Full title and description

KMK 2.01.08-96 — "Noise protection" (Russian: КМК 2.01.08-96, Защита от шума). National technical design norms and rules that set requirements, calculation methods and design measures for protection from environmental and industrial noise in buildings, workplaces, transport corridors and urban areas.

Abstract

KMK 2.01.08-96 provides planning and design guidance to ensure allowable sound pressure levels and indoor sound conditions through zoning, building envelope design, sound insulation of structures, layout measures, and external mitigation (barriers, landscaping, screening). The document defines assessment procedures, target sound limits for different types of premises and land use, calculation approaches for propagation and attenuation, and recommendations for noise-control measures during construction and operation.

Scope

Applies to the design and assessment of measures for protection against noise from industrial installations, technical building services, road/rail/air transport and other sources affecting residential, public and industrial buildings and urban territories. Includes requirements for allowable sound levels in rooms and at workplaces, methods of acoustic assessment, recommendations for structural sound insulation, external noise barriers and landscape noise-reduction measures, and guidance on noise control during construction and repair activities.

Key topics and requirements

• Target allowable noise levels and admissible sound pressure limits for different building types, premises and land-use zones.
• Methods for acoustic assessment: measurement and calculation procedures for sound propagation, equivalent continuous sound levels (Leq) and other descriptors.
• Design requirements for building envelope sound insulation (façade and glazing), ventilation/noise trade-offs, and internal partitioning.
• Requirements and guidance for external mitigation: noise barriers, berms, green belts, and placement of technical installations.
• Recommendations for noise zoning in urban planning and siting of noise-generating facilities relative to sensitive uses.
• Procedures for on-site acoustic measurements, instrumentation, and acceptance testing.
• Operational and construction-stage noise control measures and responsibilities for implementing protection measures.

Typical use and users

Used by acoustic and environmental engineers, building designers and architects, urban planners, transport engineers, construction firms, health and safety officers, municipal environmental authorities and permitting bodies. Applied for project design, environmental impact assessments, building detail specifications (façades, partitions, ventilation), and for setting/confirming compliance with permissible noise levels in new or renovated developments.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: KMK 2.01.08-96 is a national technical design document titled "Noise protection" that set rules, limits and design procedures for protecting people and buildings from harmful noise exposure. It was issued in 1996 and used in design and planning practice.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers allowable noise levels for various premises and land uses, methods for acoustic assessment (calculation and measurement), requirements for building envelope and partition sound insulation, external mitigation measures (barriers, planting), noise zoning and measures to limit construction and operational noise.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Architects, acoustic and environmental engineers, urban and transport planners, construction companies, building services designers, and regulatory or permitting authorities use it to design and verify noise-protection measures and to demonstrate compliance with permitted noise levels.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: KMK 2.01.08-96 has been superseded by a later edition identified as KMK 2.01.08-19 (the updated 2019-series KMK document). The 1996 edition was approved 21 August 1996 and came into force 1 January 1997; projects and regulatory practice should reference the currently active version (KMK 2.01.08-19) where that applies.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — KMK 2.01.08-96 belongs to the KMK series of technical design norms covering building and construction disciplines. The "2.01" group covers design rules for building engineering topics; related KMK documents address lighting, thermal engineering, ventilation, and other design areas. Updated KMK documents use the same numeric grouping with a later year suffix (for example KMK 2.01.08-19).

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Noise protection; acoustics; sound insulation; environmental noise; noise barriers; building acoustics; permissible sound levels; acoustic measurement; noise mitigation.
