This part of IEC 60645 applies to instruments designed primarily for the measurement of
otoacoustic emissions in the human external acoustic meatus evoked by acoustic probe
pulses or tones. This standard defines the characteristics to be specified by the manufacturer,
lays down performance specifications for two types of instruments 1 and specifies the
functions to be provided on these types. This part of IEC 60645 describes methods of test to
be used for approval testing and guidance on methods for undertaking routine calibration.
The purpose of this part of IEC 60645 is to ensure that measurements made under
comparable test conditions with different instruments complying with the standard will be
consistent. Instruments which provide a measurement function not specifically within the
scope of the standard shall still comply with any relevant requirements. This standard is not
intended to restrict development or incorporation of new features, nor to discourage
innovative approaches.
