Since 2000 it has been compulsory to use European acoustic criteria in France. This means that requirements as formulated in French regulations must be expressed using those European criteria. The applicable regulation pertaining to façade sound isolation with regards to land based transport noise is dated May 30, 1996. Accordingly it had to be revised. This was an opportunity to make improvements on the following points: clarification of the simplified method, coherence with the thermal regulation, and introduction of isolation requirements with regards to air traffic noise. This paper will submit the modifications introduced by the soon to be published regulation.
