[Current]Acoustics — Measurement of sound absorption in a reverberation room
Adopts ISO 354:2003 to specify a method of measuring the sound absorption coefficient of acoustical materials used as wall or ceiling treatments, or the equivalent sound absorption area of objects, such as furniture, persons or space absorbers, in a reverberation room.
