The Dubai Acoustic Research Laboratory
ISO Acoustic Physical and Mechanical Testing Laboratory
Acoustics, Noise and Vibration Control Engineering, Research & Development
Introducing the trace certification system for products, composite systems and buildings.
A global certification and audit standard for acoustic performance, traced from material to installation.
Founded by the Dubai Acoustic Research Laboratory Group, built for the world.
DARL Trace is the global mark that proves an acoustic material's journey, from laboratory verification through manufacturing, delivery and installation, is fully documented and independently confirmed.
Where DARL Group audits, DARL Trace is the mark that shows the paper trail.
The badge answers one question instantly: can this claim be traced back to source? If yes, it carries the mark.
Accreditation
Sound Insulation and Absorbancy Testing of internal partition systems, external facade, internal glazing, doors, mobile partitions to International certified (ISO 17025) standards.
The laboratory is capable of testing to Rw/STC 95+ dB.
Research & Development
Desktop based design and modelling of systems and system components in line with recognised ISO standards allow the DARL team to assist with potential improvements of products potentially saving time and money on repeat physical testing, and providing predictive modelling of new technologies.
Consulting
Consultancy advice on all aspects of noise, vibration and acoustic design engineering, modelling, system analysis and research & development related projects.
DARL is accredited to ISO 17025 as assessed and audited under the EIAC and ILAC accreditation scheme
