IEC 61252:2025 specifies – performance specifications for personal sound exposure meters, – details of the tests necessary to verify conformance to all mandatory specifications for the purpose of pattern evaluation, and – procedures for periodic testing of a personal sound exposure meter. Personal sound exposure meters conforming to the requirements of this document have a specified frequency response for sound incident on the microphone from all directions. This document is applicable to instruments that are designed to be worn on a person in a configuration specified by the manufacturer for the measurement of sound immission resulting from steady, intermittent, fluctuating, irregular, or impulsive sounds. For reproducibility of results, specifications and tests for the response to sound waves apply without an operator present in the sound field. Pattern evaluation tests and periodic tests described in this this document apply to personal sound exposure meters for which the manufacturer claims conformance to the specifications given in this document. IEC 61252:2025 cancels and replaces the first edition published in 1993, Amendment 1:2000, and Amendment 2:2017. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) personal sound exposure meters are required to provide indications of time-averaged sound level and peak sound level; b) sound exposure is an optional quantity for indication; c) specifications for physical quantities that do not follow the principle of equal-energy exchange rate have been added; d) specifications for directional response have been added; e) specifications for frequency weightings apply to the relative diffuse-field frequency response; f) determination of conformance to specifications takes account of uncertainties of measurement; g) detailed requirements for pattern-evaluation tests and periodic testing have been added.

IEC 60645-7:2025 applies to instruments designed for the measurement of auditory evoked potentials from the inner ear, the auditory nerve, and the brainstem, evoked by either acoustic or vibratory stimuli of short duration. This document defines the characteristics to be specified by the manufacturer, specifies performance requirements for two types of instruments (screening and diagnostic/clinical), and specifies the functions to be provided on these types. It also specifies a means of describing the physical characteristics, in terms of electrical waveforms, of audiometric reference and test signals of short duration used with auditory evoked potential equipment and other equipment (e.g. otoacoustic emission instruments), and methods for their measurement. The purpose of this document is to ensure that measurements made under comparable test conditions with different instruments complying with this document will be consistent. This document is not intended to restrict development or incorporation of new features, nor to discourage innovative approaches. Evoked response measurement using the application of electric stimuli to a subject is beyond the scope of this document.

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.
