scope:

This standard applies to the components of audio-frequency induction-loop systems for assisted hearing. It may also be applied to such systems used for other purposes, as far as it is applicable. It is intended to encourage accurate and uniform presentation of manufacturers' specifications, which can be verified by standardized methods of measurement. The standard is intended for type testing. This standard is intended to be read together with IEC 60118-4, which deals with overall system performance. The components considered are: - amplifiers; - microphones; - other components, such as playback equipment. This standard does not deal with safety, for which IEC 60065 applies. It also does not deal with EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) and EMF (Electro Magnetic Fields, in the context of human exposure).
