Assessment criteria, satisfactory (1)

Can determine fire class, and find out the most central requirements for surface material, area, maximum number of personnel, supporting structures, sectioning and clearance. Know what building acoustic measurements consist of.

Familiar with the different fire classes for buildings and know which factors primarily influence the choice of fire class as well as the basic principles of building acoustics and outdoor noise.

Can perform a simple sectioning and fire classification for an object and choose solutions for noise protection.

Assessment criteria, good (3)

Can determine fire class, and find out what requirements are placed on surface material, area, maximum number of personnel, supporting structures, sectioning and clearance. Can choose a solution to secure acoustically satisfactory solutions and motivate the choice, and know what acoustic measurements can provide.
