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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not

This first edition of ISO 26101-1 cancels and replaces the second edition of ISO 26101:2017, of which it
constitutes a minor revision. The changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— The title of the document was changed from “Acoustics — Test methods for the qualification of free-
field environments” to “Acoustics — Test methods for the qualification of the acoustic environment —
Part 1: Qualification of free-field environments”, so that an additional part, "ISO 26101-2, Acoustics
— Test methods for the qualification of the acoustic environment —Part 2: Determination of the
environmental correction", can be introduced.

ISO 26101-1:2021(E)
Introduction
This document describes the divergence loss method of measurement of performance of an environment
designed to provide a free sound field or free sound field over a reflecting plane. An acoustical
environment is a free sound field if it has bounding surfaces that absorb all sound energies incident
upon them. This is normally achieved using specialized test environments, such as anechoic or hemi-
anechoic chambers. In practice, these provide a controlled free sound field for acoustical measurements
in a confined space within the facility.
The purpose of this document is to promote uniformity in the method and conditions of measurement
when qualifying free sound field environments.
It is expected that the qualification procedures outlined in this document will be referred to by other
International Standards and industry test codes. In such cases, these documents making reference
to this document may specify qualification criteria appropriate for the test method and may require
specific traverse paths.
