Introduction
The standard EN ISO 10140 specifies test requirements for building elements and products, including
glazing units. EN 12758:2019 outlines a test procedure for the measurement in laboratory of sound
insulation for a range of glass configurations.
Considering the number of possible glazing configurations, it is impractical to measure the acoustic
characteristics for all of them.
The last few years have seen the development of acoustic calculation tools based on simulation and/or
interpolation. The aim of this document is to provide a methodology and reference values for the
assessment of such calculation tools.
As there is neither a reference calculation tool nor a standardized calculation method, the assessment is
undertaken first by a comparison with reference values selected from EN 12758:2019. These values have
been calculated on the basis of data collected from several European laboratories. The assessment is
completed by a comparison of the calculated values for other glass compositions with measurements
already performed by the validator according to EN ISO 10140-1 or another possible validator.

4 Software validation procedure
4.1 General outline
The applicant shall provide the validator with access to the calculation tool.
The validation procedure is undertaken in three consecutive steps, for each category as defined in 4.2:
— Step 1: Results obtained with the calculation tool to be validated shall be compared by the validator
to a range of maximal values for defined reference glazing products as defined in Annex A (see 4.4).
— Step 2: If the result of this first evaluation is positive, a second evaluation is undertaken by comparing
calculated values for configurations selected by the validator with values obtained by measurement
(see 4.5).
— Step 3: When the result of the second evaluation is positive, the given limits of the calculation tool for
thicknesses of monolithic glass, laminated glass, interlayer and cavity widths are validated by
comparison to measurement results (see 4.6).
All comparisons shall be undertaken with an accuracy of 0,1 dB.
4.2 Coverage of the validation
The evaluation of a calculation tool is done for one or several categories hereunder:
— Category A: single monolithic glass;
— Category B: single laminated glass;
— Category C: double glazing units with monolithic glass components only;
— Category D: double glazing units with one monolithic and one laminated glass components;
— Category E: triple glazing units with only monolithic glass components;
— Category F: triple glazing units with two monolithic and one laminated glass components;
— Category G: triple glazing units with one monolithic (mid-pane) and two laminated glass components.
NOTE 1 Laminated glass refers only to standard PVB interlayer (non-acoustics).
The validator shall perform an evaluation for each category for which the calculation tool is able to
perform a calculation. The validator shall state for each evaluated category if the calculation tool passed
or not.
The applicant defines the limits of glass thicknesses, cavity widths and interlayer thicknesses by
restricting user inputs, e.g. only glass thicknesses from 3 mm to 15 mm can be chosen by the user.
The applicant informs the validator about categories which shall not be validated.
The applicant shall clearly indicate for which categories of products the calculation tool has been
validated, e.g. by a disclaimer accompanying the validation tool.
At the date of publication of this document, due to insufficient data concerning laminated glass with
interlayers other than standard (non-acoustic) PVB interlayers, only this type is considered for the
validation method.
NOTE 2 The validation does not cover frequencies below 100 Hz and above 3 150 Hz.

4.3 Requirements for the calculation tool
The calculation tool shall calculate sound reduction index in third octave bands in the range from 100 Hz
to 3 150 Hz. Furthermore, the calculation tool shall calculate single-number quantities R , R +C and
w w
R +C according to EN ISO 717-1.
w tr
The version of the calculation tool shall be clearly and unambiguously identified. As an example, the
calculation tool may use a unique hash code based on the complete software code source.
The presentation and the report of the calculation results shall contain:
— sound reduction index, in dB, in third octave band in the range from 100 Hz to 3150 Hz and R , R +C
w w
and R +C according to EN ISO 717-1;
w tr
— the composition of the calculated glazing, its corresponding category from 4.2, with a reference to
this document;
— a clear note that the results are not derived from measurement;
— name and version number of the calculation tool;
— time and date of calculation.
All results shall be given with an accuracy of 0,1 dB.
An example for a calculation results report is given in Annex B.
4.4 Step 1: validation using the reference values of Table A.1
4.4.1 Reference data
The reference values are given in Table A.1 of Annex A for each reference glazing configuration. All
configurations of Table A.1 listed in the categories for which the applicant requests a validation shall be
calculated by the validator.
4.4.2 Comparison procedure
The validator shall perform the calculations on glazings as defined in 4.2, using the applicant's calculation
tool.
The validator compares the results obtained with the applicant tool with the data in third octave bands
and single-number quantity ratings given in Table A.1 and assesses if the criteria defined in 4.4.3 are met.
4.4.3 Validation criteria
The following criteria shall be met for each glazing category defined in 4.2.
a) For the results in third octave band frequencies:
1) For both, reference values of Annex A and calculated values, the sound transmission loss (R )
oct
for each octave band from 125 Hz to 2 000 Hz is calculated from the third octave band values
from 100 Hz to 2 500 Hz according to the Formula 7 of EN ISO 10140-2:2021:
