DIN EN ISO 10140-1:2014-09

ISO 10140 concerns laboratory measurements of the sound insulation of building elements. ISO 10140-1 describes the application rules for elements and products, including detailed requirements for preparation, mounting, operating and applicable test conditions. ISO 10140-2 and ISO 10140-3 contain the general procedures for airborne and impact sound insulation measurements, respectively, and refer to ISO 10140-4 and ISO 10140-5, where appropriate. For elements and products without a specific application rule described in ISO 10140-1, it is possible to apply ISO 10140-2 and ISO 10140-3. ISO 10140-4 contains basic measurement techniques and processes. ISO 10140-5 contains requirements for test facilities and equipment. ISO 10140 (all parts) was created to improve the layout of the standards for laboratory measurements, ensure consistency and simplify future changes and additions regarding mounting conditions in laboratory and field measurements. It is intended for ISO 10140 (all parts) to present a well-written and arranged format for laboratory measurements. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 062-02-31 AA "Schalldämmung und Schallabsorption, Messung und Bewertung" ("Sound reduction and sound absorption; measurement and evaluation") at DIN.
