BS PD IEC/TS 60318-7:2017, which is a Technical Specification, describes a head and torso simulator, ormanikin, intended for the measurement of air-conduction hearing aids in the frequency rangefrom 100 Hz to 16 000 Hz.
The manikin described in this document is intended for airborne acoustic measurements only.It is not suitable for measurements which depend upon vibration transmission paths such asbone conduction, or for measurements requiring the simulation of bone or tissue.
This document specifies the manikin in terms of both its geometrical dimensions and itsacoustical properties. Only manikins compliant with both sets of specifications are inconformance with this document.
