Introduction
Methods of measurement of impact sound insulation in buildings and of building elements have
been standardized in ISO 10140-3 and ISO 16283-2. These methods give values for the impact sound
insulation which are frequency dependent. The purpose of this document is to standardize a method
whereby the frequency-dependent values of impact sound insulation can be converted into a single
number characterizing the acoustical performance.

insulation rating
4.1 General
The values obtained in accordance with ISO 10140-3 and ISO 16283-2 are compared with reference
values (see 4.2) at the frequencies of measurement within the range 100 Hz to 3 150 Hz for measurements
in one-third-octave bands or 125 Hz to 2 000 Hz for measurements in octave bands.
The comparison shall be carried out in accordance with 4.3.

4.2 Reference values
The set of reference values used for comparison with measurement results shall be as given in Table 3.
The reference curves are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
NOTE The reference values for the octave bands 125 Hz to 1 000 Hz are equivalent to the energetic sum
(rounded to integers) of these for the relevant one-third-octave band. The energetic sum from one-third-octave
bands 800 Hz, 1 000 Hz and 1250 Hz is 61,41 dB which is rounded to 61 dB. Despite this, the reference value for
the octave band 1 000 Hz is 62 dB to keep it consistent with older versions of this standard. The reference value
for the octave band 2 000 Hz has been reduced to take care of the one-third-octave band 3 150 Hz, which (for
bare heavy floors) can contribute considerably to the unfavourable deviations.
4.3 Method of comparison
4.3.1 Measurements in one-third-octave bands
′ ′
To evaluate the results of a measurement of L , L or L in one-third-octave bands, the measurement
n
n nT
1)
data shall be given to one decimal place. Shift the reference curve in increments of 1 dB (0,1 dB for the
purpose of expression of uncertainty) towards the measured curve until the sum of unfavourable
deviations is as large as possible but not more than 32,0 dB.
An unfavourable deviation at a particular frequency occurs when the results of measurements exceed
the reference value. Only the unfavourable deviations shall be taken into account.
The value, in decibels, of the reference curve at 500 Hz, after shifting it in accordance with this
′ ′
procedure, is L , L or L respectively.

1) The different parts of ISO 10140 and ISO 16283 state that the results shall be reported “to one decimal place”.
However, if the octave or one-third-octave values have been reported with more than one decimal digit, the values
shall be reduced to one decimal place before use in the calculation of the single number rating. This is done by taking
the value in tenths of a decibel closest to the reported values: XX,XYZ ZZ … is rounded to XX,X if Y is less than 5 and
to XX,X + 0,1 if Y is equal to or greater than 5. Software developers should ensure that this reduction applies to the
true input values and not only to the displayed precision (as shown on the screen or printed on paper). Generally
this can be implemented by the following sequence of instructions: multiply the (positive) number XX,XYZ ZZ … by
[1]
10 and add 0,5, take the integer part and then divide the result by 10. For further details see ISO 80000-1 .

To evaluate the results of a measurement of L or L in octave bands, the measurement data shall be

given to one decimal place. Shift the reference curve in increments of 1 dB (0,1 dB for the purpose of
expression of uncertainty) towards the measured curve until the sum of unfavourable deviations is as
large as possible but not more than 10,0 dB.
The value, in decibels, of the reference curve at 500 Hz, after shifting it in accordance with this

procedure and then reducing it by 5 dB is L or L , respectively.

An unfavourable deviation at a particular frequency occurs when the results of measurements exceed
the reference value. Take into account only the unfavourable deviations.
4.4 Statement of results
The appropriate single-number quantity shall be given with reference to this document. The results of
measurements shall also be given in the form of a diagram as specified in ISO 10140-3 and ISO 16283-2.
The uncertainty of the weighted single-number quantities may also be stated, in accordance with
ISO 12999-1. In this case the numbers shall be given to one decimal place.

5 Procedure for evaluating the weighted reduction in impact sound pressure
level by floor coverings on bare heavy floors
5.1 General
The reduction of impact sound pressure level (improvement of impact sound insulation), ΔL, of floor
coverings when tested on a homogeneous concrete slab floor as described in ISO 10140-1 is independent
of the normalized impact sound pressure level of the bare floor, L . However, the weighted normalized
n,0
impact sound pressure levels of the floor with and without a floor covering depend to some extent on
L . In order to obtain comparable values for ΔL between laboratories, it is therefore necessary to

Introduction
Methods of measurement of impact sound insulation in buildings and of building elements have
been standardized in ISO 10140-3 and ISO 16283-2. These methods give values for the impact sound
insulation which are frequency dependent. The purpose of this part of ISO 717 is to standardize a
method whereby the frequency-dependent values of impact sound insulation can be converted into a
single number characterizing the acoustical performance.
The method has been widely used since 1968. However, since there is some evidence that it could be
improved, a spectrum adaptation term is added and it is recommended that experience be gathered
with this.
References to standards which provide data for single-number evaluation are meant to be examples
and not complete surveys.

Acoustics — Rating of sound insulation in buildings and of
building elements —
Part 2:
Impact sound insulation
1 Scope
This part of ISO 717:
a) defines single-number quantities for impact sound insulation in buildings and of floors;
b) gives rules for determining these quantities from the results of measurements carried out in
one-third-octave bands in accordance with ISO 10140-3 and ISO 16283-2, and in octave bands in
accordance with that option in ISO 16283-2 for field measurements only;
c) defines single-number quantities for the impact sound reduction of floor coverings and floating
floors calculated from the results of measurements carried out in accordance with ISO 10140-3;
d) specifies a procedure for evaluating the weighted reduction in impact sound pressure level by floor
coverings on lightweight floors.
The single-number quantities in accordance with this part of ISO 717 are intended for rating impact
sound insulation and for simplifying the formulation of acoustical requirements in building codes. An
additional single-number evaluation in steps of 0,1 dB is indicated for the expression of uncertainty
(except for spectrum adaptation terms).The required numerical values of the single-number quantities
are specified according to varying needs.
The rating of results from measurements carried out over an enlarged frequency range is described in
Annex A.
A method for obtaining single-number quantities for bare heavy floors according to their performance
in combination with floor coverings is described in Annex B.
Examples of the calculation of a single-number quantity is given in Annex C.
A method for rating heavy/soft impact sound insulation performance of building and building materials
by A-weighted maximum impact sound pressure level is given in Annex D.

insulation rating
4.1 General
The values obtained in accordance with ISO 10140-3 and ISO 16283-2 are compared with reference
values (see 4.2) at the frequencies of measurement within the range 100 Hz to 3 150 Hz for measurements
in one-third-octave bands or 125 Hz to 2 000 Hz for measurements in octave bands.
The comparison shall be carried out in accordance with 4.3.
4.2 Reference values
The set of reference values used for comparison with measurement results shall be as given in Table 3.
The reference curves are shown in Figures 1 and 2.
NOTE The reference values for the octave bands 125 Hz to 1 000 Hz are equivalent to the energetic sum
(rounded to integers) of these for the relevant one-third-octave band values. The reference value for the octave
band 2 000 Hz has been reduced to take care of the one-third-octave band 3 150 Hz, which (for bare heavy floors)
may contribute considerably to the unfavourable deviations.

nw, nwT,
An unfavourable deviation at a particular frequency occurs when the results of measurements exceed
the reference value. Take into account only the unfavourable deviations.
1) The different parts of ISO 10140 and ISO 16283 state that the results shall be reported “to one decimal place”.
However, if the octave or one-third-octave values have been reported with more than one decimal digit, the values
shall be reduced to one decimal place before use in the calculation of the single number rating. This is done by taking
the value in tenths of a decibel closest to the reported values: XX,XYZ ZZ … is rounded to XX,X if Y is less than 5 and
to XX,X + 0,1 if Y is equal to or greater than 5. Software developers should ensure that this reduction applies to the
true input values and not only to the displayed precision (as shown on the screen or printed on paper). Generally
this can be implemented by the following sequence of instructions: multiply the (positive) number XX,XYZ ZZ … by
[1]
10 and add 0,5, take the integer part and then divide the result by 10. For further details see ISO 80000-1.

5 Procedure for evaluating the weighted reduction in impact sound pressure
level by floor coverings on bare heavy floors
5.1 General
The reduction of impact sound pressure level (improvement of impact sound insulation), ΔL, of floor
coverings when tested on a homogeneous concrete slab floor as described in ISO 10140-1 is independent
of the normalized impact sound pressure level of the bare floor, Ln,0. However, the weighted normalized
impact sound pressure levels of the floor with and without a floor covering depend to some extent on
Ln,0. In order to obtain comparable values for ΔL between laboratories, it is therefore necessary to
w
relate the measured values of ΔL to a reference floor.
5.2 Reference floor
The reference floor is defined by the values for the normalized impact sound pressure level L given

However, the weighted, normalized impact sound pressure levels of a lightweight floor with and

t,,w
which can be used to calculate the normalized impact sound pressure level of lightweight floors with
the floor covering, it is necessary to relate the measured values of ΔL , ΔL and ΔL to the respective

reference curves for the lightweight floors in ISO 10140-5.
