Sound Insulation Tests - Part E 2003 Requirement
All the tests are carried out in strict accordance with the regulations and conditions as required to comply with all current criteria.
The costs of the tests will be given at the time of the enquiry provided that we are advised the exact number of tests that are required within the premises. This information can be obtained from your local authority who will have the exact criteria for your particular site. All sites are different so please ensure that you ask exactly how many test they require and the nature of each test, i.e. room to room, floor to ceiling below, etc.
A full report will be issued and the compliance certified.
Once all the details are known we will offer a fixed price which will take into account the location, the number of tests required etc and there will be no additional costs providing the accompanying Site Requirements are adhered to.
The agreed fixed price shall be paid on-site by cheque. Reports will be issued upon receipt of cleared funds.
NB. There are rare occasions where the tests show a fail. If this is the case, this will be intimated to you straight away and remedial suggestion and specification advised. If the remedial work can be done immediately or if it is of an insignificant nature, it may not involve further tests.
Sound Insulation Tests-On Site Requirements
Listed below are the on site requirements to enable the sound insulation tests to be conducted.
240 volt mains supply, either operational inside or with sufficient extension cable to reach all rooms wherein testing is being carried out.
-
The rooms to be tested are fully complete in terms of walls, floors, ceilings, windows, doors, door seals, trickle vents and ventilation system if installed, electrical sockets and switches sealed into patrices or boxes. Ideally both the source and receiving rooms of each test should be fully complete to prevent the need for further visits and the ongoing escalation of the costs involved. We do need this assurance prior to the visit to ensure no extra costs to yourselves.
-
Absence of any site noise or building noises during the period of the test and the cessation of work during that time. Other tradesmen working in the same building can render the test invalid. Problems have been found in the past with, for example, drills, hammering and other impacts, sanding, vacuum cleaners, doors being opened and closed, alarm systems under test, outdoor noises from site vehicles, compressors, pumps, mixers, grinders and saws, and impact noise from paving and gardening equipment.
-
The tests cause sudden bursts of high sound levels within the building which are remotely controlled. This can startle any other persons within the building who are not involved with the testing and we ask for the building to be vacated during the tests.
-
The ISO Standard calls upon you and not ourselves to give a complete description of the walls floors ceilings etc of all test areas and these details cannot be included within the report as is compulsory unless we are so advised.
