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
constitute an endorsement.

— Precision methods for anechoic rooms and hemi-
anechoic rooms
AMENDMENT 1
Page 1, Normative references
Add the following reference:
ISO 26101:2017, Acoustics — Test methods for the qualification of free-field environments

Page 29, Annex A
Replace Annex A with the following:
Annex A
(normative)
General procedures for qualification of anechoic and hemi-anechoic rooms
A.1 General
The performance of an anechoic or hemi-anechoic room is tested by comparing the spatial decrease of
sound pressure emitted from a test sound source with the decrease of sound pressure that would occur
in an ideal free sound field. The evaluation of this performance is based on the procedures outlined in
ISO 26101.
This annex contains the qualification criteria and test parameters which are required to qualify test
rooms to the requirements of this document. To conform to this document, when no specific criteria are
given, the requirements appropriate for sound power measurements in ISO 26101 shall be met.
A check of the room performance is recommended after modification of the room absorbers and
periodically at intervals not exceeding 5 years.
The following is a comparison of this annex with ISO 26101 and previous versions of this annex:
a) As in the previous version (ISO 3745:2012, Annex A), this annex requires that test rooms are
qualified using discrete-frequency (e.g. pure tone) measurements unless it is known that the
specific noise source under test radiates only broadband noise (see Note below).
b) Consistent with the wording in ISO 26101, this annex defines methods for “discrete-frequency”
and “broadband” qualification of test rooms. Discrete-frequency qualification is essentially
identical to the pure tone qualification used in the previous versions of this annex. In both cases,
only one pure tone is analysed in each frequency band in Table A.1. The wording change from
“pure tone qualification” is consistent with, for example, common fast Fourier transform methods
such as the use of pseudo random noise and narrow bandwidth analysis; see Reference [37] and
ISO 26101:2017, 5.1.4.1, 5.1.4.2.
c) For the purposes of this document, this annex does not require an evaluation of the position of
the acoustic centre. In this annex, the term “acoustic centre” as originally used in ISO 3745:2012,
ISO 3745:2012/Amd.1:2017(E)
is interpreted as (or replaced by) either the mathematical origin of the microphone traverse (see
A.3.3) or the primary sound radiating region of the test sound source.
d) This annex follows ISO 26101:2017, 5.1.3.2 in that it requires the mathematical origin for evaluation
of the inverse square law to be restricted to a point that lies within the physical volume occupied by
the test sound source. This is a change from the previous versions of this annex, and as a result, a
reduction of the qualified frequency range and/or qualified distances may arise in test rooms that
were previously qualified using calculation methods that allowed large acoustic centre offset
