1、Designation: E 1425 07Standard Practice forDetermining the Acoustical Performance of Windows,Doors, Skylight, and Glazed Wall Systems1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E 1425; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of
2、 revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice establishes requirements for testing andrating acoustical performance of window,
3、 door, skylight, andglazed wall systems, regardless of their method or materials ofmanufacture.1.1.1 Operating force, latching force, and air leakage areintegral elements of the acoustical performance of window,door, skylight, and glazed wall systems. This practice requires(when applicable) the conc
4、urrent testing of operating force,latching force, and air leakage, in addition to the soundtransmission loss test.1.2 This practice establishes the test methodology, specimencriteria, and classification rating system for purposes of deter-mining the acoustical performance levels of window, door,skyl
5、ight, and glazed wall systems only, and not throughopenings between such assemblies and adjacent construction.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety co
6、ncerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Acoustical products could require a lower air leakagerate than what is required in thi
17、s standard in order to achieve the desiredacoustical performance.4.2 Operating Force Relative to Sound TransmissionTheuse of specific sealing components to achieve a given soundrating could affect operating force of the vertical or horizontalsliding sash or panels of the assembly; therefore, operati
18、ngforce is reported to allow the approving authority informationrelative to sash or panel operating forces.NOTE 2The opening force in 28 CFR Part 36 ADA for interior hingeddoors and sliding doors is limited to 22.2 N (5 lbf).

19、nce cri-teria for products based on their performance class.4.3 Latching force Relative to Sound TransmissionLatching force can affect the compression of seals and theamount of damping applied to the system that in turn affects theair leakage and the acoustical performance. The use of specificsealin
20、g components and latching/locking hardware can affectthe force required to close and latch the door under test. Thelatching force is reported to allow the approving authorityinformation relative to sash or panel latching conditions.NOTE 3The AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 document statesthat the latch
21、ing force shall not exceed 65 N (15 lbf).5. Test Specimen5.1 Assemblies to be tested in accordance with this practiceshall be representative of those produced by the manufactureror fabricator. Test specimens shall be sealed, painted orotherwise finished or prepared only as they would normally beprep

31、requencies.E1425072double hinged door test specimen width shall not vary by morethan 50 mm (2 in.) and the height shall not vary by more than75 mm (3 in.).6. Test Methods6.1 The sequence of testing shall be: operating force (ifapplicable); followed by latching force (if applicable); fol-lowed by air
32、 leakage; and ending with sound transmission loss.If additional sash or panels are tested in the same specimenframe, the complete sequence of tests shall be repeated for eachset of sash or panels. The specimen shall be opened and closed(where applicable) at least five times prior to conducting theop
33、erating, latching force and air leakage tests.6.2 Operating forceThe operating force test shall beconducted on horizontal or vertical operating windows andsliding doors in accordance with ASTM E 2068. For dualwindows or doors, the operating force shall be measured onboth sets of sash or panels. The
34、operating force of rotaryoperators shall be determined in accordance with the proce-dures contained in the AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440standard.6.2.1 The operating force shall not exceed the maximumforce to initiate motion and the maximum force to maintainmotion criteria contained in the AAMA/WDMA/C
35、SA 101/I.S.2/A440 standard. If adjustments need to be made, theoperating force shall be remeasured.6.3 Latching forceLatching force tests shall be conductedon swinging (side-hinged) doors with latches. The latchingforce test shall be conducted in accordance with procedurescontained in the AAMA/WDMA/
36、CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 stan-dard. For multiple doors, such as dual doors (back to back) ordouble doors (side by side) the latching force shall be con-ducted on all panels containing latching hardware.6.3.1 The latching force shall not exceed the maximumlatching force requirement in the AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101
37、/I.S.2/A440 standard. If adjustments need to be made, theoperating force and latching force must be remeasured.NOTE 4A swinging door is defined as closed when the latch is fullysecured in the strike plate and the door remains in the closed position.6.4 Air leakage testThe air leakage test shall be p
38、er-formed in accordance with Test Method E 283. The air leakagetest pressure for windows, doors, and skylights shall be asspecified in the AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 stan-dard. The air leakage test for glazed wall and sloped glazingsystems shall be initially conducted at a test pressure of 75 Pa(1
39、.57 psf) and then at a test pressure 300 Pa (6.24 psf).6.4.1 For windows, doors, and skylights, the air leakageshall be recorded as pass or fail in accordance with the criteriacontained in the AAMA/WDMA/CSA 101/I.S.2/A440 stan-dard. For glazed wall and sloped glazing systems, report the airleakage a
40、t both test pressures. If any adjustments need to bemade, the operating force, latching force and air leakagemeasurements (where applicable) shall be repeated.NOTE 5For glazed wall and sloped glazing systems, the air leakageshall not exceed 0.3 L/s m2(0.06 cfm/ft2) at both test pressures, which isan
41、 industry standard and recommended in AAMA 501.6.5 Sound transmission loss testThe sound transmissionloss shall be performed in accordance withASTM Test MethodE90. If any adjustments or modifications are performed, thewhole sequence of tests (operating force, latching force, airleakage and sound tra
42、nsmission loss) shall be repeated, whereapplicable.7. Classification7.1 Products shall be classified based on their Outdoor-Indoor Transmission Class (OITC) and/or Sound TransmissionClass (STC) ratings.7.2 The OITC rating shall be calculated in accordance withClassification E 1332 for exterior windo
43、w, door, skylight andglazed wall sections. The STC rating shall be calculated inaccordance with Classification E 413 for interior window, doorand glazed wall sections. For products used for both interiorand exterior applications, both the OITC and STC ratings shallbe reported.8. Report8.1 Report the
