Protection against noise (Boverkets föreskrifter om skydd mot buller i byggnader); (10 page(s), in Swedish)

Boverket – the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning proposes new regulations on protection against noise in buildings.

The proposed regulations specify the technical property requirement in ch. 3. Section 13 of the Planning and Building Ordinance (2011:338), PBF, that buildings must be designed and constructed in such a way that noise, perceived by the users or other persons in the vicinity of the building, is at a level that does not entail an unacceptable risk for these persons' health and, which enables, sleep, rest and work under satisfactory conditions.
