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.
- Researchers in psychoacoustics and audio engineering - controlled, repeatable near-ear acoustic measurements.
