ISO 10848-2:2017

Acoustics - Laboratory and field measurement of flanking transmission for airborne, impact and building service equipment sound between adjoining rooms - Part 2: Application to Type B elements when the junction has a small influence

ISO 10848 (all parts) specifies measurement methods to characterize the flanking transmission of one or several building components. This document considers only laboratory measurements.

The measured quantities can be used to compare different products, or to express a requirement, or as input data for prediction methods, such as ISO 12354‑1 and ISO 12354‑2. However, the measured quantities Dn,f, Ln,f and Lne0,f only represent the performance with the dimensions for the test specimens described in this document.

ISO 10848-2:2017 is referred to in ISO 10848‑1:2017, 4.5 as being a supporting part of the frame document. It applies to Type B elements as defined in ISO 10848‑1, such as suspended ceilings, access floors, light uninterrupted façades or floating floors. The transmission from one room to another can occur simultaneously through the test element and via the plenum (if any). For measurements made according to this document, the total sound transmission is determined and it is not possible to separate the two kinds of transmission.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.

With Requirements, quickly access the main part of the normative text!

The Redline + service - standards comparator allows you to easily and simply identify major changes between the current standard and its last canceled version.

At a glance, you will be able to identify the additions, deletions or modifications to a text, table, figure and formula.


The Redlines + service is offered to you on the collection of French standards in force, in French language and in HTML and PDF format.
