Recommends design criteria for conditions affecting the acoustic environment within building interiors to ensure a healthy, comfortable and productive environment for the occupants and the users.

Provides a method whereby the frequency dependent values of airborne sound insulation of building elements and in building can be converted into a single number characterizing the acoustical performance; this Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 717-1:1996.

Adopts ISO 140-7:1998 with national modifications to specify field methods for the measuring the impact sound insulation properties of building floors by using a standard tapping machine; this method is applicable bare floors and also to floor with coverings.

This Standard specifies a method for the determination of the thickness loss of textile floor coverings under dynamic loading. It is applicable to all types of textile floor coverings with a surface that is level in height and construction. It does not apply to other textile floor coverings unless the areas of different thickness or construction can be tested separately.

This Standard describes a method for determining the strength of the bond between the backing components of a textile floor covering which can be peeled apart. This method is applicable to tufted carpets which have primary and secondary backing materials forming a bonded composite substrate.

This Standard specifies a method for the determination of the thickness of pile above the substrate of a textile floor covering. It is applicable to all textile floor coverings with pile capable of being shorn from the substrate, but not to textile floor coverings of varying pile thickness or density, unless the areas can be measured separately.

The objective of this Standard is to provide manufacturers and others seeking to determine certain performance and size characteristics of a textile floor covering with suitable methods for obtaining this information.

Identical adoption of ISO 1765:1986, this standard specifies a basic method for the determination of the thickness of machine-made textile floor coverings. Where areas of different thickness or construction exist, these should be tested separately if possible.

This Standard specifies a method for the assessment of the burning behaviour often superficial of textile floor coverings in a horizontal position when exposed to a small source of ignition under controlled laboratory conditions. The method specified in this Standard is applicable to all types of textile floor coverings whatever their construction or their fibre composition. The method may also be applicable to unfinished material. In this case, the result does not indicate the behaviour of the material in the condition in which it is used.

This Standard describes a method for measuring the thickness, compression and recovery characteristics of textile floor coverings.
