Acoustics -- Measurement of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements -- Part 6: Laboratory measurements of impact sound insulation of floors
This part of ISO 140 specifies a laboratory method for measuring impact noise transmission through floors by using a standard tapping machine. The method is applicable to bare floors and also to floors with coverings.
The results obtained can be used to compare the impact sound insulation properties of floors and to classify floors according to their sound insulation capabilities.
