BSI Group looking for new members to join BSI committee EH/1/1 Acoustics – hearing

The BSI Group is looking for new members to join the BSI committee EH/1/1 Acoustics – hearing, to participate in the development of standards in this field.

There are currently 5 international standards in development, in ISO (International Standards Organisation) and BSI (British Standards Institution), which provides the UK input to these. These fall into the following working groups (WGs):

WG 1 Threshold of hearing: ISO 1999 Acoustics — Estimation of noise-induced hearing loss

ISO/DIS 226 Acoustics — Normal equal-loudness-level contours

WG 9 Method for calculating loudness level: ISO 532-3 Acoustics — Methods for calculating loudness — Part 3: Moore-Glasberg-Schlittenlacher method

WG 10 Hearing aid fitting management: ISO 7820 Acoustics — Tele Hearing Aid Fitting Management

WG 17 Methods of measurement of sound attenuation of hearing protectors: ISO 4869-7 Acoustics — Hearing protectors — Part 7: Method to measure the response of hearing protectors with high-level impulse noise on an acoustic test fixture

BSI are looking for experts for all these groups (although ISO 532-3 is nearing the end and should be published at the end of this year).
