Summary

The UK project page gives a scope and consultation timetable for the proposed hearing-aid broadcast standard.

Key findings

  • The project lists public comments from 22 April to 10 June 2026.
  • Its scope runs from the audio input of a 2.4 GHz broadcast transmitter to audio rendered by the hearing aid, including performance measurement and transmitter coverage. The upstream audio-system design and signal conditioning are excluded.
  • The displayed schedule gives start dates for drafting on 10 July 2026, comment resolution on 8 June 2027, approval on 10 August 2027 and publication on 1 November 2027. These are the page's stage-start labels, not evidence of completed stages.

Limits

Undated national project page read on 13 October 2026. Its draft-start entry falls after its public-comment window. The order has not been reconciled and future entries are plans, not completed IEC stages. No draft requirements were read.
