FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and
in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent
rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

INTRODUCTION
This document specifies methods of measurement for battery duration on powered loudspeaker
equipment. The operating time of a battery-powered powered loudspeaker varies greatly
depending on the reproduced sound pressure from the loudspeaker. Since the reproduced
sound pressure of a powered loudspeaker varies depending on the purpose of use, it is a
measurement method that measures the battery operating time at different sound pressures.
IEC 63296 series currently consists of the following planned or published parts:– Part 1: Powered loudspeaker equipment
– Part 2: Headphones and earphones with active noise-cancelling functions
– Part 3: Personal sound amplification equipment

Figure 2 – Order of measurement
5.2 Operating condition
Set to a condition that is continuous sound output.
NOTE A smart loudspeaker can specify the continuous music playback time excluding the standby time.
5.3 Adjustment of controlsThe EUT is installed in its shipping condition, and the volume control shall be set to a
reproduced sound pressure level specified in 4.6, measured 1 m from the loudspeaker by the
sound level meter. If the specified output cannot be obtained due to the coarseness of the
resolution of the volume control circuit, the input signal level may be adjusted within the
resolution range of the volume controller. If the reason is clearly stated, one may measure using
settings other than these conditions.5.4 Measurement of battery duration
After setting up the EUT to the measurement conditions, start the measurement using the
measurement battery. Measure the time until the sound is interrupted, or abnormal operation is
performed. The state where the sound is interrupted is a state where the sound output from the
speaker is stopped and does not include a state where the sound is distorted or the sound
pressure is low. If the sound pressure changes by more than 3 dB during measurement, specify
the state.---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------
