Comfort Distance—A Single-Number Quantity Describing Spatial Attenuation in Open-Plan Offices [PDF]
ISO 3382-3 is globally used to determine the room acoustic conditions of open-plan offices using in situ measurements. The key outcomes of the standard are three single-number quantities: distraction distance, rD, A-weighted sound pressure level of ...

Precision of ISO 3382-2 and ISO 3382-3 – A Round-Robin test in an open-plan office
Abstract International standards ISO 3382-2 and ISO 3382-3 are increasingly applied to determine the room acoustic conditions in open-plan offices because attention to noise control in such workplaces has increased. The precision of those standards in open-plan offices has not been published.
