CAA Guide to Acoustic Standards

CAA is pleased to provide for free download the CAA Guide to Acoustic Standards. This document gives a brief summary of acoustical standards from many different standards organizations, in Canada and internationally, which the Standards Committee believes will be of especial interest and use to Canadian acousticians and others. It should provide sufficient information to allow users to decide whether a standard would be useful to them, and includes comments from a Canadian perspective plus links where many can be downloaded. Use of the standard is at the user’s risk as explained in Section 1.2 of the Guide.
