Performance Requirements

Acoustical Performance

For the acoustical tests the products were installed in floor/ceiling assemblies. The field sound transmission class (FSTC) was established in accordance with ASTM E 413-04, "Classification for Rating Sound Insulation," based on testing in accordance with ASTM E 336-09, "Standard Test Method for Measurement of Airborne Sound Attenuation between Rooms in Buildings."

The test values are only for the complete systems tested. No acoustical rating for the underlay mat itself is provided in this Evaluation Report.

In addition, the manufacturer submitted floor/ceiling assemblies for optional testing to establish the field impact insulation class (FIIC). The FIIC was established in accordance with ASTM E 989-06, "Standard Classification for Determination of Impact Insulation Class (IIC)," based on testing in accordance with ASTM E 1007-04e1, "Standard Test Method for Field Measurement of Tapping Machine Impact Sound Transmission Through Floor-Ceiling Assemblies and Associated Support Structures."
