National foreword This document (EN 1793-4:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 226 “Road equipment” (Secretariat: AFNOR, France). The responsible German body
6、involved in its preparation was the DIN-Normenausschuss Bauwesen (DIN Standards Committee Building and Civil Engineering), Working Committee NA 005-10-26 AA Lrmschutzvorrichtungen (SpA zu CEN/TC 226/WG 6), Gemeinschaftsausschuss mit FGSV. At the beginning of 2013 the responsible German Working Commi
7、ttee 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 modified. Some inconsistencies
8、 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. In addition to the legal units of measurement, this standard also uses the unit “in” (inch). It should, however, be
9、noted that the Gesetz ber Einheiten im Messwesen (German Law on units in metrology) prohibits the use of the unit “inch” for official and commercial purposes in Germany. Conversion 1 inch = 25,4 mm Amendments This standard differs from DIN CEN/TS 1793-4:2004-03 as follows: a) the airborne sound insu

12、0 and are now all obligatory; e) a “free-field” impulse response to be measured for each microphone position and therefore a geometrical spreading correction factor is no more needed in Equation (1); f) consideration of the measurement uncertainty has been added (see Clause 5 and Annex B); g) the su
13、mmary of the test procedure (Clause 6) has been updated to reflect the changes compared to the previous published version.

DIN EN 1793-4:2015-05 EN 1793-4:2015 (E) 5 Introduction Part of the market of road traffic noise reducing devices is constituted of products to be added on the top of noise reducing devices and intended to contribute to sound
38、 attenuation acting primarily on the diffracted sound field. These products will be called added devices. This European Standard has been developed to specify a test method for determining the acoustic performance of added devices. The test method can be applied in situ, i.e. where the traffic noise
39、 reducing devices and the added devices are installed. The method can be applied without damaging the traffic noise reducing devices or the added devices. The method can be used to qualify products before the installation along roads as well as to verify the compliance of installed added devices to
40、design specifications. Repeated application of the method can be used to verify the long term performance of added devices. This method could be used to qualify added devices for other applications, e.g. to be installed along railways or nearby industrial sites. In this case, special care needs to b
41、e taken into account in considering the location of the noise sources and the single-number ratings should be calculated using an appropriate spectrum. No other national or international standard exists about the subject of this European Standard. DIN EN 1793-4:2015-05 EN 1793-4:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope T
42、his European Standard describes a test method for determining the intrinsic characteristics of sound diffraction of added devices installed on the top of traffic noise reducing devices. The test method prescribes measurements of the sound pressure level at several reference points near the top edge
43、of a noise reducing device with and without the added device installed on its top. The effectiveness of the added device is calculated as the difference between the measured values with and without the added devices, correcting for any change in height (the method described gives the acoustic benefi
44、t over a simple barrier of the same height; however, in practice the added device can raise the height and this could provide additional screening depending on the source and receiver positions). The test method is intended for the following applications: preliminary qualification, outdoors or indoo
45、rs, of added devices to be installed on noise reducing devices; determination of sound diffraction index difference of added devices in actual use; comparison of design specifications with actual performance data after the completion of the construction work; verification of the long term performanc
46、e of added devices (with a repeated application of the method); interactive design process of new products, including the formulation of installation manuals. The test method can be applied both in situ and on samples purposely built to be tested using the method described here. Results are expresse
47、d as a function of frequency, in one-third octave bands between 100 Hz and 5 kHz. If it is not possible to get valid measurements results over the whole frequency range indicated, the results shall be given in the restricted frequency range and the reasons of the restriction(s) shall be clearly repo
48、rted. A single-number rating is calculated from frequency data.
