Ergonomics - Accessible design - Sound pressure levels of auditory signals for consumer products (ISO 24501:2010)
ISO 24501:2010 specifies methods for determining the sound pressure level range of auditory signals so that the users of consumer products, including people with age-related hearing loss, can hear the signal properly in the presence of interfering sounds.
Auditory signals, in ISO 24501:2010, refer to sounds with a fixed frequency (also called beep sounds) and do not include variable frequency sounds, melodic sounds, or voice guides.
ISO 24501:2010 is applicable to auditory signals which are heard at an approximate maximum distance of 4 m from the product, as long as no physical barrier exists between the product and the user. It is not applicable to auditory signals heard through a head receiver or earphones, or to those heard with the ear located very near to the sound source because of the interference of the head with sound propagation.
ISO 24501:2010 does not specify the sound pressure level of auditory signals regulated by other statutes, such as those for fire alarms, gas leakages and crime prevention, nor does it specify auditory signals particular to a communication tool such as telephones.
ISO 24501:2010 does not specify auditory danger signals for public or work areas which are covered in ISO 7731, ISO 8201, and ISO 11429.
Ergonomie - Zugängliche Gestaltung - Schalldruckpegel von akustischen Signalen für Konsumgüter (ISO 24501:2010)
Diese Internationale Norm legt Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Schalldruckpegelbereiches akustischer Signale
fest, so dass diese für Anwender von Konsumgütern, einschließlich Menschen mit altersbedingtem Hörverlust,
auch bei störenden Geräuschen deutlich hörbar sind.
Akustische Signale in dieser Internationalen Norm beziehen sich auf Töne mit fester Frequenz (auch als
Pieptöne bezeichnet) und schließen Töne mit veränderlichen Frequenzen, melodische Klänge oder
Sprachsteuerungssysteme nicht mit ein.
Diese Internationale Norm gilt für akustische Signale in höchstens 4 m Abstand vom Produkt, unter der
Bedingung, dass keine Trennung zwischen dem Produkt und dem Anwender besteht. Sie gilt nicht für
akustische Signale, die über Kopf- oder Ohrhörer oder mit dem Ohr in der direkten Nähe der Schallquelle
gehört werden, aufgrund der Beeinträchtigung des Kopfes durch die Schallausbreitung.
Diese Internationale Norm legt weder den Schalldruckpegel von akustischen Signalen fest, die anderen
Vorschriften unterliegen, z. B. Alarmtöne für Feuer, Gasaustritt und Überfall, noch von akustischen Signalen
speziell für Kommunikationsmittel wie Telefone.
Diese Internationale Norm legt keine akustischen Gefahrensignale für öffentliche Bereiche oder Arbeitsstätten
fest, die in ISO 7731, ISO 8201 und ISO 11429 behandelt werden.
Ergonomie - Conception accessible - Niveaux de pression acoustique des signaux auditifs pour produits de consommation courante (ISO 24501:2010)
L'ISO 24501:2010 spécifie des méthodes destinées à déterminer la plage de niveau de pression acoustique de signaux auditifs de sorte que les utilisateurs de produits de consommation courante, y compris les personnes sujettes à une perte auditive liée au vieillissement, puissent correctement entendre les signaux en la présence de sons parasites.
Les signaux auditifs, dans l'ISO 24501:2010, désignent des sons à fréquence fixe (également appelés bips) et n'incluent pas les sons à fréquence variable, les mélodies ou les instructions vocales.
L'ISO 24501:2010 est applicable aux signaux auditifs qui sont entendus à une distance maximale d'environ 4 m du produit tant qu'il n'existe pas d'obstacle physique entre le produit et l'utilisateur. Elle n'est pas applicable à des signaux auditifs entendus par le biais d'un écouteur ou d'un casque téléphonique ou bien à ceux entendus lorsque l'oreille se trouve très proche de la source sonore à cause de l'interférence de la tête avec la propagation du son.
L'ISO 24501:2010 ne spécifie pas le niveau de pression acoustique des signaux auditifs réglementés par d'autres statuts comme ceux pour les alarmes incendie, les fuites de gaz et la prévention des crimes ni ne spécifie de signaux auditifs particuliers pour un outil de communication, par exemple des téléphones.
L'ISO 24501:2010 ne spécifie pas de signaux auditifs de danger pour les zones publiques ou de travail qui sont couverts dans l'ISO 7731, l'ISO 8201 et l'ISO 11429.
Ergonomija - Dostopno načrtovanje - Ravni zvočnega tlaka slišnih signalov za proizvode, namenjene potrošnikom (ISO 24501:2010)
Ta mednarodni standard določa metode določanja ravni zvočnega tlaka slišnih signalov, tako da uporabniki proizvodov, namenjenih potrošnikom, vključno ljudje z izgubo sluha zaradi starosti, lahko pravilno slišijo signal ob prisotnosti motečih zvokov. Slišni signali se v tem mednarodnem standardu nanašajo na zvoke s fiksno frekvenco (imenovano tudi piskajoči zvoki) in ne vključujejo zvokov s spremenljivo frekvenco, melodične zvoke ali govorno vodilo. Ta mednarodni standard velja za slišne signale, ki se slišijo pri približni največji razdalji 4 m od proizvoda, če med proizvodom in uporabnikom ni fizične ovire. Ne velja za slišne signale, ki se slišijo prek naglavnega sprejemnika ali ušesnih slušal, oziroma za tiste, ki se slišijo z ušesom v neposredni bližini vira zvoka zaradi motenj, ki jih povzroča glava pri širjenju zvoka. Ta mednarodni standard ne določa ravni zvočnega tlaka slišnih signalov, ki ga urejajo drugi predpisi, kot so tisti za požarne alarme, puščanje plina in preprečevanje kriminala niti slišnih signalov, ki so značilni za komunikacijska orodja, kot so telefoni. Ta mednarodni standard ne določa slišnih signalov za nevarnost za javna ali delovna območja, ki so zajeti v ISO 7731, ISO 8201 in ISO 11429.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 24501 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 159, Ergonomics, Subcommittee SC 5,

Introduction
People conduct their daily lives surrounded by various consumer products. Consumer products, as defined in
ISO 20282-1, include home electrical appliances, information and telecommunication products, gas-heating
equipment, toys, sanitary equipment, and health-care products, many of which use auditory signals. These
auditory signals can be indistinct because of the hearing loss which occurs with ageing or because of
interfering sounds in the surroundings. Also, with age, our visual ability declines gradually. Auditory signals
with an appropriate sound level can assist product users with auditory or visual impairment in using the
product correctly and safely.
This International Standard specifies methods for determining an appropriate sound level range of auditory
signals, so that all product users, including people with age-related hearing loss, can hear them properly
against interfering sounds. This sound level range specification was determined, based on results of
experiments in which people of all ages participated. Auditory signals whose sound pressure level is in that
range are expected to be audible and comfortably loud for most users in the presence of interfering sounds.
This International Standard should be applied as appropriate to products, depending on the product type and
its conditions of use. It does not apply to machines and equipment used for professional work.
This International Standard adopts the principles of accessible design given in ISO/IEC Guide 71 and
amplified in ISO/TR 22411.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 24501:2010(E)
Ergonomics — Accessible design — Sound pressure levels of
auditory signals for consumer products
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies methods for determining the sound pressure level range of auditory
signals so that the users of consumer products, including people with age-related hearing loss, can hear the
signal properly in the presence of interfering sounds.
Auditory signals, in this International Standard, refer to sounds with a fixed frequency (also called beep
sounds) and do not include variable frequency sounds, melodic sounds, or voice guides.
This International Standard is applicable to auditory signals which are heard at an approximate maximum
distance of 4 m from the product, as long as no physical barrier exists between the product and the user. It is
not applicable to auditory signals heard through a head receiver or earphones, or to those heard with the ear
located very near to the sound source because of the interference of the head with sound propagation.
This International Standard does not specify the sound pressure level of auditory signals regulated by other
statutes, such as those for fire alarms, gas leakages and crime prevention, nor does it specify auditory signals
particular to a communication tool such as telephones.
This International Standard does not specify auditory danger signals for public or work areas which are
covered in ISO 7731, ISO 8201, and ISO 11429.
