CSA Z107.6 Audiometric Testing for use in Hearing Loss Prevention Programs: A new title for a new edition
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The most recent addition to the Canadian Standards Association’s (CSA) Occupational Hearing Conservation Technical Committee’s fleet of standards is a long-awaited second edition of CSA Z107.6, Audiometric Testing for use in Hearing Loss Prevention Programs. This Standard focuses on quantifying hearing loss as a means of early detection of possible damage from hazardous noise exposure and is directed to organizations and service providers responsible for conducting audiometric tests as part of a Hearing Loss Prevention Program (HLPP). The new edition is intended to be used in conjunction with CSA Z1007, Management of Hearing Loss Prevention, and incorporates several amendments and additions to the original 1990 edition. The 2016 edition now includes: mobile audiometric test facility requirements; an expanded section on audiometric technician training requirements; and guidance to the technician on classifying test results, advising the tested individual about their test results and providing reports to the Hearing Loss Prevention Program Administrator for use within an HLPP.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
