44、and rehabilitation purposes have resulted in the availability of a wide range of audiometers. In addition it is possible to consider the audiometer in terms of a set of functional units which can be specified independently. By specifying these functional units it is then possible to specify the perf

45、ormance of other audiometric equipment which use these units. IEC 60645 series consists of a number of parts. IEC 60645-1 is the first in the series and covers the requirements for pure tone audiometers. This standard describes equipment which is designed for the measurement of hearing in the freque

46、ncy range from 125 Hz to 16 000 Hz. Due to the development of the later parts of IEC 60645, no reference is now made in part 1 to the use of broad-band noise for masking. Requirements for broad-band masking noise now only relate to its use with speech signals as described in IEC 60645-2. The test re

47、quirements to demonstrate conformity are now specified separately. Conformance to the specifications in this standard is demonstrated only when the result of a measurement, extended by the actual expanded uncertainty of measurement of the testing laboratory, lies fully within the tolerances specifie

48、d in this standard. The tolerances that are to be met by the manufacturer of an audiometer are essentially the same as in the first edition of IEC 60645-1, while the tolerances as applicable to the testing of the audiometer are increased by Umax compared with those of the previous edition.
