Sets of tests in dwellinghouses

For dwellinghouses, one set of tests normally comprises two individual airborne sound insulation tests: one between a pair of living rooms on opposite sides of the separating wall, and one between a pair of bedrooms on opposite sides of the separating wall.

Normally, one set of tests should comprise two individual sound insulation tests (two airborne tests) – (a) a test of insulation against airborne sound between one pair of rooms (where possible suitable for use as living rooms) on opposite sides of the separating wall; and (b) a test of insulation against airborne sound between another pair of rooms (where possible suitable for use as bedrooms) on opposite sides of the separating wall.
