Bibliography

Provides recommendations for and guidance on the design, planning, installation, testing, operation and maintenance of an audio frequency induction loop system (AFILS) intended for communicating speech, music and/or other signals.

This British Standard gives recommendations for and guidance on the design, planning, installation, testing, operation and maintenance of an audio frequency induction loop system (AFILS) intended for communicating speech, music and/or other signals. It is mainly concerned with AFILS for hearing enhancement, in which the signals are communicated to users of hearing aids equipped with magnetic pick-up coils. However, most of the standard also applies to AFILS used for other purposes, and some additional information on these purposes is given in Section3.

This standard does not apply to induction-loop systems which use a carrier frequency, nor to other systems for hearing enhancement purposes which do not use magnetic induction.
