EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60268-7 testing. IEC EN 60268-7 applies to headphones, headsets, earbuds and ear-sets intended for use in or in the human ear.
It also applies to equipment such as preamplifiers, passive networks and power supplies that form an integral part of the headset system. It specifies the features and related measurement methods that should be included in the specifications by the manufacturer. It contains a classification of different types of headphones, mainly characterized by the way the transducer is acoustically connected to the ear and a classification code that can also be used for marking.
The purpose of this standard is to ensure that headphones are designed and tested to meet certain minimum requirements for sound quality, comfort and safety. The standard covers various features of headphones and earbuds, including:
Frequency response: The frequency response of the headphones must be within certain limits to ensure accurate and high-quality sound reproduction.
Impedance: The impedance of headphones and earphones must be specified to ensure compatibility with audio equipment.
Sensitivity: The sensitivity of the earphones and earbuds should be specified to ensure they produce an appropriate volume level.
Maximum sound pressure level: The maximum sound pressure level of headphones and earphones should be specified so that they do not make noises that could damage the user's hearing.
Mechanical requirements: The standard specifies various mechanical requirements, such as the durability of the cable and the strength of the headband.
Comfort requirements: The standard specifies various comfort requirements such as weight and pressure applied to the wearer's ears.
Electrical safety requirements: The standard specifies various electrical safety requirements such as insulation resistance and leakage current.
By following the guidelines set out in IEC EN 60268-7, manufacturers can ensure that their headphones meet certain minimum requirements for sound quality, comfort and safety.
