IEC 60645-3:2007

Specifies means of describing the physical characteristics of audiometric test and reference signals of short duration and methods for their measurement. The standard also specifies a psychoacoustic method of determining the level of the test signal in terms of hearing level. Requirements for the information to be given in an instruction manual are also included.

IEC 60645-3:2020 specifies a means of describing the physical characteristics, in terms of electrical waveforms, of audiometric reference and test signals of short duration and methods for their measurement. The object of this document is to ensure that audiometric stimuli of short duration are specified and measured in the same way and that the calibration of equipment using such signals is carried out using defined methods. This document does not describe the method of use of short-duration test signals. IEC 60645-3:2020 cancels and replaces the second edition published in 2007. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: a) new figures of reference signals; b) changes in definitions.
