Introduction
An assessment of uncertainties that is comprehensible and close to reality is indispensable for many
questions in building acoustics. Whether a requirement is met, a laboratory delivers correct results
or the acoustic properties of a product are better than the same properties of some other product
can be decided only by adequately assessing the uncertainties associated with the quantities under
consideration.
Uncertainties should preferably be determined following the principles of ISO/IEC Guide 98-3. This
Guide specifies a detailed procedure for the uncertainty evaluation that is based upon a complete
mathematical model of the measurement procedure. At the current knowledge, it seems to be
impossible to formulate these models for the different quantities in building acoustics. Therefore, only
the principles of such an uncertainty assessment are explained.
To come to uncertainties all the same, the concept of reproducibility and repeatability is incorporated
which is the traditional approach for uncertainty determination in building acoustics. This concept
offers the possibility to state the uncertainty of a method and of measurements carried out according
to the method, based on the results of inter-laboratory measurements.
NOTE Whenever applicable, the terms and definitions used in this document are equivalent to those given in

4 Detailed uncertainty budget
The derivation of a detailed uncertainty budget is desirable to find out which uncertainty contributions
are the most important ones and how these contributions can be reduced. Furthermore, such a budget
reflects the individual sound fields during the measurement. Consequently, the uncertainty is valid for
an individual measurement result and not for a whole family of results. Annex C gives provisions on the
derivation of such uncertainty budgets.
5 Uncertainty determination by inter-laboratory measurements
5.1 General
Standard deviations determined by inter-laboratory measurements may serve as an estimate for
the standard uncertainty. The general concept and the procedure for determining these standard
deviations are given in ISO 5725-1 and ISO 5725-2, respectively. As many operators and laboratories as
possible should participate in such inter-laboratory measurements in order to obtain reliable results.
5.2 Measurement situations
In building acoustics, three different measurement situations are to be distinguished.
a) Situation A is that a building element is characterized by laboratory measurements. In this case, the
measurand is defined by the relevant part of ISO 10140, including all additional requirements, e.g.
for the measurement equipment and especially for the test facilities. Therefore, all measurement
results that are obtained in another test facility or building also comply with this definition. The
standard uncertainty, thus, is the standard deviation of reproducibility as determined by inter-
laboratory measurements.
b) Situation B is described by the case that different measurement teams come to the same location
to carry out measurements. The location may be a usual building or a test facility. The measurand,
thus, is a property of one particular element in one particular test facility or the property of a
building. The main difference from situation A is that many aspects of the airborne and structure-
borne sound fields involved remain constant since the physical construction is unchanged. The
standard uncertainty obtained for this situation is called in-situ standard deviation.
c) Situation C applies to the case when the measurement is simply repeated in the same location
by the same operator using the same equipment. The location may be a usual building or a test
facility. The standard uncertainty is the standard deviation of repeatability as determined by inter-
laboratory measurements.
5.3 Measurement conditions
The acoustical measurement conditions for determining the different standard deviations shall
correspond to the conditions given in the standardized measurement procedures. The test specimen
shall not be remounted between repeated measurements.
Each laboratory shall use its normal measurement procedure when participating in an inter-
laboratory measurement. No deviations from the test procedure laid down shall occur but repeating
the measurements several times, the parameters left open in the measurement procedure shall be
represented as well as possible. In particular, the set of microphone positions and source positions over
which averaging is carried out for one measurement shall be selected anew, more or less randomly,

---------------------- Page: 15 ----------------------
SIST EN ISO 12999-1:2021
ISO 12999-1:2020(E)
for each repeated measurement. This is necessary to obtain a mean value and a standard deviation of
repeatability that represent the situation correctly.
Before the inter-laboratory measurement is started, each participating laboratory shall report the
exact details of its test procedure.
Additional requirements for carrying out inter-laboratory measurements for the test specimen chosen
shall be laid down in detail. This refers in particular to the following items:
— quantities being measured and reported, rules for rounding numbers;
— number of repeated measurements required;
— calibration of the measurement equipment;
— mounting and sealing conditions of the test specimen, and curing time where appropriate.
5.4 Number of participating laboratories
The number of laboratories, p, shall, from a statistical point of view, be at least eight, but is preferable
to exceed this number in order to reduce the number of replicate measurements required. The number
of measurements in each laboratory, n, should be so chosen that p(n − 1) ≥ 35. In addition, at least
five test results are needed for each laboratory. If the number n of measurements is different among
the participating laboratories, a mean number of measurements shall be calculated and used (see
ISO 5725-2). The measurement results obtained shall not be pre-selected in any way by the participating
laboratories before they are reported.
5.5 Stating the test results of inter-laboratory measurements
In order to simplify the evaluation of measurement results reported, it is strongly desirable to supply
forms for filling in by the participants. For the statistical analysis, it is important to report special
observations and/or any irregularities observed during the test.
5.6 Choice of test specimen
5.6.1 General
The kind of test specimen used for an inter-laboratory measurement depends not only on the
quantity being tested (i.e. airborne sound reduction index, normalized impact sound pressure level)
but specifically on the mounting and measurement conditions for which the standard deviation of
repeatability and reproducibility are being obtained (e.g. walls, floors, windows). Effects influencing
the measurement result, like ageing or a strong dependence on humidity or temperature, shall also be
considered.
The choice of test specimen also depends on practical considerations. In general, three different
approaches (see 5.6.2 to 5.6.4) depending on the type of measurement method and/or on the type of
specimen can be appropriate.
5.6.2 Use of single test specimen — Same material circulated among participants
For checking the measurement procedure and the facilities in different laboratories, ideally, the same
test specimen should be used by all participants in the inter-laboratory measurement and checked
again by the first laboratory at the end of the inter-laboratory measurement.
In building acoustics, this procedure is often not feasible due to the long period of time required,
the risk of damage or change of the test specimen and different sizes of test openings. However, the
variability resulting from the use of more than one test specimen is avoided and the standard deviation
of reproducibility thus obtained is characteristic for the test facility and measurement procedure alone.

SIST EN ISO 12999-1:2021
ISO 12999-1:2020(E)
5.6.3 Use of several test specimens taken from a production lot — Nominally identical material
exchangeable among participants
In contrast to the procedure described in 5.6.2, all participants of the inter-laboratory measurement
receive nominally identical test specimens, i.e. coming from the same production lot or of identical
design and constructed by one manufacturer. This enables testing in parallel and reduces the risk of
damage or of change due to the influence of time. However, the variability among the test specimens
due to their heterogeneity is then inseparable from the variability of the measurement procedure and
forms an inherent part of the reproducibility standard deviation. For this reason, it can be advantageous
to check all test specimens for homogeneity with more precision at one laboratory before the inter-
laboratory measurement and possibly also after its completion.
5.6.4 Use of several test specimens constructed in-situ — Nominally identical material not
exchangeable among participants
When the test specimens cannot be prefabricated and readily transported, they shall be constructed
in-situ by each participant according to close specifications. In this case, the variability among the test
specimens due to their heterogeneity is even larger than for test specimens according to 5.6.3.
5.7 Laboratories with outlying measurement results
ISO 5725-2 provides statistical methods to test whether a result of a laboratory is an outlier in a
statistical sense. If a result turns out to be an outlier, it is necessary to investigate what are the reasons
for the discrepancy. A result shall be disqualified only in the case that an error has occurred, e.g. a
wrong microphone sensitivity was used. Whenever the measurement procedure described in the
standard has been applied correctly and all the requirements

Introduction
An assessment of uncertainties that is comprehensible and close to reality is indispensable for many
questions in building acoustics. Whether a requirement is met, a laboratory delivers correct results
or the acoustic properties of a product are better than the same properties of some other product
can be decided only by adequately assessing the uncertainties associated with the quantities under
consideration.
Uncertainties should preferably be determined following the principles of ISO/IEC Guide 98-3. This
Guide specifies a detailed procedure for the uncertainty evaluation that is based upon a complete
mathematical model of the measurement procedure. At the current knowledge, it seems to be
impossible to formulate these models for the different quantities in building acoustics. Therefore, only
the principles of such an uncertainty assessment are explained.
To come to uncertainties all the same, the concept of reproducibility and repeatability is incorporated
which is the traditional way of uncertainty determination in building acoustics. This concept offers
the possibility to state the uncertainty of a method and of measurements carried out according to the
method, based on the results of inter-laboratory measurements.

4 Detailed uncertainty budget
The derivation of a detailed uncertainty budget is desirable to find out which uncertainty contributions
are the most important ones and how these contributions can be reduced. Furthermore, such a budget
reflects the individual sound fields during the measurement. Consequently, the uncertainty is valid for
an individual measurement result and not for a whole family of results. Annex C gives provisions on the
derivation of such uncertainty budgets.
5 Uncertainty determination by inter-laboratory measurements
5.1 General
Standard deviations determined by inter-laboratory measurements may serve as an estimate for
the standard uncertainty. The general concept and the procedure for determining these standard
deviations are given in ISO 5725-1 and ISO 5725-2, respectively. As many operators and laboratories as
possible should participate in such inter-laboratory measurements in order to obtain reliable results.
5.2 Measurement situations
In building acoustics, three different measurement situations are to be distinguished.
a) Situation A is that a building element is characterized by laboratory measurements. In this case, the
measurand is defined by the relevant part of ISO 10140, including all additional requirements e.g.
for the measurement equipment and especially for the test facilities. Therefore, all measurement
results that are obtained in another test facility or building also comply with this definition. The
standard uncertainty, thus, is the standard deviation of reproducibility as determined by inter-
laboratory measurements.
b) Situation B is described by the case that different measurement teams come to the same location
to carry out measurements. The location may be a usual building or a test facility. The measurand,
thus, is a property of one particular element in one particular test facility or the property of a
building. The main difference to situation A is that many aspects of the airborne and structure-
borne sound fields involved remain constant since the physical construction is unchanged. The
standard uncertainty obtained for this situation is called in situ standard deviation.
c) Situation C applies to the case when the measurement is simply repeated in the same location
by the same operator using the same equipment. The location may be a usual building or a test
facility. The standard uncertainty is the standard deviation of repeatability as determined by inter-
laboratory measurements.

5.3 Measurement conditions
The acoustical measurement conditions for determining the different standard deviations shall
correspond to the conditions given in the standardized measurement procedures. The test specimen
shall not be remounted between repeated measurements.
Each laboratory shall use its normal measurement procedure when participating in an inter-
laboratory measurement. No deviations from the test procedure laid down shall occur but repeating
the measurements several times, the parameters left open in the measurement procedure shall be
represented as well as possible. In particular, the set of microphone positions and source positions over
which averaging is carried out for one measurement shall be selected anew, more or less randomly,
for each repeated measurement. This is necessary to obtain a mean value and a standard deviation of
repeatability that represent the situation correctly.
Before the inter-laboratory measurement is started, each participating laboratory shall report the
exact details of its test procedure.
Additional requirements for carrying out inter-laboratory measurements for the test specimen chosen
shall be laid down in detail. This refers in particular to the following items:
— quantities being measured and reported, rules for rounding numbers;
— number of repeated measurements required;
— calibration of the measurement equipment;
— mounting and sealing conditions of the test specimen, and curing time where appropriate.
5.4 Number of participating laboratories
The number of laboratories, p, shall, from a statistical point of view, be at least eight, but is preferable
to exceed this number in order to reduce the number of replicate measurements required. The number,
n, of measurements in each laboratory should be so chosen that p(n - 1) ≥ 35. In addition, at least
five test results are needed for each laboratory. If the number n of measurements is different among
the participating laboratories, a mean number of measurements shall be calculated and used (see
ISO 5725-2). The measurement results obtained shall not be pre-selected in any way by the participating
laboratories before they are reported.
5.5 Stating the test results of inter-laboratory measurements
In order to simplify the evaluation of measurement results reported, it is strongly desirable to supply
forms for filling in by the participants. For the statistical analysis, it is important to report special
observations and/or any irregularities observed during the test.
5.6 Choice of test specimen
5.6.1 General
The kind of test specimen used for an inter-laboratory measurement depends not only on the
quantity being tested (i.e. airborne sound reduction index, normalized impact sound pressure level)
but specifically on the mounting and measurement conditions for which the standard deviation of
repeatability and reproducibility are being obtained (e.g. walls, floors, windows). Effects influencing
the measurement result, like ageing or a strong dependence on humidity or temperature, shall also be
considered.
The choice of test specimen also depends on practical considerations. In general, three different
approaches (see 5.6.2 to 5.6.4) depending on the type of measurement method and/or on the type of
specimen can be appropriate.

5.6.2 Use of single test specimen — Same material circulated among participants
For checking the measurement procedure and the facilities in different laboratories, ideally, the same
test specimen should be used by all participants in the inter-laboratory measurement and checked
again by the first laboratory at the end of the inter-laboratory measurement.
In building acoustics, this procedure is often not feasible due to the long period of time required,
the risk of damage or change of the test specimen and different sizes of test openings. However, the
variability resulting from the use of more than one test specimen is avoided and the standard deviation
of reproducibility thus obtained is characteristic for the test facility and measurement procedure alone.
5.6.3 Use of several test specimens taken from a production lot — Nominally identical material
exchangeable among participants
In contrast to the procedure described in 5.6.2, all participants of the inter-laboratory measurement
receive nominally identical test specimens, i.e. coming from the same production lot or of identical
design and constructed by one manufacturer. This enables testing in parallel and reduces the risk of
damage or of change due to the influence of time. However, the variability among the test specimens
due to their heterogeneity is then inseparable from the variability of the measurement procedure, and
forms an inherent part of the reproducibility standard deviation. For this reason it can be advantageous
to check all test specimens for homogeneity with more precision at one laboratory before the inter-
laboratory measurement and possibly also after its completion.
5.6.4 Use of several test specimens constructed in situ — Nominally identical material not
exchangeable among participants
When the test specimens cannot be prefabricated and readily transported, they shall be constructed
in situ by each participant according to close specifications. In this case, the variability among the test
specimens due to their heterogeneity is even larger than for test specimens according to 5.6.3.
5.7 Laboratories with outlying measurement results
ISO 5725-2 provides statistical methods to test whether a result of a laboratory is an outlier in a
statistical sense. If a result turns out to be an outlier, it is necessary to investigate what are the reasons
for the discrepancy. A result shall be disqualified only in the case that an error has occurred, e.g. a
wrong microphone sensitivity was used. Whenever the measurement procedure described in the
standard has been applied correctly and all the requirements for the test facility, the measurement
equipment and the mounting of the specimen are fulfilled, the measurement result shall be considered
to be in conformity with the definition of the measurand. Such results shall not be disqualified even if
they are outliers.
5.8 Verification of laboratory results by results of inter-laboratory tests
A laboratory x that has not taken part in an inter-laboratory test can verify the proper operation of
its own test procedure using the test results and the test specimen from an inter-laboratory test. It is
further recommended that a laboratory verify the proper operation of its own test procedure from time
to time, especially whenever changes in the test procedure itself, the test facility or the instrumentation
are made.
Laboratory x carries out n repeated measurements. The standard deviation of these measurements
x
shall be smaller than the values given in Table 1.
