Methods of testing and rating for static terminal attenuation; sound generation, upstream and downstream of the unit; radiation of sound from the casing.

This Part of this British Standard deals with methods of acoustic testing and rating of terminal reheat units, defined in Part 1 of the standard, for:

static terminal attenuation;
sound generation, upstream and downstream of the unit;
radiation of sound from the casing.
