A part extract from the introduction of the standard: ISO 22955:2021 provides technical guidance to achieve the acoustic quality of open office spaces to support dialogue and formal commitment between the various stakeholders involved in the planning, design, construction or layout of open-plan workspaces: end customers, project owners, prescribers, consultants, e.t.c.
The negative effects of noise on employee concentration, productivity, collaboration and wellbeing have been widely researched and reported. With the release of ISO 22955:2021, we now have a formal standardised guide for the acoustic performance of open-plan offices. It is expected that businesses that adopt this standard will benefit in terms of improved employee performance and wellbeing. The standard addresses the acoustic performance requirement for call centres, open office spaces, collaborative workspaces, individual workspaces, public receiving spaces and unknown use (vacant floor plates).
