AS/NZS ISO 140.7:2006 Acoustics - Measurement of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements, Part 7: Field measurements of impact sound insulation of floors (ISO 140-7:1998, MOD)
Standards Australia/Standards New Zealand
This Standard has been adopted with national modifications and has been reproduced from ISO 140-7:1998. These changes have been made to allow for direct measurements in a receiving room.
Appendix ZZ lists the variations between this Standard and ISO 140-7:1998. For the purpose of this Standard, the ISO text is amended, supplemented or replaced as set out in Appendix ZZ.
The objective of this Standard is to specify field methods for measuring the impact sound insulation properties of buildings floors by using a standard tapping machine. This method is applicable to bare floors and also to floors with coverings.
