Acoustic testing

BSRIA supplies detailed reports as well as recommendations to improve problem areasBSRIA offers UKAS accredited acoustic testing for Part E of the Building Regulations on all types of buildings, based on BS2750 Part 4 and Part 7. We supply detailed reports of the whole survey, stating the level of acoustic separation and include details of problem areas.

We conduct airborne and tapping sound tests across rooms sharing a wall and sharing a floor. BSRIA:

• provides detailed reports of acoustic performance and make practical recommendations for improvements if necessary
• conducts tests outside normal working hours to minimise site disruption and avoid construction site noise
• offers a "one-stop-shop" compliance solution alongside airtightness and thermographic testing

Under Part E of the Building Regulations, a sample of units in new dwelling developments and refurbishments may have to be tested to demonstrate levels of sound insulation. This has now been extended to new schools and is also regularly specified by clients of buildings where sound can be an issue such as hotels and nightclubs.
