Whether your brief is to prove compliance with regulations, or other Client driven specifications, or to simply benchmark performance, the only true measure of building quality is derived through testing.

Acoustic Testing Services

Part E Compliance

In addition to Acoustic Consultancy Services, we can provide UKAS accredited compliance testing of sound insulation in accordance with Approved Document E of the Building Regulations (England & Wales) and BS EN ISO 140-4:1998 and 140-7:1998.

Final compliance testing will typically consist of two Airborne and two Impact sound tests to separating floors, with a further two Airborne sound tests to party walls.

We can also provide a confidence testing service at various stages during the construction phase to ensure that the finished construction will meet the specification. Confidence testing is advisable as a failed final test can result in a Building Control Officer requesting a more demanding test regime to prove compliance.

For refurbishment projects Building Sciences can test the existing structure to determine the level of sound insulation prior to the commencement of works, allowing targeted upgrading.
