D.A.R.L.
Acoustics, Noise and Vibration Control Engineering, Research & Development
Services
The acoustical testing facility is in line with NVLAP Acoustical Testing Services assigned for ASTM C423, ASTM E 90, ASTM E 477, ASTM E 492, ANSI S12.31, ANSI S12.32 and ANSI S12.51.
​
Testing is also carried out to European and British Standards:
​
-
BS EN ISO 10140-2 - Measurement of Airborne Sound Insulation
-
BS EN ISO 10140-4 - Measurement Procedures and Requirements
-
BS EN ISO 10140-5 - Requirements for Test Facilities and Equipment
-
ISO 354:2003 - Measurement of sound absorption in a reverberation room
-
ISO 16032 - Measurement of sound pressure level from service equipment in buildings
ISO 10140 Results are calculated using BS EN ISO 717-1 - Rating of Sound Insulation in Buildings and of Building Elements.
​
Turnaround times of our tests are typically less than one week from receipt of sample to issuing of test report.
Sound Insulation Testing of Building Components and Systems
-
Walls, facades, windows, doors, floors, roofs, additional linings and constructions etc.
