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.

Annex A
(normative)
General procedures for qualification of anechoic and hemi-anechoic rooms
A.1 General
The performance of an anechoic or hemi-anechoic room is tested by comparing the spatial decrease of
sound pressure emitted from a test sound source with the decrease of sound pressure that would occur
in an ideal free sound field. The evaluation of this performance is based on the procedures outlined in
ISO 26101.
This annex contains the qualification criteria and test parameters which are required to qualify test
rooms to the requirements of this document. To conform to this document, when no specific criteria are
given, the requirements appropriate for sound power measurements in ISO 26101 shall be met.
A check of the room performance is recommended after modification of the room absorbers and
periodically at intervals not exceeding 5 years.
The following is a comparison of this annex with ISO 26101 and previous versions of this annex:
a) As in the previous version (ISO 3745:2012, Annex A), this annex requires that test rooms are
qualified using discrete-frequency (e.g. pure tone) measurements unless it is known that the
specific noise source under test radiates only broadband noise (see Note below).
b) Consistent with the wording in ISO 26101, this annex defines methods for “discrete-frequency”
and “broadband” qualification of test rooms. Discrete-frequency qualification is essentially
identical to the pure tone qualification used in the previous versions of this annex. In both cases,
only one pure tone is analysed in each frequency band in Table A.1. The wording change from
“pure tone qualification” is consistent with, for example, common fast Fourier transform methods
such as the use of pseudo random noise and narrow bandwidth analysis; see Reference [37] and
ISO 26101:2017, 5.1.4.1, 5.1.4.2.
c) For the purposes of this document, this annex does not require an evaluation of the position of
the acoustic centre. In this annex

Annex A
(normative)

General procedures for qualification of anechoic and hemi-anechoic
rooms
A.1 General
The performance of an anechoic or hemi-anechoic room is tested by comparing the spatial decrease of sound
pressure emitted from a test sound source with the decrease of sound pressure that would occur in an ideal
free sound field. The evaluation of this performance is based on the procedures outlined in ISO 26101:2012
and ISO 26101:2012/Amd.1:— on “Test methods for the qualification of free field environments”.
This annex contains the qualification criteria and test parameters which are required to qualify test rooms to
the requirements of this International Standard. To conform to this International Standard, when no specific
criteria are given, the requirements appropriate for sound power measurements in ISO 26101:2012 (as
amended by ISO 26101:2012/Amd.1:—) shall be met.
A check of the room performance is recommended after modification of the room absorbers and periodically at
intervals not exceeding 5 years.
Following is a comparison of this annex with ISO 26101:2012 and previous version of this annex:
a) As in the previous version of ISO 3745:2012, Annex A, this annex requires that test rooms are qualified
using discrete-frequency (e.g., pure tone) measurements unless it is known that the specific noise source
under test radiates only broadband noise (see NOTE).
b) Consistent with the wording in ISO 26101:2012 this annex defines methods for “discrete-frequency” and
“broadband qualification” of test rooms. Discrete-frequency qualification is essentially identical to the pure
tone qualification used in previous versions of this annex. In both cases only one pure tone is analysed in
each frequency band in Table A.1. The wording change from “pure tone qualification” is consistent with
improved analysis methods such as the use of pseudo random noise and narrow bandwidth analysis, see
reference [37] and ISO 26101:2012, 5.1.4.1, 5.1.4.2.
c) For the purposes of this International Standard, this annex does not require an evaluation of the position
of the acoustic centre. In this annex, the term “acoustic centre” as originally used in ISO 3745 and
ISO 26101:2012, is interpreted as (or, replaced by) either the mathematical origin of the microphone
traverse (see A.3.3) or the primary sound radiating region of the test sound source.
d) This annex follows ISO 26101:2012, 5.1.3.2 in that it requires the mathematical origin for evaluation of the
inverse square law to be restricted to a point that lies within the physical volume occupied by the test
sound source. This is a change from previous versions of this Annex, and as a result, a reduction of the
qualified frequency range and/or qualified distances may arise in test rooms that were previously qualified
using calculation methods that allowed large acoustic centre offsets.
e) Based on guidance given in ISO 26101:2012, this annex requires different traverse paths than required in
previous versions of Annex A of ISO 3745 (see A.3.3).
f) Following the requirements in ISO 26101:2012, background noise limits, and requirements on the test
sound source stability have been relaxed compared to previous versions of Annex A of ISO 3745.
NOTE The general qualification procedure and criteria in this annex are unchanged from the 2012 and 1975 versions
of Annex A of ISO 3745. In particular, the default qualification method uses pure tones as a test signal (referred to as
discrete frequency qualification in this annex). This is a significant difference from ISO 3745:2003, Annex A where the

---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 3745:2012/oprA1:2015
ISO 3745:2012/DAM 1
default qualification procedure used a broadband signal. However, the qualification criteria (Table A.1) have remained the
same in all versions of this annex. As a result, in a test room qualified using only broadband noise according to
ISO 3745:2003, Annex A, the frequency range and/or distances over which the test room can be qualified may be reduced
when re-tested using discrete frequency qualification.
A.2 Qualification criteria
A.2.1 General
In order for a space within an environment to be deemed anechoic or hemi-anechoic for measurements in
accordance with this International Standard the following criteria and test parameters shall be used to qualify
the test environment.
A.2.2 Maximum allowable deviations from inverse square law
The deviations of the measured sound pressure levels from those estimated using the inverse square law,
obtained according to ISO 26101:2012, 5.1 (but excluding 5.1.6), shall not exceed the values given in
...
