APPENDIX A
GLOSSARY
IMPACT MEASUREMENT AND ASSESSMENT DESCRIPTORS
x LAeq,T – Time average A-weighted sound pressure level is the average energy equivalent level of the A Weighted sound over a period "T".
x LAeq – Equivalent Continuous Noise Level. The noise level in dB(A) which if present for the
entire measurement period would produce the same sound energy to be received as was actually received as a result of a signal which varied with time. Normally abbreviated to "Leq" or "LAeq", often followed by a specification of the time period (such as 1 hour or 8 hours) indicating the period of time to which the measured value has been normalized;
x L’nT,w – Weighted Standardised impact sound pressure level; a measurement of impact sound
transmission between rooms. Lower values denote better performance. The single figure measure is derived by adapting a standard response curve to measured 1/3 octave band sound pressure levels. Measured results are adjusted based upon a reverberation tome of 0.5 sec in receiving room. Normally derived from a field test.
x L’n,w – Weighted Normalized impact sound pressure level; a laboratory measurement of impact
sound transmission between rooms. Lower values denote better performance. The single figure measure is derived by adapting a standard response curve to measured 1/3 octave band sound pressure level measurements. Measured results are adjusted based on the absorption of 10m2 in the receiving room. Normally derived from a laboratory test.
x CI – A spectrum adaptation term compensating for the effect of floor coverings when applied to
bare floors under test. The usually negative value, in decibels, is added to the single-number quantity, L’nw or L’nTw.
x Field Impact Insulation Class (FIIC) – a single-number rating derived from measured values of
normalized one-third octave band impact sound pressure levels in accordance with Eq 4 and the reference contours in Classification E 989. It provides an estimate of the sound insulating performance of a floor-ceiling assembly and associated support structures under tapping machine excitation.
x Impact Insulation Class (IIC) – This classification covers the determination of a single-figure
rating that can be used for comparing floor-ceiling assemblies for general building design purposes.
x Impact Sound Pressure Level (L) – the average sound pressure level in a specified frequency
band produced in the receiving room by the operation of the standard tapping machine on the floor assembly, averaged over each of the specified machine positions.
x L’nT – Standardised Impact Sound Pressure Level – the impact sound pressure level standardised
to room with a reference reverberation time of 0.5 seconds.

x L’n – Normalized Impact Sound Pressure Level – the impact sound pressure level normalized to reference absorption area of 10 metric sabins (108 sabins).
x Receiving Room – a room below or adjacent to the floor specimen under test in which the impact
sound pressure levels are measured. x Source Room – the room containing the tapping machine. STANDARDS x ISO 140 – 6
Acoustics – Measurement of sound Insulation in buildings and of building elements – Part 6: Laboratory measurements of impact sound insulation of floors
