BB93 Sound Testing of Schools

BB93 Sound Testing of Schools
Several studies has noted links between noise and academic standards/achievement, BB93 tackles this when used in conjunction with Part E of Building Regulations.

It is in the best interests of the school to make classroom acoustics a high priority for the education of all children as well as for the health and well-being of their staff.

A recent addition to Approved Document E has been the inclusion of a requirement stipulating that acoustics shall be incorporated into the design of schools.

BB93 Compliance Testing
It is now common practice that BB93 compliance testing is also contained within a school's building contract to confirm that the construction achieves its design intent.

At APT Sound Testing we offer a complete design and testing service in support of achieving compliance with BB93. This usually incorporates many different types of testing, such as:

» Airborne sound insulation testing
