Provides a method for the measurement of airborne sound reduction index to building partitions such as walls, floor/ceiling assemblies, doors, windows and other space dividing elements.

AS ISO 717.2:2024 identically adopts ISO 717 2:2020, which provides a method whereby the frequency dependent values of impact sound insulation of building elements and in buildings (from both laboratory and field measurements) can be converted into a single number to characterize the acoustical performance

Sets out test procedures and criteria for the determination of fire-resistance of elements of building construction.

Provides a glossary of terms to be used in connection with fire testing; also refers to deprecated terms which should not be used in connection with fire testing.

Sets out a hot smoke test methodology by means of which a specified quantity of smoke may be generated, at a safe temperature, within a building.

Specifies requirements for the performance and construction of air filters for use in general ventilation and airconditioning systems. It classifies air filters on the basis of design, construction performance and application and establishes minimum criteria for acceptance of an air filter into a particular category. It does not apply to HEPA filters.

Sets out requirements for inspection, testing, preventive maintenance and survey of fire protection systems and equipment.

Specifies the classification of smoke-spill fans, and the laboratory test methods and procedures used to rate their performance (and that of their motors). Fans are rated in terms of their suitability to operate continuously without significant loss of performance, for a specified time at a specified air temperature. This Standard deals only with laboratory type-testing and does not consider the testing of smoke-spill fans after they have been installed in a building.

Provides designers of structures with earthquake actions and general detailing requirements for use in the design of structures subject to earthquakes with a primary focus on life safety.
