Acoustic labs conduct the IIC test using a tapping machine with steel faced hammers. These hammers strike a test floor material generating sounds between 125 Hz to 4,000 Hz.

The impact creates vibrations that travel through the floor into the receiving side (the room below).

SSC705 conducts Impact Insulation Class (IIC) testing in accordance with ASTM or ISO standards to verify compliance of constructions with design targets or regulatory guidelines where applicable.
