Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the standards and locations for conducting sound insulation testing specifically for plastic foam and cellular products. It involves inquiries about relevant testing standards and accredited facilities capable of performing these tests.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • Khoa seeks advice on EN/ISO/ASTM standards for sound insulation testing of plastic foam/cellular products.
  • Dipstik lists several relevant standards, including C634, E90, E336, E596, and E1414, which pertain to sound transmission and attenuation measurements.
  • Khoa asks for recommendations on where to perform the sound insulation tests.
  • A participant suggests the need for an accredited test facility, mentioning UKAS accreditation in the UK and recommending the Vietnam Metrology Institute for Khoa's location.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for accredited testing facilities and the relevance of specific standards, but the discussion remains unresolved regarding the exact locations and availability of such facilities in Vietnam.

Contextual Notes

There may be limitations regarding the availability of accredited testing facilities in different regions, and the specific applicability of the listed standards to the materials in question has not been fully explored.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals or organizations involved in sound insulation testing, particularly those working with plastic foam or cellular products, as well as those seeking to understand relevant standards and testing facilities.

Dear Dipstik,

Thank you for your kind supprot,

Do you know where can perform this test?
 
Where are you based? You need an accredited test facility (in for example the UK that would be a company with UKAS accreditation for the relevant test)
You can always try contacting you National Measurement Institute, they should have list of accredited companies that can perform the test you need.

Edit: according to your profile you are based in Vietnam; so try the Vietnam Metrology Institute.
