Assistive listening devices and systems for active assisted living - Part 1: General (IEC 63087-1:2021)

This part of IEC 63087 specifies requirements, and the associated methods of measurement,
for the electroacoustic performance of personal listening systems.
This document specifies requirements for the provision of assistive listening in audio, video and
multimedia systems and equipment. The requirements are of different kinds, because of the
diversity of the hardware concerned. Existing IEC standards for methods of measurement are
normatively referenced if they exist. Methods of measurement and performance requirements
are specified in IEC 63087-21.
This document does not apply to hearing aids. Also excluded are devices entirely worn on or in
the ear, which cannot be measured independently.

Dispositifs et systèmes d'aide à l'audition pour l'assistance à l'autonomie à domicile - Partie 1: Généralités (IEC 63087-1:2021)

L'IEC 63087-1:2021 définit les exigences ainsi que les méthodes de mesurage associées pour les performances électroacoustiques des systèmes d'écoute personnels.
Le présent document définit les exigences relatives à la mise à disposition d'une aide à l'audition dans les systèmes et équipements audio, vidéo et multimédias. Compte tenu de la diversité des matériels concernés, les exigences sont de différents types. Les normes IEC existantes relatives aux méthodes de mesurage sont citées en référence de manière normative, le cas échéant. Les méthodes de mesurage et les exigences de performance sont définies dans l'IEC 63087-2 .
Le présent document ne s'applique pas aux appareils de correction auditive. Les dispositifs portés entièrement sur ou à l'intérieur de l'oreille, qui ne peuvent pas faire l'objet de mesures indépendantes, sont également exclus.

Pomožni slušni aparati in sistemi za aktivno življenje s pomočjo - 1. del: Splošno (IEC 63087-1:2021)

Ta del standarda IEC 63087 določa zahteve in povezane merilne metode za elektrostatično zmogljivost osebnih sistemov za poslušanje. Ta dokument določa zahteve za zagotavljanje pomožnega poslušanja v avdio, video in večpredstavnostnih sistemih ter opremi. Zaradi raznolikosti zadevne strojne opreme se zahteve razlikujejo. Dokument se normativno sklicuje na obstoječe standarde IEC za merilne metode (če obstajajo). Merilne metode in zahteve glede zmogljivosti so podane v standardu IEC 63087-21. Ta dokument se ne uporablja za slušne pripomočke. Izključene so tudi naprave, ki se v celoti nosijo na ali v ušesu, za katere ni mogoče izvesti neodvisnih meritev.

ASSISTIVE LISTENING DEVICES AND SYSTEMS
FOR ACTIVE ASSISTED LIVING –

Part 1: General

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.
IEC 63087-1 has been prepared by Technical Area 16: Active Assisted Living (AAL), wearable
electronic devices and technologies, accessibility and user interfaces of IEC technical
committee 100: Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment. It is an International
Standard.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
100/3601/FDIS 100/3623/RVD

Full information on the voting for its approval can be found in the report on voting indicated in
the above table.

87 INTRODUCTION
88 AAL (Active Assisted Living) aims to improve the quality of users lives. The user is any person
89 of any age who uses or benefits from AAL products, services and systems. IEC has created the
90 Systems Committee AAL which is tasked to develop systems standards taking into account the
91 following: products, services and systems, safety, security and privacy.
92 The TC 100 title items, audio, video and multimedia device and systems provide various
93 services to users, however some of users may have some difficulties of hearing, listening,
94 viewing and sensing because of their age or by nature or some other reasons. These users
95 increase in this mature society, IEC shall correspond to this situation with the philosophy of
96 AAL.
97 The legacy standardization work focuses on providing quality and functions to the ordinary user,
98 this document specifies the requirement for providing audio quality and functionalities to the
99 users who have some difficulties with hearing and listening.
100 Personal listening systems are used to improve the perception and audibility of a range of sound
101 sources when listening in non-ideal situations. Examples of these include listening to a
102 television when not seated close to it, following a discussion in a meeting, engaging in a one-
103 to one conversation, or in other applications where programme material is available such as
104 transport, theatre or education environments where provision for access enables users to
105 overcome the presence of competing background noise.
106 Personal listening systems are widely used by those with normal hearing, but in some instances
107 by those who have a mild hearing loss, but either do not consider that they need a hearing aid,
108 or do not meet health-care criteria for hearing aid provision.
109 Unlike hearing aids, which are classified as Medical Devices and require an appropriately
110 trained and competent hearing aid professional to assess an individual's hearing and select and
111 fit an suitable device, personal listening systems are not provided for by current regulatory
112 requirements. Requirements for hearing aid pe
