Provides a method for the measurement of airborne sound reduction index to building partitions such as walls, floor/ceiling assemblies, doors, windows and other space dividing elements.

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.

AS ISO 717.2:2024 identically adopts ISO 717 2:2020, which provides a method whereby the frequency dependent values of impact sound insulation of building elements and in buildings (from both laboratory and field measurements) can be converted into a single number to characterize the acoustical performance

AS ISO 717.1:2024 identically adopts ISO 717 1:2020, which provides a method whereby the frequency dependent values of airborne sound insulation of building elements and in buildings (from both laboratory and field measurements) can be converted into a single number to characterize the acoustical performance

Defines and provides methods for determining single number quantities for the impact sound insulation in buildings; this Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 717-2:1996.

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.

Sets out the requirements for the design, installation and commissioning of heated water services using drinking water or rainwater or a combination thereof; includes aspects of the installation from, and including, the valve(s) on the cold water inlet to any cold water storage tank or water heater and the downstream fixtures and fittings; applies to new installations as well as alterations, additions and repairs to existing installations.

The Guide to the Building Code of Australia (the Guide) is a companion manual to the Building Code of Australia (BCA). It is intended as a reference book for people seeking clarification, illustrations, or examples, of what are sometimes complex BCA provisions.

The BCA is a uniform set of technical provisions for the design and construction of buildings and other structures throughout Australia whilst allowing for variations in climate and geological or geographic conditions.
