ISO 8253-1:2010规定了纯音空气传导和骨传导听阈测定的程序和要求。出于筛查目的，仅规定了纯音空气传导听力测试方法。这些程序可能不适合特殊人群，例如非常年幼的儿童。 ISO 8253-1:2010不包括在高于受试者听力阈值水平的水平上进行的听力测试程序。 未规定语音测听、电生理测听以及将扬声器用作声源的程序和要求。

ISO 8253-1:2010 specifies procedures and requirements for pure-tone air conduction and bone conduction threshold audiometry. For screening purposes, only pure-tone air conduction audiometric test methods are specified. It is possible that the procedures are not appropriate for special populations, e.g. very young children. ISO 8253-1:2010 does not cover audiometric procedures to be carried out at levels above the hearing threshold levels of the subjects. Procedures and requirements for speech audiometry, electrophysiological audiometry, and where loudspeakers are used as a sound source are not specified.
