Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Amendment 1 to ISO 10140-1:2010 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 43, Acoustics,
Subcommittee SC 2, Building acoustics.

Annex J
(normative)
Joints filled with fillers or seals — Sound reduction index
J.1 Application
This annex applies to acoustic sealing of slits (with or without fillers) and of gaps or joints between parts of
windows or doors. Fillers are materials to fill in joints, e.g. foam or sealing tape, gaskets (or seals) are
elements to close openable joints, e.g. retractable floor seals or rebate seals for doors and windows.
The general guidelines in the relevant clauses of ISO 10140-2 shall always be followed. The quantity to be
determined is the sound reduction index of joints, R , per metre of a sealed gap or joint, in decibels as a
s
function of frequency.
The sound reduction index of joints (of the slit, s) with sound transmission only through the joint or the slit is
evaluated from Equation (J.1).

where
L is the energy average sound pressure level in the source room, in decibels (see ISO 10140-2);

L is the energy average sound pressure level in the receiving room, in decibels (see ISO 10140-2);

l is the length of the joint, in metres;

l is the reference length, in metres (l = 1 m);

A is the equivalent absorption area in the receiving room, in square metres.
NOTE To achieve a better signal-to-noise ratio, simultaneous measurements can be performed on an element with
enlarged length of the joint.
For this type of measurement, the influence of flanking transmission through the object in which the slits are
present can be very important, so the maximum sound insulation of the test arrangement requires
measurement, e.g. by sealing the test joint on both sides with elastic sealant, leading to R . Unless this
s,max
value is 10 dB higher than the measured value, the measurement results require correction for this flanking
transmission.
Test R when the test arrangement is prepared.

The sound reduction index of joints (of the slit) R shall be calculated according to the rules of

resulting number shall be presented in brackets and expressed as a minimum value, e.g (R  50,4 dB).
s
The single number ratings are determined in accordance with ISO 717-1. If for one or more frequency bands
the result is larger than R  3 dB, the single number rating is also determined with an infinitely high sound
s,max
reduction index for those indicative bands. If that result differs by more than 1 dB from that first directly
determined, the single number ratings shall also be presented in brackets.
The values which are evaluated can be used directly to compare products (e.g. fillers or sealings) or for the
determination of the sound insulation of composite elements, taking into account the appropriate length of
joints.
Besides the measurement results for well-described situations, this annex also presents a method to
summarize results in a more global way, suitable for use as input data for prediction methods.

The design of the joint to be tested should be similar to the application, because the geometry of the joint is an
important parameter for the sound insulation of joints. For this, the design of the environment
