IEC 60118-0:2022 gives recommendations for the measurement of the performance characteristics of air conduction hearing aids measured with an acoustic coupler or occluded ear simulator.
This document is applicable to the measurement and evaluation of the electroacoustical characteristics of hearing aids, for example for type testing and manufacturer data sheets.
This document is also applicable for the measurement of the performance characteristics of hearing aids for production, supply and delivery quality-assurance purposes.
The measurement results obtained by the methods specified in this document will express the performance under conditions of the measurement and can deviate substantially from the performance of the hearing aid under actual conditions of use.
This document primarily uses an acoustic coupler according to IEC 60318-5 which is only intended for loading a hearing aid with specified acoustic impedance and is not intended to reproduce the sound pressure in a person's ear. For measurements reflecting the output level in the normal human ear the occluded ear simulator according to IEC 60318-4 can be used. For extended high-frequency measurements and for deep insert hearing aids, the acoustic coupler according to IEC 60318-8 can be used.
This document also covers measurement of hearing aids with non-acoustic inputs, such as wireless, inductive or electrical input.
This document does not cover the measurement of hearing aids for simulated in situ working conditions, for which IEC 60118-8 can be applied.
This document does not cover the measurement of hearing aids under typical user settings and using a speech-like signal, for which IEC 60118-15 can be applied.
IEC 60118-0:2022 merges and updates the methods previously described in IEC 60118-0:2015 and IEC 60118-7:2005. It cancels and replaces the third edition of IEC 60118-0 published in 2015. This edition constitutes a technical revision.
Measurements for quality control as described in IEC 60118-7:2005 can be found in Clause 10 of this document.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to previous editions:
a) the default use of an acoustic coupler according to IEC 60318-5,
b) addition of the optional use of an occluded ear simulator according to IEC 60318-4,
c) addition of the optional use of an acoustic coupler according to IEC 60318-8 (new standard based on IEC TS 62886) when information about the response above 8 kHz is needed, or the optional use of the acoustic coupler according to IEC 60318-8 for deep insert hearing aids,
d) the addition of measurements of the performance of hearing aids for production, supply and delivery quality assurance purposes,
e) corrected and updated measurement configuration and methods, adding the use of a sequential measurement as preferred configuration,
f) updated and expanded measurement procedures for the non-acoustic inputs of the hearing aid.

This document specifies elements for achieving, by means of natural light, an adequate subjective impression of lightness indoors, and for providing an adequate view out. In addition, recommendations for the duration of sunshine exposure within occupied rooms are given.
This document gives information on how to use daylighting to provide lighting within interiors, and how to limit glare. This document defines metrics used for the evaluation of daylighting conditions and gives principles of calculation and verification. These principles allow to address the issue of variability of daylight over the days and the year.
This document applies to all spaces that may be regularly occupied by people for extended periods except where daylighting is contrary to the nature and role of the actual work done.
The specification of lighting requirements for humans in indoor work places including visual tasks are given in EN 12464-1 and are not part of this document.

This document specifies a range of requirements and recommendations for the elements of construction, building assemblies, components, fittings and products that relate to the design and constructional aspects of usability and accessibility of buildings, i.e. access to buildings, circulation within buildings, egress from buildings during normal conditions, and evacuation in the event of a fire.
This document also applies to the common spaces in multi-unit residential buildings. Recommendations regarding residential units are given in Annex A.
This document also contains provisions with respect to outdoor features directly concerned with access to a building or a group of buildings from a relevant site boundary, or between such a group of buildings within a common site. This document does not deal with elements of the external environment, such as public open spaces, whose function is self-contained and unrelated to the use of a specific building.
This document is applicable to new buildings and new work in existing buildings.
This document introduces the concept of ‘exceptional considerations for existing buildings’ for situations where it is exceptionally difficult to meet the requirements specified and, thus, impossible to provide full accessibility. By means of ‘exceptional considerations for existing buildings’, an acceptable, though restricted, level of accessibility is specified. An exceptional consideration for existing buildings is not to be applied in other situations or invoked in an unjustified manner, or as an excuse for not achieving a higher level of accessibility, where this is economically and/or technically feasible.
The dimensions stated in this document, relevant to the use of wheelchairs, are related to the footprint of commonly used wheelchair sizes and users as specified in ISOÂ 7176-5 and ISO/TRÂ 13570-2, 800Â mm wide and 1Â 300Â mm long.
This document is primarily written for adults with disabilities, but it includes some recommendations on specific accessibility needs of children.

This document specifies lighting requirements for humans in indoor work places, which meet the needs for visual comfort and performance of people having normal, or corrected to normal ophthalmic (visual) capacity. All usual visual tasks are considered, including Display Screen Equipment (DSE).
This document specifies requirements for lighting solutions for most indoor work places and their associated areas in terms of quantity and quality of illumination. In addition, recommendations are given for good lighting practice including visual and non-visual (non-image forming) lighting needs. This document does not specify lighting requirements with respect to the safety and health of people at work and has not been prepared in the field of application of Article 169 of Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union although the lighting requirements, as specified in this document, usually fulfil safety needs.
NOTE   Lighting requirements with respect to the safety and health of workers at work can be contained in Directives based on Article 169 of Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, in national legislation of member states implementing these directives or in other national legislation of member states.
This document neither provides specific solutions, nor restricts the designers´ freedom from exploring new techniques nor restricts the use of innovative equipment. The illumination can be provided by daylight, artificial lighting or a combination of both.
This document is not applicable for the lighting of outdoor work places and underground mining or emergency lighting. For outdoor work places, see EN 12464-2 and for emergency lighting, see EN 1838 and EN 13032-3.

1.1   This document specifies the safety rules for permanently installed new passenger or goods passenger lifts, with traction, positive or hydraulic drive, serving defined landing levels, having a car designed for the transportation of persons or persons and goods, suspended by ropes or chains or jacks and moving between guide rails inclined not more than 15° to the vertical.
1.2   In addition to the requirements of this document, supplementary requirements shall be considered in special cases (use of lifts by persons with disabilities, in case of fire, potentially explosive atmosphere, extreme climate conditions, seismic conditions, transporting dangerous goods, etc.).
1.3   This document does not cover:
a)   lifts with:
1)   drive systems other than those stated in 1.1;
2)   rated speed ≤ 0,15 m/s;
b)   hydraulic lifts:
1)   with a rated speed exceeding 1 m/s;
2)   where the setting of the pressure relief valve exceeds 50 MPa (5.9.3.5.3);
c)   new passenger or goods passenger lifts in existing buildings  ) where in some circumstances due to limitations enforced by building constraints, some requirements of EN 81 20 cannot be met and EN 81 21 should be considered;
d)   lifting appliances, such as paternosters, mine lifts, theatrical lifts, appliances with automatic caging, skips, lifts and hoists for building and public works sites, ships' hoists, platforms for exploration or drilling at sea, construction and maintenance appliances or lifts in wind turbines;
e)   important modifications (see Annex C) to a lift installed before this standard is brought into application;
f)   safety during operations of transport, erection, repairs, and dismantling of lifts.
However, this standard may usefully be taken as a basis.
Noise and vibrations are not dealt with in this standard as they are not found at levels which could be considered as harmful with regard to the safe use and maintenance of the lift (see also 0.4.1).
1.4   This document is not applicable to passenger and goods passenger lifts which are installed before the date of its publication as EN.
2) Existing building is a building which is used or was already used before the order for the lift was placed. A building whose internal structure is completely renewed is considered as a new building.

This standard specifies the design rules, calculations, examinations and tests of lift components which are referred to by other standards used for the design of passenger lifts, goods passenger lifts, goods only lifts, and other similar types of lifting appliances.

Standard je namenjen prostorskim načrtovalcem kot eno od izhodišč za načrtovanje odprtega
prostora, dostopnega za vse uporabnike. Z upoštevanjem standarda se lahko izboljša gibanje ljudi z
okvarami vida, posledično pa tudi njihova samostojnost in kakovost življenja. Standard temelji na
nacionalnih in mednarodnih dokumentih, ki predvidevajo enakopravnost vseh ljudi ne glede na njihove
različne sposobnosti in zmožnosti. Dostopnost grajenega okolja je eden od ključnih vidikov, ki lahko to
enakopravnost omogočijo.

This part of IEC 60118 is applicable to audio-frequency induction-loop systems producing an
alternating magnetic field at audio frequencies and intended to provide an input signal for
hearing aids operating with an induction pick-up coil (telecoil). Throughout this standard, it is
assumed that the hearing aids used with it conform to all relevant parts of IEC 60118.
This standard specifies requirements for the field strength in audio-frequency induction loops
for hearing aid purposes, which will give adequate signal-to-noise ratio without overloading
the hearing aid. The standard also specifies the minimum frequency response requirements
for acceptable intelligibility.
Methods for measuring the magnetic field strength are specified, and information is given on
appropriate measuring equipment (see Annex B), information that should be provided to the
operator and users of the system (see Annex C), and other important considerations.
This standard does not specify requirements for loop driver amplifiers or associated
microphone or audio signal sources, which are dealt with in IEC 62489-1, or for the field
strength produced by equipment, such as telephone handsets, within the scope of ITU-T
P.370.

This part of ISO 4190 specifies the control devices, buttons and indicators to be provided when a lift (US: elevator) is constructed and installed, taking into account the type of control intended for the lift and also ensuring the ease of access for disabled persons (motor and/or sensory). Annex B gives particular requirements for access. The description of the controls is given only in order to define the buttons and indicators. It does not constitute a complete description of these controls nor does it attempt to standardize them. This part of ISO 4190 also specifies the requirements for handrails when provided in the car. It is applicable to lifts of classes I to IV and VI as defined in ISO 4190-1 and ISO 4190-2. Group collective lifts have common controls and are electrically interconnected so as to provide a better service and for reasons of economy. The system can be more or less complex according to the number of lifts and the expected traffic. Consequently, this part of ISO 4190 does not deal with supplementary signals which the manufacturer may consider useful (e.g. "next car", "stand clear of the doors"). The following are not dealt with in this part of ISO 4190: a) special features (and their corresponding signals), such as certain features for improving the service of bed lifts, touch screens or voice activators; b) any devices for speeding the traffic in the case of automatic doors (variable time delays according to different criteria, closing button, light ray, etc.). The requirements of this part of ISO 4190 are intended to be followed in all cases where the controls and the basic signals are concerned, and can also be used as a guide in developing supplementary signals.

IEC 60118-15:2012 specifies a test signal designed to represent normal speech, the International Speech Test Signal (ISTS), together with the procedures and the requirements for measuring the characteristics of signal processing in air-conduction hearing aids. The measurements are used to derive the estimated insertion gain (EIG). For the purposes of characterizing a hearing aid for production, supply and delivery, the procedures and requirements to derive the coupler gain on a 2 cm³ coupler as defined in IEC 60318-5 are also specified. The purpose of this standard is to ensure that the same measurements made on a hearing aid following the procedures described, and using equipment complying with these requirements, give substantially the same results. Measurement methods that take into account the acoustic coupling of a hearing aid to the individual ear and the acoustic influence of the individual anatomical variations of an end-user on the acoustical performance of the hearing aid, known as real-ear measurements, are outside the scope of this particular standard.

This part of IEC 60118 gives recommendations for the measurement of the performance characteristics of air-conduction hearing aids of a particular model for production, supply and delivery quality assurance purposes. The manufacturer will normally assign nominal values. This standard does not relate to mechanical or environmental tests. It should not be used as the basis for the exchange of information about hearing aid characteristics in general, nor is it intended to be used as a predictor for real-ear performance. Though the number of measurements covered by this standard is limited, it is not intended that all measurements described herein shall be made in every case. This second edition now specifies performance requirements. Conformance to the specifications in this standard is demonstrated only when the result of a measurement, extended by the actual expanded uncertainty of measurement of the testing laboratory, lies fully within the tolerances specified in this standard extended by the values for Umax given in Table 4. In case of custom-made in-the-ear instruments, the data supplied by the manufacturer applies only to the particular hearing aid being tested.

The purpose of this part of IEC 60118 is to describe methods for a test which simulates the acoustical effects of a median adult wearer on the performance of a hearing aid. It establishes certain guidelines for simulated in situ measurements of hearing aids; it describes a simplified method for simulated in situ measurements of hearing aids and a description for determination of the directivity index (DI) of directional microphones in hearing aids in the horizontal plane. In addition this second edition now specifies tolerances. Conformance to the specifications in this International Standard is demonstrated only when the result of a measurement, extended by the actual expanded uncertainty of measurement of the testing laboratory, lies fully within the tolerances specified in this International Standard extended by the values for Umax .

Adds a new clause 10 to IEC 60118-2 second edition : Frequency response of hearing heads with AGC circuits in operation using steady-state broad-band signals.

Gives uniform methods for specifying dynamic and static performance characteristics of hearing aids with automatic gain control circuits together with the relevant methods of measurement for these characteristics.

Specifies the electrical and safety characteristics of a circuit for an external electrical input to a personal hearing aid in order to ensure compatibility with external electrical or electroacoustic signal sources. In this standard, the hearing aid may include an adaptor (audio shoe) which incorporates connector systems described in EN 60118-12.

Applies to plugs and connector systems for hearing aids and specifies the dimensions and their tolerances for ensuring interchangeability.

Specifies the electrical and mechanical requirements for a digital interface device to allow a general-purpose control device such as a desktop computer to be connected to hearing aids, for the purpose of electrical setting of their operating parameters. Provides a specification such that all hearing aids which can be programmed by the specified digital interface device may have their parameters set by a single control device and interface device.
