EN ISO 140-10 Acoustics - Laboratory Measurement of Airborne Sound Insulation of Small Building Elements

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN ISO 140-10 testing. It is applied to building elements, excluding windows and doors, whose area is less than 1 m² and which transmit sound between two adjacent rooms or between a room and the open air, independently of the adjacent building elements.

EN ISO 140-10 Acoustics - Laboratory Measurement of Airborne Sound Insulation of Small Building Elements

The results obtained are intended to be used to develop building elements with appropriate acoustic properties, to classify these elements according to their sound insulation properties, and to estimate the effects of partition structures in buildings on sound insulation.

Some examples of equipment covered by this part of EN ISO 140 are:

  • Transfer air devices;
  • Ventilation Panels (Ventilators);
  • External air inlets;
  • Electrical ducts (cable ducts);
  • Transit sealing systems.

The method given is not intended primarily for components forming part of an integrated unit where the sound transmission concerned may depend on the interaction of the components.

Since the sound insulation of small building elements depends on their dimensions, reliable values ​​can only be obtained by testing each actual dimension.

When a small building unit is mounted near one or more reflective planes, Sound transmission may differ significantly from that obtained if the unit is mounted through a partition but away from the adjacent room surface.

The testing involves specific methodologies to measure sound transmission loss and related parameters in a controlled laboratory environment. The results obtained from these tests provide information about the sound insulation performance of the tested building elements.
