Sets out a method for determining an aspect of performance of windows and doors designed for installation in all classes of buildings. It addresses the resistance of the test window or door to external noise.
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee BD-021, Doors and Windows.
The objective of this Standard is to establish a method for determining acoustic performance of windows and doors designed for installation in all classes of buildings.
The methodology described in this Standard is based on standard sized windows and doors and provides manufacturers and consumers with like-for-like comparative data for assessing product performance.
This Standard is intended to be read in conjunction with AS 1191, Acoustics—Method for laboratory measurement of airborne sound transmission insulation of building elements.
