Description
In accordance with PUS007 – Equipment and Calibration Requirements, every 2 years SITMA Certified Members are required to check their equipment.
Across the year, The Building Performance Hub offers all 3 services in a single day, including same day reporting. You will have a 90 minute slot to carry out these requirements.
Requirements Covered:
Speaker Directivity Testing:
Ensuring that speakers used in sound insulation testing accurately direct sound waves. This test verifies that your speakers conform to the specific standards required for precise and consistent sound insulation measurements.
Speaker Stability Testing:
Checks the consistency of your speakers’ sound output. This testing is crucial to maintain the integrity of your sound insulation testing, ensuring that results are reliable and reproducible over time.
Tapping Machine ‘One-Off’ Checks (in accordance with BS EN ISO 140-7:1998):
We conduct checks of your tapping machines as per the standards set in BS EN ISO 140-7:1998. This ensures that the impact sound insulation tests are conducted with equipment that meets the strict criteria for accuracy and performance.
Fees
The cost to conduct all 4 checks is £400+VAT and is limited to 4 spaces a day. BCTA will charge an additional £100+VAT for each additional tapping machine and speaker that is measured (this will be invoiced separately)
