ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

with currently available and up to date standards (ANSI/ASHRAE 70 and ANSI/ASHRAE 130 or
EN 12238, EN 12239 and EN 1751);
— a reference to a companion document (ISO 7235) was added to deal with transmission elements and
physical elements used in the test setup;
— a clause on uncertainty was added.

Introduction
This document defines requirements for acoustic testing of air-terminal devices, air-terminal units,
dampers and valves used in air diffusion and air distribution systems in reverberation test rooms.
It is based on the use of ISO 3741, which describes the acoustic test facilities, instrumentation and
procedures to be used for precision grade determination of sound power levels in octave or one-third-
octave bands of a noise source.

5 Installation and operation of equipment to be tested
5.1 General
5.1.1 When the equipment is mounted closer than 1,0 m to one or more reflecting planes, the sound
power level can depend strongly on the position of the equipment relative to these planes. Therefore,
install the equipment to be tested in a position representative of normal usage. Figure 1 illustrates the
overall test environment, with the specific details of each type shown in Figures 2 to 7.

3.3
frequency range of interest
the range which includes the octave bands with nominal mid-band frequencies between 125 Hz
and 8 000 Hz (optional between 63 Hz and 8000 Hz) or the one-third-octave bands with mid-band
frequencies between 100 Hz and 10 000 Hz (optional between 50 Hz and 10 000 Hz)
Note 1 to entry: The user is encouraged to qualify the room in the 63 Hz octave band and include this sound.
Some equipment can generate significant sound in the 63 Hz octave band.
3.4
reverberant sound field
that portion of the sound field in the test room over which the influence of sound received directly from
the source is negligible

4 Acoustic test facilities and procedures
The acoustic test facilities, instrumentation and procedures to be used, including room qualification
tests, are described in ISO 3741.
This document is applicable to equipment operating under steady state conditions and with a volume
not greater than 5% of the volume of the reverberation room.
If the equipment is greater than 2% up to 5% of the room volume then the test room shall be qualified
according to ISO 3741 with all equipment present in the room. The test facilities shall be qualified for
broad-band sound per the corresponding annex in ISO 3741.

5 Installation and operation of equipment to be tested
5.1 General
5.1.1 When the equipment is mounted closer than 1,5 m to one or more reflecting planes the sound
power level can depend strongly on the position of the equipment relative to these planes. Therefore,
install the equipment to be tested in a position representative of normal usage. Figure 1 illustrates the
overall test environment, with the specific details of each type shown in Figures 2 to 6.
Reflecting planes may, for practical reasons, be simulated by panels with an area-related mass greater
2
than 7 kg/m . Such panels shall extend at least 1,5 m in all directions measured from any edge of the
device under test. These panels shall be vibration isolated from the equipment under test. If such a
panel is used, the room with the reflecting panel shall be qualified for broad-band sound per the
corresponding annex in ISO 3741.
5.1.2 Supply air to the equipment under test or exhaust air from it through a test installation in
accordance with either ANSI/ASHRAE 130 and ANSI/ASHRAE 70 or EN 12238, EN 12239, and EN 1751.
If EN 12238, EN 12239, and EN 1751 are followed, the airflow rate shall be measured using instruments
in accordance with the ISO 5167- series or other instruments which have equivalent calibrated
performance.
5.1.3 Include air-flow control accessories (dampers, deflectors, straighteners, equalizers, etc.)
normally used in conjunction with the equipment under test in the test set-up. Locate and set them in the
same manner as recommended for the application of the equipment.
5.2 Test installation of air-terminal units, dampers and valves for measurement of the
sound radiated to the reverberation room
5.2.1 Position air-terminal devices normally installed in a boundary surface no closer than 1,5 m to
the intersection of any adjacent surface and away from any position of boundary surface symmetry, as
shown in Figure 2.
5.2.2 Mount air-terminal devices normally used at the intersection of two surfaces at the intersection
of the tw
