Road traffic noise reducing devices - Specifications
This document specifies the performance requirements and methods of evaluation for road traffic noise reducing devices. This document covers acoustic, non-acoustic and long term performance, but not aspects such as resistance to vandalism or requirements of visual appearance.
This document covers products used for road traffic noise reduction made from any materials. This document does not cover road surfaces or the airborne sound insulation of houses.
This document does not cover material specific characteristics necessary to meet the performance requirements of the standard. If existing, material specific standards shall also apply in accordance with the specifications prescribed hereafter.
Lärmschutzeinrichtungen an Straßen - Vorschriften
Dieses Dokument legt die Leistungsanforderungen an Lärmschutzeinrichtungen an Straßen fest. Dieses Dokument befasst sich mit akustischen und nichtakustischen Eigenschaften und dem Langzeitverhalten (der Langzeitwirksamkeit), nicht jedoch mit Aspekten wie z. B. Beständigkeit gegen Vandalismus oder Anforderungen an das äußere Erscheinungsbild.
Dieses Dokument deckt Produkte für an Straßen gelegene Lärmschutzeinrichtungen aus beliebigen Materialien ab. Dieses Dokument behandelt keine Straßenbeläge oder die Luftschalldämmung von Häusern.
Dieses Dokument behandelt keine materialspezifischen Merkmale, die zur Erfüllung der Leistungs-anforderungen dieser Norm erforderlich sind. Falls vorhanden, gelten ebenso materialspezifische Normen nach den hierin beschriebenen Vorschriften.
Dispositifs de réduction du bruit du trafic routier - Spécifications
La présente Norme européenne spécifie les exigences de performance et les méthodes d'évaluation des dispositifs de réduction du bruit du trafic routier. Cette norme couvre les performances acoustiques, non acoustiques et à long terme mais pas certains points tels que la résistance au vandalisme ou des exigences concernant l'aspect visuel.
Elle traite des produits utilisés pour réduire le bruit du trafic routier et réalisés en tous matériaux. Elle ne traite pas des surfaces routières ni de l'isolation des maisons contre le bruit aérien.
Le présent document ne couvre les matériaux spécifiques nécessaires pour satisfaire aux exigences de performances de cette norme. Si elles existent, les normes spécifiques de matériaux doivent également être appliquées en accord avec les exigences prescrites ci après.
