This part of ISO 10140 specifies laboratory methods for measuring the impact sound insulation of floor assemblies. The test results can be used to compare the sound insulation properties of building elements, classify elements according to their sound insulation capabilities, help design building products which require certain acoustic properties and estimate the in situ performance in complete buildings. The measurements are performed in laboratory test facilities in which sound transmission via flanking paths is suppressed. The results of measurements made in accordance with this part of ISO 10140 are not applicable directly to the field situation without accounting for other factors affecting sound insulation, such as flanking transmission, boundary conditions, and loss factor. A test method is specified that uses the standard tapping machine (see ISO 10140-5:2010, Annex E) to simulate impact sources like human footsteps when a person is wearing shoes. This part of ISO 10140 is applicable to all types of floors (whether heavyweight or lightweight) with all types of floor coverings. The test method applies only to laboratory measurements. An alternative method, using a heavy/soft impact source for assessing the impact sound insulation of a floor against impact sources with strong low-frequency components, such as human footsteps (bare feet) or children jumping, is given in Annex A. Alternative impact sources (i.e. a proposed modification of the standard tapping machine to make its dynamic source characteristics similar to those of a person walking barefoot and a heavy/soft impact source with dynamic source characteristics similar to those of children jumping) are defined in ISO 10140-5:2010, Annex F. A method to test floor coverings is described in ISO 10140-1:2010, Annex H, for single- or multi-layer floor coverings installed on specific reference floors. In the case of multi-layer coverings, they can be factory-assembled or assembled at the test site.

This part of ISO 717:
a) defines single-number quantities for airborne sound insulation in buildings and of building elements such as walls, floors, doors, and windows;
b) takes into consideration the different sound level spectra of various noise sources such as noise sources inside a building and traffic outside a building;
c) gives rules for determining these quantities from the results of measurements carried out in onethird- octave or octave bands in accordance with ISO 10140-2, ISO 140-4, and ISO 140-5. The single-number quantities in accordance with this part of ISO 717 are intended for rating airborne sound insulation and for simplifying the formulation of acoustical requirements in building codes. An additional single-number evaluation in steps of 0,1 dB is indicated for the expression of uncertainty(except for spectrum adaptation terms). The required numerical values of the single-number quantities are specified according to varying needs. The single-number quantities are based on results of measurements in one-third-octave bands or octave bands. For laboratory measurements made in accordance with ISO 10140, single-number quantities should be calculated using one-third-octave bands only. The rating of results of measurements carried out over an enlarged frequency range is dealt with in Annex B.
