1 FOR: Spartanburg, SC Sound Absorption CONDUCTED: Page 1 of 9 ON: R_ A EFFL61W Fabric over 2 in. fiberglass insulation TEST METHOD Riverbank Acoustical Laboratories is accredited by the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) as an ISO 17025:2005 Laboratory (NVLAP Lab Code: ) and for this test procedure. The test reported in this document conformed explicitly with ASTM C423-17: "Standard Test Method for Sound Absorption and Sound Absorption Coefficients by the Reverberation Room Method." The specimen mounting was performed according to ASTM E795-16: "Standard Practices for Mounting Test Specimens During Sound Absorption Tests." A description of the measuring procedure and room qualifications is available upon request. DESCRIPTION OF THE SPECIMEN The test specimen was designated by the manufacturer as R_ A EFFL61W Fabric over 2 in. fiberglass insulation. A full internal inspection performed on the test specimen by Riverbank personnel verified the manufacturer's description.

6 Page 6 of 9 TEST RESULTS (Continued) The sound absorption average (SAA) is defined in ASTM C Section as the average, rounded to the nearest integer multiple of 0.01, of the sound absorption coefficients of a material for the twelve one-third octave bands from 200 Hz through 2500 Hz, inclusive. The noise reduction coefficient (NRC) is defined from previous versions of ASTM C423 as the average of the sound absorption coefficients at 250 Hz, 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, and 2000 Hz, expressed to the nearest integer multiple of Tested by Marc Sciaky Experimentalist Report by Malcolm Kelly Acoustician Approved by Eric P.
