Breakthroughs in standardisation in Nordic countries
Nordic requirements and recommendations for acoustic conditions in buildings is a review document (in Swedish)
It provides a snapshot of the situation in the begenning of the 2000'es in the Nordic countries and reflects the large efforts put since then to create and improve standards for building performance. A large part of the documents quoted in the document are outdated or can be found in a newer version.
At this date, it is possible to express room acoustics requirements for most relevant buildings (i.e. offices, educational premises, health-care premises, hotels and dwelllings) in the Nordic countries.
Since the document was compiled, following documents addressing sound requirements have been created:

Vejledning om lydforhold i undervisnings- og daginstitutionsbyggeri, Erhvervs- og Byggestyrelsen, 10.05.2004
