3 SECTION 3 TEST METHOD(S) The specimen was evaluated in accordance with the following: ASTM E9-9 (216), Standard Test Method for Laboratory Measurement of Airborne Sound Transmission Loss of Building Partitions ASTM E413-16, Classification for Rating Sound Insulation ASTM E492-9(216)e1, Standard Test Method for Laboratory Measurement of Impact Sound Transmission Through Floor-Ceiling Assemblies Using the Tapping Machine ASTM E989-6 (212), Classification for Determination of Impact Insulation Class (IIC) ASTM E (212), Standard Test Method for Determination of Decay Rates for Use in Sound Insulation Test Methods SECTION 4 MATERIAL SOURCE/INSTALLATION The full test specimen was assembled on the day of testing by B&C. All materials provided by the client were installed on an existing B&C assembly (Open Web Truss mm) utilizing B&C-supplied materials. The assembly was installed in a steel test frame which was installed into the opening between the source and receive rooms in the test chamber. The test frame was isolated from the structure with dense neoprene gasket. The total weight of the floor/ceiling assembly was kg. B&C will store samples of the test specimen for four years. Photographs of the test specimen are included in the attachments. B&C will service this report for the entire test record retention period. Test records, such as detailed drawings, datasheets, representative samples of test specimens, or other pertinent project documentation, will be retained by B&C for the entire test record retention period.

5 SECTION 7 TEST PROCEDURE The microphones were calibrated before conducting the tests. The air temperature and relative humidity conditions were monitored and recorded during all measurements. The airborne transmission loss test was conducted in accordance with the ASTM E9 test method using the single direction method. Two background noise sound pressure level and five sound absorption measurements were conducted at each of five microphone positions. Four sound pressure level measurements were made simultaneously in both rooms, at each of five microphone positions. The impact sound transmission test was conducted in accordance with the ASTM E492 test method. Two background noise sound pressure level, two sound pressure level measurements with the tapping machine operating at each position specified by ASTM E492, and five sound absorption measurements were conducted at each of five microphone positions. Detailed test procedures, data for flanking limit tests, repeatability measurements, and reference specimen tests are available upon request. SECTION 8 TEST CALCULATIONS The STC (Sound Transmission Class) and IIC (Impact Insulation Class) ratings were calculated in accordance with ASTM E413 and ASTM E989, respectively. Page 5 of 12
