This document specifies measurement methods and conditions to obtain reproducible and comparable exterior noise emission levels and spectra for all kinds of vehicles operating on rails or other types of fixed track, hereinafter conventionally called “unit”.
This document is applicable to type testing of units.
It provides measurement procedures for vehicle exterior noise (in general, a vehicle type test is carried out using only a selected subset of these tests):
— when the vehicle is moving at constant speed;
— when the vehicle is accelerating or decelerating;
— when the vehicle is stationary in different operating conditions.
It does not include all the instructions to characterize the noise emission of the other infrastructure related sources (bridges, crossings, switching, impact noise, curving noise, etc.).
This document is not applicable to:
— the noise emission of track maintenance units while working;
— environmental impact assessment;
— noise immission assessment;
— guided buses;
— warning signal noise.
The results may be used, for example:
— to characterize the exterior noise emitted by units;
— to compare the noise emission of various units on a particular track section;
— to collect basic source data for units.
NOTE Additional guidance is provided in Annex D for measurements in the specific case of light rail vehicles.

This document is a supplement to ISO 21388 which applies to hearing aid fitting management (HAFM) services offered by hearing aid professionals (HAP). It focusses on tele-services which may substitute,
or complement services defined in ISO 21388, and it defines services which shall be provided in the facilities of the HAP. Moreover, this document specifies important preconditions such as education, facilities and systems that are required to ensure proper tele-services. If not other stated all definitions and requirements of ISO 21388 also apply for this standard without further notice. Furthermore, it is tried to keep the structure of ISO 21388 to make it easier to use both standards together. It is recognized
that certain populations with hearing loss such as children, persons with other disabilities or persons with implantable devices can require services outside the scope of this document.
Assisted tele-services provided by non-hearing aid professionals, self-fitting, and other non-hearing care related services are also outside the scope of this document.

This document describes a test method for measuring a quantity representative of the intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation for road traffic noise reducing devices: the sound insulation index.
The test method is intended for the following applications:
— determination of the intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation of noise reducing devices to be installed along roads, to be measured either on typical installations alongside roads or or in laboratory conditions;
— determination of the intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation of road traffic noise reducing devices in actual use;
— comparison of design specifications with actual performance data after the completion of the construction work;
— verification of the long-term performance of road traffic noise reducing devices (with a repeated application of the method);
— interactive design process of new products, including the formulation of installation manuals.
The test method is not intended for the determination of the intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation of road traffic noise reducing devices to be installed in reverberant conditions, e.g., inside tunnels or deep trenches or under covers.
Results are expressed as a function of frequency in one-third octave bands, where possible, between 100 Hz and 5 kHz. If it is not possible to get valid measurement results over the whole frequency range indicated, the results need to be given in a restricted frequency range and the reasons for the restriction(s) need to be clearly reported.

This document describes a test method for measuring a quantity representative of the intrinsic characteristics of sound reflection from road noise reducing devices, the sound reflection index, and then calculate a single-number rating for sound absorption from it.
The test method is intended for the following applications:
— determination of the intrinsic characteristics of sound absorption of noise reducing devices to be installed along roads, to be measured either on typical installations alongside roads or on a relevant sample section;
— determination of the intrinsic characteristics of sound absorption of road traffic noise reducing devices in actual use under direct sound field conditions;
— comparison of design specifications with actual performance data after the completion of the construction work;
— verification of the long-term performance of road traffic noise reducing devices (with a repeated application of the method).
The test method is not intended for the following applications:
— determination of the intrinsic characteristics of sound absorption of road traffic noise reducing devices to be installed in reverberant conditions, e.g. inside tunnels or deep trenches.
Results for the sound reflection index are expressed as a function of frequency, in one-third octave bands, where possible, between 100 Hz and 5 kHz. If it is not possible to get valid measurements results over the whole frequency range indicated, the results should be given in a restricted frequency range and the reasons of the restriction(s) should be clearly reported.

This document describes a test method for determining the intrinsic characteristics of sound diffraction of added devices installed on the top of road traffic noise reducing devices. The test method prescribes measurements of the sound pressure level at several reference points near the top edge of a road traffic noise reducing device with and without the added device installed on its top. The effectiveness of the added device is calculated as the difference between the measured values with and without the added devices, correcting for any change in height (the method described gives the acoustic benefit over a simple barrier of the same height; however, in practice the added device can raise the height and this could provide additional screening depending on the source and receiver positions).
The test method is intended for the following applications:
• preliminary qualification, outdoors or indoors, of added devices to be installed on road traffic noise reducing devices;
• determination of sound diffraction index difference of added devices in actual use;
• comparison of design specifications with actual performance data after the completion of the construction work;
• verification of the long-term performance of added devices (with a repeated application of the method);
• interactive design process of new products, including the formulation of installation manuals.
The test method can be applied both in situ and on samples purposely built to be tested using the method described here.
Results are expressed as a function of frequency, in one-third octave bands between 100 Hz and 5 kHz. If it is not possible to get valid measurements results over the whole frequency range indicated, the results shall be given in the restricted frequency range and the reasons of the restriction(s) shall be clearly reported. A single-number rating is calculated from frequency data.
For indoors measurements see Annex A.

It covers the assessment of the intrinsic performance of barriers that can reasonably be assembled inside the testing facility described in EN ISO 10140-2 and EN ISO 10140-4.
This method is not intended for the determination of the intrinsic characteristics of airborne sound insulation of noise reducing devices to be installed on roads in non-reverberant conditions.

This document specifies the laboratory method for measuring the sound absorption performance of road traffic noise reducing devices in reverberant conditions. It covers the assessment of the intrinsic sound absorption performance of devices that can reasonably be assembled inside the testing facility described in EN ISO 354.
This method is not intended for the determination of the intrinsic characteristics of sound absorption of noise reducing devices to be installed on roads in non-reverberant conditions.
The test method in EN ISO 354 referred to in this document excludes devices that act as weakly damped resonators. Some devices will depart significantly from these requirements and in these cases, care is needed in interpreting the results.
