NF EN ISO 16032, S31-078 (03/2024)

This document specifies an expert method for measuring the sound pressure levels of technical equipment installed in the building. This document concerns in particular sound measurements of sanitary installations, mechanical ventilation, technical heating and cooling equipment, elevators, garbage chutes, heaters, fans, pumps and other technical auxiliary equipment, as well as motorized garage doors . It can also be applied to sound measurements of other types of equipment or activities inside the building, for example noise emitted by sports facilities or restaurants. The measurement of noise from external sound sources that produce airborne or ground-borne noise in the building is not covered by this document. The methods are suitable for premises with a volume of approximately 300 m3 or less, for example, residential buildings, hotels, schools, offices and hospitals. The methods are not intended for measurements in large auditoriums or concert halls.
