This document provides technical guidance to achieve 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, etc.
It is applicable to all open-plan offices in which the following activities are performed:
— Space type 1: activity not known yet – vacant floor plate;
— Space type 2: activity mainly focusing on outside of the room communication (by telephone/audio/video);

It covers both the activities and the operations of the following stakeholders:
— end customers: diagnosis, survey, expression of needs in keeping with their knowledge in the area of acoustics;
