Acoustics - Field measurement of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements - Part 2: Impact sound insulation (ISO 16283-2:2015)
This part of ISO 16283 specifies procedures to determine the impact sound insulation using sound
pressure measurements with an impact source operating on a floor or stairs in a building. These
procedures are intended for room volumes in the range from 10 m3 to 250 m3 in the frequency range
from 50 Hz to 5 000 Hz. The test results can be used to quantify, assess and compare the impact sound
insulation in unfurnished or furnished rooms where the sound field might, or might not approximate to
a diffuse field.
Two impact sources are described: the tapping machine and the rubber ball. These impact sources do
not exactly replicate all possible types of real impacts on floors or stairs in buildings.
The tapping machine can be used to assess a variety of light, hard impacts such as footsteps from
walkers wearing hard-heeled footwear or dropped objects. A single number quantity can be calculated
using the rating procedures in ISO 717-2. This single number quantity links the measured impact
sound insulation using the tapping machine to subjective assessment of general impacts in dwellings
that occur on floors or stairs in a building. The tapping machine is also well-suited to the prediction
of impact sound insulation using ISO 15712-2. These two aspects facilitate the specification of impact
sound insulation in national building requirements using only measurements with the tapping machine
as an impact source.
The rubber ball can be used to assess heavy, soft impacts such as from walkers in bare feet or children
jumping, as well as quantifying absolute values that can be related to human disturbance in terms of
a Fast time-weighted maximum sound pressure level. At present, calculation procedures for a single
number quantity do not currently exist in an ISO Standard.
Akustik - Messung der Schalldämmung in Gebäuden und von Bauteilen am Bau - Teil 2: Trittschalldämmung (ISO 16283-2:2015)
Dieser Teil der ISO 16283 legt Verfahren zur Bestimmung der Trittschalldämmung durch Schalldruck-messungen mit einer auf eine Decke oder Treppe in einem Gebäude wirkenden Trittschallquelle fest. Diese Verfahren sind für Raumvolumen im Bereich von 10 m3 bis 250 m3 und den Frequenzbereich von 50 Hz bis 5 000 Hz vorgesehen. Die Prüfergebnisse können genutzt werden, um die Trittschalldämmung in unmöblierten und möblierten Räumen quantitativ zu bestimmen, zu beurteilen und miteinander zu vergleichen, wobei das Schallfeld etwa einem diffusen Schallfeld entsprechen könnte, dies jedoch nicht muss.
Es sind zwei Trittschallquellen beschrieben: das Hammerwerk und der Gummiball. Diese Trittschallquellen reproduzieren nicht genau alle Arten von möglicherweise in der Praxis auf Decken und Treppen wirkenden Stößen.
Das Hammerwerk kann benutzt werden, um verschiedene leichte harte Stöße zu beurteilen, wie z. B. Schritte durch gehende Personen, die Schuhwerk mit hartem Absatz tragen, oder herabfallende Gegenstände. Unter Anwendung der Bewertungsverfahren nach ISO 717 2 kann eine Einzahlangabe berechnet werden. Diese Einzahlangabe setzt die mit dem Hammerwerk gemessene Trittschalldämmung ins Verhältnis zur subjektiven Beurteilung der im Allgemeinen auf Decken und Treppen in Wohneinheiten in Gebäuden auftretenden Stöße. Das Hammerwerk ist auch gut geeignet für die Vorhersage der Trittschalldämmung nach ISO 15712 2. Diese beiden Aspekte erleichtern die Spezifikation der Trittschalldämmung in nationalen Bauvorschriften unter alleiniger Anwendung des Hammerwerks als Trittschallquelle.
Der Gummiball kann zur Beurteilung schwerer weicher Stöße benutzt werden, wie z. B. durch barfuß gehende Personen oder springende Kinder, sowie zur quantitativen Bestimmung von Absolutwerten, die in Form eines maximalen Schalldruckpegels bei Zeitbewertung „Schnell“ auf durch Menschen verursachte Störungen bezogen werden können. Derzeit enthält keine ISO-Norm Berechnungsverfahren für eine Einzahlangabe.
Acoustique - Mesurage in situ de l'isolation acoustique des bâtiments et des éléments de construction - Partie 2: Isolation des bruits d'impacts (ISO 16283-2:2015)
L'ISO 16283-2:2015 spécifie les modes opératoires permettant de déterminer l'isolation des bruits d'impacts à l'aide de mesurages de la pression acoustique avec une source d'impacts agissant sur un sol ou sur un escalier à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment. Ces modes opératoires s'appliquent aux pièces dont le volume est compris entre 10 m3 et 250 m3 et dont la fréquence est comprise entre 50 Hz et 5 000 Hz. Les résultats des essais peuvent être utilisés pour quantifier, évaluer et comparer l'isolation des bruits d'impacts dans des pièces non meublées ou meublées où le champ acoustique peut, ou ne peut pas, être assimilé à un champ diffus.
Deux sources d'impacts sont décrites: la machine à chocs et la balle en caoutchouc. Ces sources d'impacts ne reproduisent pas exactement tous les types possibles d'impacts réels sur les sols ou escaliers à l'intérieur des bâtiments.
La machine à chocs peut être utilisée pour évaluer toute une variété d'impacts légers et durs tels que des pas de personnes marchant avec des talons durs ou des objets qui tombent. Un indice unique peut être calculé à l'aide des méthodes d'évaluation spécifiées dans l'ISO 717‑2. Cet indice unique relie l'isolation des bruits d'impacts mesurée au moyen de la machine à chocs à une évaluation subjective des impacts généraux dans les locaux à usage d'habitation qui se produisent sur les sols ou escaliers à l'intérieur d'un bâtiment. La machine à chocs est également bien adaptée pour prédire l'isolation des bruits d'impacts selon l'ISO 15712‑2. Ces deux aspects facilitent la spécification de l'isolation des bruits d'impacts dans les exigences nationales relatives à la construction, en utilisant seulement la machine à chocs comme source d'impacts pour les mesurages.
La balle en caoutchouc peut être utilisée pour évaluer les impacts lourds et souples, tels que des personnes marchant pieds nus ou des enfants qui sautent, ainsi que pour quantifier les valeurs absolues pouvant être liées aux perturbations humaines en termes de niveau de pression acoustique maximal pondéré en temps rapide. Actuellement, il n'existe aucun mode opératoire de calcul d'un indice unique dans les normes ISO.
Akustika - Terenska merjenja zvočne izolirnosti v stavbah in stavbnih elementov - 2. del: Izolirnost pred udarnim zvokom (ISO 16283-2:2015)
Ta del standarda ISO 16283 določa postopke za določanje izolirnosti pred udarnim zvokom z meritvami zvočnega tlaka z virom udarnega zvoka v hodnikih ali na stopnicah v stavbi. Ti postopki so namenjeni prostorom s prostornino 10–250 m3 v frekvenčnem območju 50–5000 Hz. Rezultate preskusa je mogoče uporabiti za kvantifikacijo, ovrednotenje in primerjavo izolirnosti pred udarnim zvokom v neopremljenih ali opremljenih prostorih, kjer je zvočno polje lahko, ali pa ne, podobno
razpršenemu polju.
Opisana sta dva vira udarnega zvoka: stopalni stroj in gumijasta kroglica. Ta vira udarnega zvoka ne odražata natančno vseh možnih vrst pravih udarcev v hodnikih ali na stopnicah v stavbah.
Stopalni stroj je mogoče uporabiti za ocenjevanje različnih rahlih ali močnih udarcev, kot so stopinje ljudi, ki nosijo obutev s trdo peto, ali zvoki predmetov ob padcu. Enoštevilčno količino je mogoče izračunati po ocenjevalnih postopkih v standardu ISO 717-2. Ta enoštevilčna količina povezuje s stopalnim strojem izmerjeno izolirnost pred udarnim zvokom ter subjektivno ocenjevanje splošnih udarcev v bivališčih, do katerih pride v hodnikih ali na stopnicah stavbe. Stopalni stroj je zelo primeren tudi za napovedovanje izolirnosti pred udarnim zvokom skladno s standardom ISO 15712-2. Ta dva vidika poenostavljata določanje izolirnosti pred udarnim zvokom v državnih zahtevah v zvezi z gradnjo, saj se kot vir udarnega zvoka uporabljajo le meritve s
stopalnim strojem.
Gumijasto kroglico je mogoče uporabljati za ocenjevanje močnih, mehkih udarcev, na primer stopinj bosih pešcev ali udarcev, ki jih povzročajo skakajoči otroci, ter za določanje absolutnih vrednosti, ki jih je mogoče povezati s človeškimi motnjami v smislu časovno obtežene največje ravni zvočnega tlaka. Postopki izračuna enoštevilčne količine trenutno ne obstajajo v standardih ISO.

Introduction
ISO 16283 (all parts) describes procedures for field measurements of sound insulation in buildings.
Airborne, impact and façade sound insulation are described in ISO 16283-1, ISO 16283-2 and
ISO 16283-3, respectively.
Field sound insulation measurements that were described previously in ISO 140-4, ISO 140-5, and
ISO 140-7 were a) primarily intended for measurements where the sound field could be considered
to be diffuse, and b) not explicit as to whether operators could be present in the rooms during the
measurement. ISO 16283 (all parts) differs from ISO 140-4, ISO 140-5, and ISO 140-7 in that a) it applies
to rooms in which the sound field might, or might not approximate to a diffuse field, b) it clarifies how
operators can measure the sound field using a hand-held microphone or sound level meter and c) it
includes additional guidance that was previously contained in ISO 140-14.
NOTE Survey test methods for field measurements of airborne and impact sound insulation are dealt with
in ISO 10052.

Acoustics — Field measurement of sound insulation in
buildings and of building elements —
Part 2:
Impact sound insulation
1 Scope
This part of ISO 16283 specifies procedures to determine the impact sound insulation using sound
pressure measurements with an impact source operating on a floor or stairs in a building. These
3 3
procedures are intended for room volumes in the range from 10 m to 250 m in the frequency range
from 50 Hz to 5 000 Hz. The test results can be used to quantify, assess and compare the impact sound
insulation in unfurnished or furnished rooms where the sound field might, or might not approximate to
a diffuse field.
Two impact sources are described: the tapping machine and the rubber ball. These impact sources do
not exactly replicate all possible types of real impacts on floors or stairs in buildings.
The tapping machine can be used to assess a variety of light, hard impacts such as footsteps from
walkers wearing hard-heeled footwear or dropped objects. A single number quantity can be calculated
using the rating procedures in ISO 717-2. This single number quantity links the measured impact
sound insulation using the tapping machine to subjective assessment of general impacts in dwellings
that occur on floors or stairs in a building. The tapping machine is also well-suited to the prediction
of impact sound insulation using ISO 15712-2. These two aspects facilitate the specification of impact
sound insulation in national building requirements using only measurements with the tapping machine
as an impact source.
The rubber ball can be used to assess heavy, soft impacts such as from walkers in bare feet or children
jumping, as well as quantifying absolute values that can be related to human disturbance in terms of
a Fast time-weighted maximum sound pressure level. At present, calculation procedures for a single
number quantity do not currently exist in an ISO Standard.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out 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.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 16283-2 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 43, Acoustics, Subcommittee SC 2, Building
acoustics.
This edition cancels and replaces ISO 140-7:1998 and ISO 140-14:2004, which have been technically revised.
ISO 16283 consists of the following parts, under the general title Acoustics — Field measurement of sound
insulation in buildings and of building elements:

Introduction
ISO 16283 (all parts) describes procedures for field measurements of sound insulation in buildings. Airborne,
impact and façade sound insulation are described in ISO 16283-1, ISO 16283-2 and ISO 16283-3,
respectively.
Field sound insulation measurements that were previously described in ISO 140-4, -5, and -7 were
(a) primarily intended for measurements where the sound field could be considered to be diffuse, and (b) not
explicit as to whether operators could be present in the rooms during the measurement. ISO 16283 differs
from ISO 140-4, -5, and -7 in that (a) it applies to rooms in which the sound field may, or may not approximate
to a diffuse field, (b) it clarifies how operators can measure the sound field using a hand-held microphone or
sound level meter and (c) it includes additional guidance that was previously contained in ISO 140-14.
NOTE Survey test methods for field measurements of airborne and impact sound insulation are dealt with in
ISO 10052.

DRAFT INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO/DIS 16283-2
Acoustics — Field measurement of sound insulation in
buildings and of building elements — Part 2: Impact sound
insulation
1 Scope
This part of ISO 16283 specifies procedures to determine the impact sound insulation using sound pressure
measurements with an impact source operating on a floor or stairs in a building. These procedures are
3 3
intended for room volumes in the range from 10 m to 250 m in the frequency range from 50 Hz to 5 000 Hz.
The test results can be used to quantify, assess and compare the impact sound insulation in unfurnished or
furnished rooms where the sound field may, or may not approximate to a diffuse field.
Two impact sources are described: the tapping machine and the rubber ball. These impact sources do not
exactly replicate all possible types of real impacts on floors or stairs in buildings.
The tapping machine can be used to assess a variety of light, hard impacts such as footsteps from walkers
wearing hard-heeled footwear or dropped objects. A single number quantity can be calculated using the rating
procedures in ISO 717-2. This single number quantity links the measured impact sound insulation using the
tapping machine to subjective assessment of general impacts in dwellings that occur on floors or stairs in a
building. The tapping machine is also well-suited to the prediction of impact sound insulation using ISO 15712-
2. These two aspects facilitate the specification of impact sound insulation in National building requirements
using only measurements with the tapping machine as an impact source.
The rubber ball can be used to assess heavy, soft impacts such as from walkers in bare feet or children
jumping, as well as quantifying absolute values that can be related to human disturbance in terms of a Fast
time-weighted maximum sound pressure level. At present, calculation procedures for a single number quantity
do not currently exist in an ISO Standard.

4 Instrumentation
4.1 General
The instruments for measuring sound pressure levels, including microphone(s) as well as cable(s),
windscreen(s), recording devices and other accessories, if used, shall meet the requirements for a class 0 or 1
instrument according to IEC 61672-1 for random incidence application.
Filters shall meet the requirements for a class 0 or 1 instrument according to IEC 61260.
The reverberation time measurement equipment shall comply with the requirements defined in ISO 3382-2.
The impact sources shall meet the requirements given in Annex A.
4.2 Calibration
At the beginning and at the end of every measurement session and at least at the beginning and the end of
each measurement day, the entire sound pressure level measuring system shall be checked at one or more
frequencies by means of a sound calibrator meeting the requirements for a class 0 or 1 instrument according
to IEC 60942. Each time the calibrator is used, the sound pressure level measured with the calibrator should
be noted in the field documentation of the operator. Without any further adjustment, the difference between
the readings of two consecutive checks shall be less or equal to 0,5 dB. If this value is exceeded, the results
of measurements obtained after the previous satisfactory check shall be discarded.
4.3 Verification
Compliance of the sound pressure level measuring instrument, the filters and the sound calibrator with the
relevant requirements shall be verified by the existence of a valid certificate of compliance. If applicable,
random incidence response of the microphone shall be verified by a procedure from IEC 61183. All
compliance testing shall be conducted by a laboratory being accredited or otherwise nationally authorized to
perform the relevant tests and calibrations and ensuring metrological traceability to the appropriate
measurement standards.
NOTE Unless national regulations dictate otherwise, it is recommended that the sound calibrator should be calibrated
at intervals not exceeding 1 year, the compliance of the instrumentation system with the requirements of IEC 61672-1

6 General
Determination of the impact sound insulation according to this part of ISO 16283 requires that one room is
chosen as the receiving room into which sound is radiated due to an impact source operating on a partition.
The room or space in which the impact source is operated is referred to as the source room.
The measurements that are required include the sound pressure levels in the receiving room with the impact
source operating, the background noise levels in the receiving room when the impact source is switched off
and the reverberation times in the receiving room.
Two impact sources are described: the tapping machine and the rubber ball.
Two measurement procedures are described that shall be used for the sound pressure level, the reverberation
time and the background noise; a default procedure and an additional low-frequency procedure.
For the sound pressure level and the background noise, the default procedure requires measurements to be
taken in the central zone of a room at positions away from the room boundaries. With the tapping machine as
the impact source, the default procedure for all frequencies is to obtain the energy-average sound pressure
level using a fixed microphone or a manually-held microphone moved from one position to another, an array
of fixed microphones, a mechanized continuously-moving microphone or a manually-scanned microphone.
With the rubber ball as the impact source, the default procedure for all frequencies is to obtain the energy-
average sound pressure level using a fixed microphone or a manually-held microphone moved from one
position to another or an array of fixed microphones.
For the sound pressure level and the background noise with the tapping machine as the impact source, the
low-frequency procedure shall be used for the 50 Hz, 63 Hz, and 80 Hz one-third octave bands in the
3
receiving room when its volume is smaller than 25 m (calculated to the nearest cubic metre). This procedure
6 © ISO 2013 – All rights reserved
---------------------- Page: 14 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 16283-2:2013
ISO/DIS 16283-2
is carried out in addition to the default procedure and requires additional measurements of the sound pressure
level in the corners of the receiving room using either a fixed microphone or a manually-held microphone.
NOTE 1 The low-frequency procedure is necessary in small rooms due to large spatial variations in the sound pressure
level of the modal sound field. In these situations, corner measurements are used to improve the repeatability,
reproducibility and relevance to room occupants.
NOTE 2 The low-frequency procedure is not used with the rubber ball because no link has yet been shown between
any combination of measurements from the corners and central zone of a room for the maximum Fast time weighted
sound pressure level and the maximum Fast time weighted sound pressure level that is spatially averaged over the entire
room volume.
NOTE 3 If necessary to avoid hearing damage, hearing protection should be worn by the operator when measuring the
sound pressure level in the source room and, if necessary, when measuring reverberation times in the receiving room.
When measuring sound pressure levels in the receiving room that will not cause hearing damage it is advisable to remove
any hearing protection so that the operator is aware of short external noise events that could invalidate the measurement
as well as helping the operator to minimise self-generated noise.
For the reverberation time, the low-frequency procedure shall be used for the 50 Hz, 63 Hz, and 80 Hz one-
3
third octave bands in the receiving room when its volume is smaller than 25 m (calculated to the nearest
cubic metre).
If using methods of signal processing for reverberation times described in ISO 18233, the measurements shall
be carried out using fixed microphones and shall not use a mechanized continuously-moving microphone,
manually-held microphone or a manually-scanned microphone.
The sound fields in typical rooms will rarely approximate to a diffuse sound field over the entire frequency
range from 50 Hz to 5000 Hz. The default and low-frequency procedures allow for measurements to be taken
without any knowledge as to whether the sound field can be considered as diffuse or non-diffuse. For this
reason, the sound field should not be modified for the purpose of the test by temporarily introducing additional
furniture or diffusers into the receiving room.
NOTE 4 If measurements with additional diffusion are required, for example due
