EN ISO 140-7 Acoustics - Field Measurements of Impact Sound Insulation of Floors

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN ISO 140-7 testing. This international standard covers field methods for measuring the impact sound insulation properties of floors between two rooms using a standard tapping machine and determining the protection that floors provide to building occupants.

The results obtained can be used to compare impact sound insulation between rooms and compare actual impact sound insulation with stated requirements. Normalized impact sound level is used when determining the impact sound insulation properties of a building element.

The purpose of this International Standard is to:

• To give a procedure for measuring impact sound insulation between two rooms in buildings, thus making it possible to check whether the desired acoustic conditions are achieved;
• To give a field procedure to determine whether structural elements meet specifications and to check whether errors have occurred during construction.

It is not possible to standardize the area of ​​the test sample and the volume and shape of the chambers for the test setup to be used in the field.

The standard specifies the procedures for performing field measurements of impact sound insulation, taking into account factors such as measurement locations, measurement points, measurement conditions.

This standard provides guidance on the analysis of data collected to determine the impact sound insulation performance of tested floors.
