The objective of this course is to train candidates to an
appropriate standard so that they are competent to carry out and
report upon sound insulation tests on walls and floors, in
accordance with relevant standards and regulatory instruments.
The course is specifically centred around measurements according to
the requirements of ISO 140 parts 4 and 7, and it is also relevant
for other situations including Building Regulation requirements. It
will not cover in detail wider aspects contained in other parts of
ISO 140 such as sound insulation of façades, ceilings, small
building elements or laboratory measurements.
|Although the design and detailed specification of sound insulation
of walls and floors is beyond the scope of this course, it is
expected that candidates will gain some understanding of the
principles and practice involved in achieving good sound
insulation, and familiarity with some of the standard forms of
construction commonly encountered, sufficient for them to recognise
and report types of construction tested and any obvious defects
affecting sound insulation performance.
The IoA states “this course provides a basic knowledge of the
methodology for measuring and reporting sound insulation and
aspects of room acoustics, together with relevant provisions of key
standards and guidance” (www.ioa.org.uk|)
