Product Description
This International Standard specifies a method by which the frequency-dependent values of the sound absorption coefficient can be converted into a single number. Before this is done, the one-third-octave band values of the sound absorption coefficient measured in accordance with ISO 354 are converted into octave bands.In annex B a classification method, based on these single numbers, is given for information.The single-number rating specified in this International Standard can be used to formulate requirements and to describe acoustical properties of sound-absorbing products to be used for routine applications in normal offices, corridors, class rooms, hospitals, etc. The rating is not appropriate when the products are to be used in qualified environments requiring careful acoustical design by expertise. In such cases, only complete sound absorption data as a function of frequency are satisfactory.This International Standard is not applicable unless the applications cover the whole frequency range of the reference curve. If only a part of this range is of interest, it may be more appropriate to look for products with a good sound absorption within this range only. The shape indicators described in this International Standard give some guidance in identifying such products which may have a relatively low single number but a much higher potential if a more restricted frequency range is considered. Such products should be judged from the complete sound absorption curve.As the rating curve in this International Standard has as a lower limit the 250 Hz octave band, the rating is not appropriate below this frequency. If such low frequencies are of interest, reference must be made to the complete sound absorption curve.This International Standard is, in principle, applicable to all building products for which the sound absorption coefficient has been determined in accordance with ISO 354. It is, however, often not suitable for application to single items, such as chairs, baffles, etc., nor is it applicable to road barriers and road surfaces. This title may contain less than 24 pages of technical content.
