About us
We develop standards for electroacoustics
IEC TC 29’s technical work plays a vital role in underpinning large areas of social, environmental, medical diagnostic and rehabilitation applications, where the accurate production and/or measurement of sound is needed. Electroacoustical instrumentation and devices are therefore required by a very diverse range of users
Scope
Standardization of electroacoustic instruments and systems for acoustic and audiometric measurements. This includes performance requirements, and calibration and test methods for: acoustic measurement systems including; microphones, sound calibrators, sound level meters, filters, and equipment used for measurement of aircraft noise, audiometric measurement systems and related instruments and equipment, including; audiometric equipment and transducers (earphones and bone vibrators), ear simulators, hearing aids and induction loop systems.
Excluded from the scope are:
a) standards for sound and video recording as dealt with by IEC TC 100;
b) standards for equipment in the field of audio and audio- visual engineering as dealt with by IEC TC 100;
c) standards and terminology for ultrasonic techniques dealt with by IEC TC 87.
NOTE: Close co-operation shall, however, be maintained with IEC TC 87 in the fields of common interest.
