Field Floor Impact Certification Tests for body corporate by laws and building code certification field testing. We use a “tapping machine” to strike a floor surface and measure the transmitted noise below the impact testing machine. A useful rating guide to make sense of floor impact numbers can be found at the Association of Australian Acoustical Consultants website (Ref: AAAC Guideline for Apartment and Townhouse Acoustic Rating 2010)
