National foreword This document (EN 1793-1:2017) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 226 “Road equipment” (Secretariat: AFNOR, F
6、rance). The responsible German body involved in its preparation was DIN-Normenausschuss Bauwesen (DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering), Working Committee NA 005-10-26 AA “Noise reducing devices (national mirror committee to CEN/TC 226/WG 6)”. At the beginning of 2013, the responsi
7、ble German Working Committee decided to make a change to the German titles of the DIN EN 1793 series of standards. It was decided to change the German term Lrmschutzeinrichtung to Lrmschutzvorrichtung (noise reducing device) in all of the titles. The German titles in the series have thus been modifi
8、ed. Some inconsistencies will remain as regards these titles (e.g. in the Normative References or Bibliographies) until all of the standards in the DIN EN 1793 series and other related standards are revised. Amendments This standard differs from DIN EN 1793-1:2013-04 as follows: a) the description o
9、f the test arrangement has been amended; b) the method for determining sound absorption coefficients in each one-third octave band, according to EN ISO 354, has been modified: the Sabine absorption coefficient Sihas been replaced by a new absorption coefficient NRD,ithat is specific to noise reducin
10、g devices and which takes account of the volume of the test sample (a new coefficient NRD,i can be derived from Si); c) the contents of the test report have been defined in more detail; d) the declaration of the measurement uncertainty and the related confidence level are now mandatory. The reported
11、 uncertainties have an impact on the determination of informative categories of single number rating performance; depending on the performance of the product, this could potentially result in products being downgraded to a lower category. As a result, the informative annex addressing categories of s
12、ingle number rating has been removed. The performance of the noise reducing device is, from now on, only to be reported in terms of the numeric values of the single number rating; e) a detailed example has been added (Annex C).

DIN EN 1793-1:2017-07 EN 1793-1:2017 (E) 5 Introduction Where a sound reflecting surface is install
35、ed along a road, it may be effective to use sound absorbing devices on its traffic side to reduce additional noise nuisance caused by reflected sound. This treatment may be needed in the presence of the following: noise barriers, rocks or retaining walls that can reflect sound waves toward unprotect
36、ed areas; vertical cuttings or reflective surfaces that face each other; tunnels and their approaches; traffic passing close to a barrier where reflections between the vehicles and the barrier may reduce effectiveness. This European Standard specifies a test method for qualifying the sound absorptio
37、n performance of noise reducing devices designed for roads (a measure of intrinsic performance). It is not concerned with determining insertion loss (extrinsic performance) which depends on additional factors which are not related to the product itself, e.g. the dimensions of the barrier and quality
38、 of installation work and site factors such as ground impedance, site geometry etc. The test is designed to allow the intrinsic sound absorption performance of the device to be measured under diffuse sound field conditions; the resulting rating should aid the selection of devices for particular road
39、side applications. The measurement results of this method for sound absorption are not directly comparable with the results of the in situ method (EN 1793-5), mainly because the present method uses a diffuse sound field, while the in situ method assumes a directional sound field. The test method des
40、cribed in the present document should not be used to determine the intrinsic characteristics of sound absorption for noise reducing devices to be installed on roads under non-reverberant conditions. Research studies suggest that some correlation exists between laboratory data, measured according to
41、EN 1793-5 and laboratory data, measured according to the method described in this European Standard 1, 2, 3, 4. For the purpose of this European Standard, reverberant conditions are defined based on the envelope, e, across the road formed by the device under test, trench sides or buildings (the enve
42、lope does not include the road surface) as shown by the dashed lines in Figure 1. Conditions are defined as being reverberant when the percentage of open space in the envelope, w, is less than or equal to 25 %, i.e. reverberant conditions occur when w/e 0,25, where e = (w + h1+ h2) or e = (w + h1) a
43、s per Figure 1. This method may be used to qualify noise reducing devices for other applications, e.g. to be installed nearby industrial sites. In this case the single-number ratings should be calculated using an appropriate spectrum. DIN EN 1793-1:2017-07 EN 1793-1:2017 (E) 6 a) Partial cover on bo

It covers the assessment of the intrinsic sound abso
46、rption performance of devices that can reasonably be assembled inside the testing facility described in EN ISO 354. This method is not intended for the determination of the intrinsic characteristics of sound absorption of noise reducing devices to be installed on roads in non-reverberant conditions.
47、 The test method in EN ISO 354 referred to in this European Standard excludes devices that act as weakly damped resonators. Some devices will depart significantly from these requirements and in these cases, care is needed in interpreting the results. 2 Normative references The following documents, i
