General Information
Frequently Asked Questions
WG 1 is a Technical Committee within the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). It is named "TC 100/TA 19/WG 1". This committee has published 1136 standards.
WG 1 develops IEC standards in the area of Information technology. Currently, there are 1136 published standards from this technical committee.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is the world's leading organization for the preparation and publication of international standards for electrical, electronic, and related technologies. Founded in 1906, the IEC provides a global platform for companies, industries, and governments to meet, discuss, and develop the international standards they require.
A Technical Committee (TC) in IEC is a group of experts responsible for developing international standards in a specific technical area. TCs are composed of national member body delegates and work through consensus to create standards that meet global industry needs. Each TC may have subcommittees (SCs) and working groups (WGs) for specialized topics.
IEC 63296-3:2025 specifies the method for measuring the battery duration at a defined sound pressure level for continuous music playback of battery-operated wearable powered loudspeaker equipment. A primary battery or secondary battery can be used as a power source for such a shoulder-carried or body-worn loudspeaker and its composite device. In addition, only equipment that can be placed on or hung from a head and torso simulator (HATS) is covered. Bone conduction speakers are excluded. Portable loudspeaker equipment also supporting video playback as the main function is not covered by this document.

IEC 63296-2:2023 is applicable to active acoustic noise-cancelling headphones and earphones that have the function of reducing the ambient noise heard by the user by the level of the output sound from the transducer, which is generated by the ambient noise detection microphone and the noise reduction signal processing circuit.
This document covers headphones and earphones to be worn over-the-ear or in-ear, all of which are referred to as "headphones" in this document.
This document specifies the terms and definitions relating to battery duration of this type of headphones and the measurement and evaluation methods.
The noise-detection microphones are mounted in the body, on the surface, or on an accessory of the headphones. Signal-processing circuits are analogue and digital electronic circuits.
This document does not deal with equipment intended for hearing protection. It is also not applicable to music players, recorders, etc. that have a noise-cancelling function.
The battery duration measurement methods can be applied to headphones having no active noise-cancelling function.

IEC 63296-1:2021 specifies the methods for measuring the battery duration at defined sound pressure levels for continuous music playback of battery-powered loudspeaker equipment. A primary battery or secondary battery can be used as a power source for the loudspeaker and its composite equipment. In the case of composite equipment, this method for the measurement of battery duration can be applied under the condition of powered loudspeaker playback only.
