This part of IEC 60318 describes a head and torso simulator, or manikin, intended for the measurement of sound sources placed close to the ear in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 16 000 Hz. The manikin described in this part of IEC 60318 is intended for airborne acoustic measurements only. It is not suitable for measurements which depend upon vibration transmission paths such as bone conduction, or for measurements requiring the simulation of bone or tissue. This document specifies the manikin in terms of both its geometrical dimensions and its acoustical properties. For conformance with this document, a manikin shall be compliant with both sets of specifications.

Elektroakustika - Simulatorji človeške glave in ušes - 7. del: Simulator glave in trupa za merjenje zvočnih virov blizu ušes (IEC 60318-7:2022)
Ta del standarda IEC 60318 opisuje simulator glave in trupa ali preskusno lutko, namenjeno za merjenje zvočnih virov blizu ušes v frekvenčnem območju od 100 do 16.000 Hz.
Preskusna lutka, opisana v tem delu standarda IEC 60318, je namenjena samo za merjenje zvokov v zraku. Ni primerna za meritve, ki so odvisne od poti prenosa vibracij (npr. kostna prevodnost zvoka), ali meritve, pri katerih se zahteva simulacija kosti ali tkiva.
Ta dokument določa preskusno lutko tako z vidika njenih geometrijskih dimenzij kot akustičnih lastnosti. Preskusna lutka mora biti skladna z obema nizoma specifikacij, da se zagotovi skladnost s tem dokumentom.
General Information
Overview
EN IEC 60318-7:2022 (published by CLC/CENELEC) is part of the IEC 60318 series on electroacoustics. It defines a head and torso simulator (HATS) or manikin intended for the measurement of sound sources placed close to the ear. The standard covers airborne acoustic measurements in the frequency range 100 Hz to 16 000 Hz and specifies the manikin in terms of both geometrical dimensions and acoustical properties. For conformance, a manikin must meet both sets of requirements.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and use: Designed specifically for near-ear, airborne acoustic measurements; not suitable for vibration-dependent measurements such as bone conduction or simulations that require bone/tissue modeling.
- Frequency range: Standardized measurement capabilities specified from 100 Hz to 16 kHz.
- Geometrical specifications: Defined head and torso dimensions to ensure repeatable positioning and acoustic coupling of devices near the ear.
- Acoustical properties: Target acoustic responses and tolerances for ears and pinnae, ensuring consistent measurement transfer functions across laboratories and products.
- Conformance: Compliance requires meeting both geometry and acoustics criteria; test methods and reference conditions are described or referenced to enable verification.
- Airborne-only focus: Emphasizes acoustic measurements in air and excludes pathways relying on mechanical vibration or tissue conduction.
Applications and users
EN IEC 60318-7 is used wherever accurate, repeatable measurement of near-ear sound sources is required:
- Headphone, earphone, and in-ear monitor manufacturers - product performance testing and R&D.
- Headset and communication device developers - microphone and transducer placement evaluation.
- Acoustic test labs and certification bodies - standardized measurement for compliance, comparison, and reporting.
- Hearing protection and consumer audio testing - evaluation of exposure and response for ear-coupled devices.

The standard EN IEC 60318-7:2022 provides a comprehensive framework for the design and application of head and torso simulators (manikins) specifically tailored for measuring sound sources located close to the ear. This precision-focused standard delineates the specific acoustical properties and geometrical dimensions that the manikin must adhere to, ensuring accurate and reliable airborne acoustic measurements within the frequency range of 100 Hz to 16,000 Hz. One of the main strengths of this standard is its clear specification regarding the limitations of the head and torso simulator. By explicitly stating that the manikin is intended solely for airborne acoustic measurements, it prevents potential misapplications that could arise from using the simulator in contexts requiring the simulation of bone conduction or tissue dynamics. This clarity enhances the integrity of testing procedures and results, reinforcing the standard's credibility in the field of electroacoustics. Furthermore, the relevance of EN IEC 60318-7:2022 extends to various applications, including product testing, regulatory compliance, and research within the field of acoustics. As sound measurement continues to be a critical aspect of product development in industries ranging from consumer electronics to automotive engineering, this standard assures that measurements are made using recognized and standardized methodologies. The inclusion of both geometrical and acoustical specifications in the standard allows for uniformity in manikin design across different manufacturers and applications. This uniformity is essential for regulatory oversight and for advancing the overall quality of sound measurement practices within the industry. Overall, EN IEC 60318-7:2022 is a pivotal standard that not only defines the operational scope of head and torso simulators but also strengthens measurement accuracy in electroacoustics through its meticulous guidelines, enhancing both scientific research and practical applications in the field.
