne sound insulation
1 Scope
This document specifies a laboratory method for measuring the airborne sound insulation of building
products, such as walls, floors, doors, windows, shutters, façade elements, façades, glazing, small
technical elements, for instance transfer air devices, airing panels (ventilation panels), outdoor air
intakes, electrical raceways, transit sealing systems and combinations, for example walls or floors with
linings, suspended ceilings or floating floors.
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 total loss factor.

3.1
sound reduction index
R
ten times the common logarithm of the ratio of the sound power, W , that is incident on the test element
to the sound power, W , radiated by the test element to the other side, expressed by
W
R=10 lg (1)
W
Note 1 to entry: R is expressed in decibels.
Note 2 to entry: For laboratory measurements using sound pressure, the sound reduction index is calculated using:
S
RL=−L +10 lg (2)
A
where
L is the energy average sound pressure level in the source room, in decibels;
L is the energy average sound pressure level in the receiving room, in decibels;
S is the area of the free test opening in which the test element is installed, in square metres;
A is the equivalent sound absorption area in the receiving room, in square metres.
Note 3 to entry: The derivation of Formula (2) from Formula (1) assumes that the sound fields are diffuse and
that the only sound radiated into the receiving room is from the test element.
Note 4 to entry: The expression “sound transmission loss” (TL) is also in use in English-speaking countries. It is
equivalent to “sound reduction index”.
Note 5 to entry: Related quantities can be introduced in other documents or test codes, often by adding subscripts,
i.e. R for the sound reduction index as measured by intensity methods, R as the sound reduction index per unit
I s
length of slits or ΔR as the improvement in sound reduction index by linings or suspended ceilings.
3.2
apparent sound reduction index
R'
ten times the common logarithm of the ratio of the sound power, W , that is incident on a test element to
the total sound power radiated into the receiving room if, in addition to the sound power, W , radiated
by the test element, the sound power, W , radiated by flanking elements or by other components is
significant, expressed by
 W 
R′=10 lg (3)
 
WW+
 
Note 1 to entry: R' is expressed in decibels.
Note 2 to entry: In general, the sound power transmitted into the receiving room consists of the sum of several
components. Also, in this case, under the assumption that there are diffuse sound fields in the two rooms, the
apparent sound reduction index is evaluated from Formula (4).
S
R'=−LL +10 lg (4)
A
Thus, in the apparent sound reduction index, the sound power transmitted into the receiving room is related to
the sound power that is incident on the test element, as in Formula (2), irrespective of the actual conditions of
transmission.
