ASTM E 1425 Document Information:
Title
Standard Practice for Determining the Acoustical Performance of Windows, Doors, Skylight, and Glazed Wall Systems
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 1, 2007
Scope:
This practice establishes requirements for testing and rating
acoustical performance of window, door, skylight, and glazed wall
systems, regardless of their method or materials of
manufacture.
Operating force, latching force, and air leakage are integral
elements of the acoustical performance of window, door, skylight,
and glazed wall systems. This practice requires (when applicable)
the concurrent testing of operating force, latching force, and air
leakage, in addition to the sound transmission loss test.
This practice establishes the test methodology, specimen
criteria, and classification rating system for purposes of
determining the acoustical performance levels of window, door,
skylight, and glazed wall systems only, and not through openings
between such assemblies and adjacent construction.
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in parentheses are for information
only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
