ASTM International’s committee on building and environmental acoustics ( E33 ) is developing a new standard guide for estimating the accuracy of acoustic test methods through interlaboratory studies (ILS). These acoustic test methods are used to measure acoustical performance of products like doors, windows, and wall systems, to compare amongst them and to develop new products. This new standard…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Kelly Paul, tel +1.610.832.9666; kpaul@astm.org Release #11498 ###
