Electroacoustics - Audiometric equipment - Part 6: Instruments for the measurement of otoacoustic emissions

IEC 60645-6:2009 applies to instruments designed primarily for the measurement of otoacoustic emissions in the human external acoustic meatus evoked by acoustic probe pulses or tones. This standard defines the characteristics to be specified by the manufacturer, lays down performance specifications for two types of instruments and specifies the functions to be provided on these types. IEC 60645-6:2009 describes methods of test to be used for approval testing and guidance on methods for undertaking routine calibration. The purpose of IEC 60645-6:2009 is to ensure that measurements made under comparable test conditions with different instruments complying with the standard will be consistent. Instruments which provide a measurement function not specifically within the scope of the standard shall still comply with any relevant requirements. This standard is not intended to restrict development or incorporation of new features, nor to discourage innovative approaches.

Electroacoustique - Appareillage audiométrique - Partie 6: Instruments pour la mesure des émissions otoacoustiques

La CEI 60645-6:2009 s'applique aux instruments conçus principalement pour la mesure des émissions otoacoustiques dans le conduit auditif externe humain qui sont évoquées par des impulsions ou des sons provenant d'une sonde acoustique. La présente norme définit les caractéristiques qui doivent être spécifiées par le fabricant, établit des spécifications de performance pour deux types d'instruments et spécifie les fonctionnalités à prévoir sur ces deux types. La CEI 60645-6:2009 décrit les méthodes d'essai à utiliser pour les essais d'homologation et des lignes directrices pour réaliser l'étalonnage de routine. La CEI 60645-6:2009 a pour objet d'assurer que des mesures réalisées dans des conditions d'essai comparables avec différents instruments conformes à cette norme seront cohérentes. Les instruments qui assurent une fonction de mesure qui n'entre pas spécifiquement dans le domaine d'application de la présente norme doivent toujours être conformes aux exigences les concernant quelles qu'elles soient. Cette norme n'est pas destinée à limiter le développement ou l'ajout de nouvelles caractéristiques ni à décourager les approches innovantes.

Elektroakustika - Avdiometrična oprema - 6. del: Instrumenti za merjenje ušesnoakustičnih emisij (IEC 60645-6:2009)

Ta del IEC 60645 velja za instrumente, ki so namenjeni predvsem za merjenje ušesnoakustičnih emisij v človeškem zunanjem sluhovodu, ki jih vzbujajo impulzi ali toni akustičnih sond. Ta standard določa lastnosti, ki jih mora navesti proizvajalec, predpisuje specifikacije zmogljivosti za dve vrsti instrumentov in določa funkcije, ki jih morata ti vrsti izpolnjevati. Ta del IEC 60645 opisuje preskusne metode, ki se morajo uporabljati za homologacijsko preskušanje, in vodilo za metode pri izvajanju rutinske kalibracije. Namen tega dela IEC 60645 je zagotoviti, da so meritve, ki se opravljajo pod primerljivimi preskusnimi pogoji z različnimi instrumenti v skladu s standardom, med seboj skladne. Instrumenti za merjenje, ki ni specifično za okvir uporabe tega standarda, morajo še vedno izpolnjevati vse ustrezne zahteve. Ta standard ni namenjen ne omejevanju razvoja ali vključevanju novih funkcij ne odvračanju od inovativnih pristopov.

FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable
