AS IEC 60645.1-2002

This part of IEC 60645 specifies general requirements for audiometers and particularrequirements for pure-tone audiometers designed for use in determining hearing thresholdlevels, in comparison with standard reference threshold levels by means of psychoacoustictest methods.The object of this International Standard is to ensure:a) that tests of hearing, particularly threshold, in the frequency range 125 Hz to 8 000 Hz ona given human ear performed with different audiometers which comply with this International Standard using methods described in ISO 8253-1 and ISO 6189 shall give substantially the same results;b) that the results obtained represent a valid comparison between the hearing of the eartested and the reference threshold of hearing;c) that audiometers are classified according to the range of test signals they generate,according to the mode of operation or according to the complexity of the range of auditoryfunctions they test.
