Abstract

In the US most architectural design and acoustical performance specifications are based on the ASTM International standards for Construction/Building & Environmental Acoustics. Those standards are developed as a responsibility of ASTM International committee E 33 on Building & Environmental Acoustics. The US is of course a participating member in the development of ISO standards through the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and this participation relative to standards in architectural acoustics is within ISO TC 43 SC2 which deals with building acoustics. The actual ISO standard development and voting responsibilities in the US rests with the ANSI Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to ISO TC43 SC2 which is delegated to ASTM International committee E 33.06 International Standards. This paper will present the process whereby international participation is involved in the development of both ASTM and ISO standards from the US perspective.
