ISO 3382-2:2008 specifies methods for the measurement of reverberation time in ordinary rooms. It describes the measurement procedure, the apparatus needed, the required number of measurement positions, and the method for evaluating the data and presenting the test report.

The measurement results can be used for correction of other acoustic measurements, e.g. sound pressure level from sound sources or measurements of sound insulation, and for comparison with requirements for reverberation time in rooms.
