This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, eit
16、her by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2017, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by September 2017. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN
17、 shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 1793-1:2012. With respect to the superseded document, the following changes have been made: the description of the test arrangement has been improved; the method for determining sound absorption
18、 coefficients in each one-third octave band, as described in EN ISO 354, has been modified: the Sabine absorption coefficient Sihas been replaced by a new absorption coefficient NRD,ithat is specific to noise reducing devices and which takes account of the volume of the test sample (the new coeffici
19、ent NRD,imight be derived from Si); the contents of the test report have been better defined; the declaration of the measurement uncertainty and the related confidence level is now mandatory. The reported uncertainties have an impact on the determination of informative categories of single number ra
20、ting 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 single number rating has been removed. The performance of the noise reducing device is, from now o
21、n, only to be reported in terms of the numeric values of the single number rating; a detailed example is presented (Annex C). EN 1793-1 is part of a series and should be read in conjunction with the following: EN 1793-2, Road traffic noise reducing devices Test method for determining the acoustic pe

EN 1793-1:2017 (E)BS EN 1793-1:2017Introduction Where a sound reflecting surface is installed alo
27、ng 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 unprotected are
28、as; 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 absorption perf
29、ormance 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 of in
30、stallation 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 roadside a
31、pplications. 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 described
32、 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 EN 179
33、3-5 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 envelope d
34、oes 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) as per
35、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. EN 1793-1:2017 (E)BS EN 1793-1:2017a) Partial cover on both sides of th

37、 in four cases EN 1793-1:2017 (E)BS EN 1793-1:20171 Scope This European Standard specifies the laboratory method for measuring the sound absorption performance of road traffic noise reducing devices in reverberant conditions. It covers the assessment of the intrinsic sound absorption performance of
38、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. The test method in EN
39、 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, in whole or in part, ar
