DIN Standards Committee Materials Testing

Overview

ISO 10140 deals with laboratory measurements of sound insulation of building elements. This part of ISO 10140 specifies test requirements for building elements and products, including detailed requirements for preparation, mounting, operating and test conditions, as well as applicable quantities and additional test information for reporting. 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 this part of ISO 10140, 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 the requirements for test facilities and equipment. ISO 10140 (all parts) was created to improve the layout of the standards for laboratory and field measurements, to ensure consistency, and to simplify future changes and additions regarding the mounting conditions. It is intended to present ISO 10140 (all parts) as well-written and arranged format for laboratory measurements. It is intended to update this part of ISO 10140 with application rules for other products. It is also intended to incorporate ISO 140-18 into ISO 10140 (all parts). The test standard addresses manufacturers of building products and independent test laboratories. 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.
