Review of BS8233
30 Sept 2024
Contact with Ronberks Acoustic to discuss sound insulation requirements for your building.
BS8233 (2014) – “Guidance on sound insulation and noise reduction for buildings” is the British Standard regularly referred to by Local Authority planning departments to ensure that residents of proposed new build or refurbished developments have adequate noise insulation and are suitably protected from noise outside of their building in order to achieve, for example, reasonable sleeping/resting conditions.
The Institute of Acoustics organised a seminar to hear experts opinion on the background of British Standard BS8233 and proposed changes about it. The draft revision of BS8233:2024 includes many important updates to align the assessment and design with current state of art practices in acoustics.
