EN 16205:2013 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 16205:2013) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 126 “Acoustic properties of building elements and of buildings”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

EN 16205:2013 (E) 4 Introduction This document sets up a laboratory measurement method to determine noise radiated from a floor covering on a standard concrete floor when excited by a standard tapping machine. The noise is measured in the room where the floor covering and the excitation are located. There is no restriction concerning the type of floor covering unless that the required small pads of the flooring could not be assembled. Using the standard tapping machine according to EN ISO 10140 means that a more general excitation compared to walking alone is regarded – in the same way as it is accepted for impact sound improvement measurements of floor coverings. The results are expressed in terms of the normalised A-weighted average sound pressure level in the walking room. The results provide information about the noise radiated. A more sophisticated psychoacoustic evaluation did not seem to be appropriate in view of the fact that this measurement stands for a large range of sources with different acoustical behaviour (even if only different types of walking were regarded). A subjective classification of the quality of the floor coverings is not intended.

EN 16205:2013 (E) 7 4 Principle A floor test facility according to EN ISO 10140 for impact and airborne sound measurements is used. It consists of two medium sized and medium damped rooms above each other, separated by a standard homogeneous concrete floor. As a walking noise source, a standard tapping machine according to EN ISO 10140 is applied. Several average sound pressure level measurements in third-octave bands are made in the upper and
