NF EN ISO 16283-1
Acoustics - Field measurement of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements - Part 1 : airborne sound insulation
ISO 16283-1:2014 specifies procedures to determine the airborne sound insulation between two rooms in a building using sound pressure measurements. 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 airborne sound insulation in unfurnished or furnished rooms where the sound field may or may not approximate to a diffuse field. The measured airborne sound insulation is frequency-dependent and can be converted into a single number quantity to characterize the acoustic performance using the rating procedures in ISO 717‑1.

Le présent document indique les méthodes pour le mesurage de l'isolation acoustique des immeubles ainsi que la détermination de la protection assurée aux occupants de l'immeuble.
Le présent document indique plusieurs méthodologies de mesures in situ, permettant le mesurage de l'indice d'affaiblissement au bruit aérien d'une paroi ou le mesurage de l'isolement acoustique normalisé au bruit aérien d'une façade. Les méthodes prévues sont relatives à l'utilisation d'une source de remplacement ou à l'utilisation du bruit existant à l'intérieur. Il s'agit d'une méthode de classe "expertise".
Le présent document indique des méthodes permettant la mesure in situ de l'isolement acoustique vis-à-vis des bruits de chocs entre deux locaux en utilisant une machine à chocs normalisée. Il s'agit d'une méthode de classe "expertise".
ISO 140-14:2004 concerns field measurements of airborne sound insulation and impact sound insulation, and is to be used as a supplement to ISO 140-4 and ISO 140-7. It contains guidelines on sound insulation measurements in special situations in the field not directly covered by ISO 140-4 and ISO 140-7. The basic standards ISO 140-4 and ISO 140-7 specify the measurement procedure in detail under ideal conditions, but give only little information on how to establish a suitable measurement set-up in rooms differing from simple box-shaped rooms of normal living room size. When it comes to very large rooms, long and narrow rooms, staircases, coupled rooms, etc., no guidance is given in the basic standards, which is why the guidelines in ISO 140-14:2004 have been prepared. Use of the guidelines will contribute to improvement in the reproducibility of building acoustics field measurements and furthermore facilitate the performance of measurements by avoiding time-consuming considerations in actual measurement situations. ISO 140-14:2004 is primarily applicable to measurements in rooms in dwellings, schools, hotels, etc., with volumes less than 250 m3.

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.
