To create a level playing field for the declaration and verification of the acoustic performance of products, the Finishes and Interior Sector (FIS) has created the Acoustic Verification Scheme for operable walls and glazed partitions. Verification is at a product, not company, level and is designed to eliminate misinformation and misleading information when declaring acoustic performance.

The FIS Acoustic Verification Scheme allows designers, architects and contractors to specify products, safe in the knowledge that products are appropriately tested and have achieved the acoustic performance claimed. The FIS Acoustic Verification Scheme has been created in partnership with the acoustic team at multi-disciplinary consultants Cundall.

The FIS Acoustic Verification Scheme takes manufacturers’ test reports and assessments and runs a series of thorough checks to verify the data is accurate and compliant with the criteria (conditions and dimensions). The scheme has been created to enable best practice and prevent inaccurate or misleading information from undermining the market and responsible manufacturers and suppliers.
