TÜV SÜD’s acoustics testing services
TÜV SÜD offers comprehensive acoustics testing services and sound insulation testing solutions to help businesses evaluate and optimise acoustic performance across products and buildings.
Our acoustic testing service is based on recognised measurement methods, including:
- Sound reduction index (Rw): A laboratory method used to assess airborne sound insulation of building elements such as walls, floors, roofs, doors, and windows
- Sound transmission loss (ASTM E90): Measures how effectively materials block sound and determines the Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating of architectural products
TÜV SÜD operates one of the most advanced noise testing labs in Southeast Asia, delivering reliable and globally recognised acoustic testing in compliance with international standards such as ISO, ASTM, BS, IEC, and national regulations.
Our acoustics testing services include:
- Noise isolation class testing (NIC, FNIC) for laboratory and on-site applications
- Airborne sound insulation testing (Rw / STC)
- Impact sound insulation testing (IIC / FIIC)
- Reverberation time (RT) and noise criteria (NC) measurements
- Sound attenuation testing for noise barriers and office screens
- Sports hall acoustic performance testing (FSTC, FIIC, NC, RT)
- Field acoustics testing for airborne and impact sound insulation (FSTC, FIIC)
- Sound absorption testing (NRC, SAA)
- Sound power level and sound pressure level testing for equipment and products

Frequently asked questions
What is acoustic testing?
What local regulations require acoustics testing in Singapore?
Is TÜV SÜD’s acoustics testing laboratory accredited?
How do acoustics testing services support BCA Green Mark?
Acoustics testing services support BCA Green Mark certification by verifying indoor environmental quality through sound insulation testing and noise performance.
Key contributions include:
- Measuring reverberation time (RT) and noise levels
- Validating acoustic comfort in buildings
- Supporting certification requirements
Accurate acoustic testing helps improve building ratings and occupant wellbeing.
What is the difference between STC and NRC in acoustic testing?
In acoustic testing, STC and NRC measure different properties:
- STC (Sound Transmission Class): Measures how well materials block sound
- NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient): Measures how well surfaces absorb sound
Both are essential in sound insulation testing to optimise building and product performance.
Can TÜV SÜD perform on-site acoustics testing?
Yes, TÜV SÜD provides both laboratory and on-site acoustics testing services.
Our acoustic testing service includes:
- Field measurements of airborne and impact noise
- On-site sound insulation testing
- Environmental and building noise assessments
