ISO 717-1-2020 pdf download.Acoustics一Rating of sound insulation in buildings and of building elements一 Part 1: Airborne sound insulation.
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:
— ISO Online browsing platform: available at https://www.iso.org/obp
— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
3.1 single-number quantity
value, in decibels, of the reference curve at 500 Hz after shifting it in accordance with the method specified in this document
Note 1 to entry: Terms and symbols for the single-number quantity used depend on the type of measurement. Examples are listed In TahI1 for airborne sound Insulation properties of building elements and In TabIe2 for airborne sound insulation in buildings. In general, new single-number quantities are derived in a similar way.
3.2 spectrum adaptation term
value, in decibels, to be added to the single-number rating (e.g. R) to take account of the characteristics of particular sound spectra
Note Ito entry: Two sound spectra are defined (in one-third-octave bands and in octave bands) in this document.
Note 2 to entry: Annex A gives information on the purpose of introducing these two spectrum adaptation terms

4 Procedure for evaluating single-number quantities
4.1 General
The values obtained in accordance with e.g. ISO 10140-2 and ISO 16283-1 are compared with reference values (see 4.2) at the frequencies of measurement within the range 100 Hz to 3 150 Hz for one-third- octave bands and 125 Hz to 2 000 Hz for octave bands.
The comparison shall be carried out as specified in 4.4.
Furthermore, two spectrum adaptation terms shall be calculated (see 4.5) based on two typical spectra within the frequency range as quoted above. These two terms may optionally be supplemented by additional spectrum adaptation terms covering (if need be and if measured data are available) a wider frequency range between 50 Hz and 5 000 Hz.ISO 717-1 pdf download.
