Pre-Completion Sound Insulation Testing...

The current edition of Building Regulations Part E came into force on 1 July 2003 and introduced pre-completion testing (PCT) for sound insulation as a means of demonstrating compliance for all residential developments.

The new regulations state that pre-completion sound insulation tests should be carried out by independently accredited organisations. H&H Acoustic Consultancy Division is approved under the ANC Registration scheme for carrying out such tests. The ANC scheme ensures sound insulation tests are carried out by suitably qualified and experienced staff, in accordance with the appropriate standards, are properly traceable and audited and include a fully documented report and certificate which will be easily recognised for approval by building control.

Acoustic advice on construction details, such as Robust Standard Details (the only alternative to Pre-Completion Sound Insulation Testing ) and internal room finishes can be provided in order to ensure the standards set out in Approved Document E are satisfied before construction begins. In the case of failures, Hodgson & Hodgson can offer advice on remedial acoustic works.

Pre-completion sound insulation tests are available throughout the UK.
