Wearable electronic devices and technologies - Part 403-1: Test method of surface electromyography sensors on forearm and hand for wearable applications IEC 63203-403-1:2026 ED1

Publication date:   Aug 4, 2026

Scope

IEC 63203-403-1:2026 specifies test methods for surface electromyography (sEMG) sensors by evaluating the quality of sEMG signals obtained from contracting the muscles of the forearm and hand for wearable applications. It is applicable to sEMG sensors that are used to decipher movement intentions and use them as control signals in situations such as virtual reality, game, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), robot control, and home automation. This document does not apply to sEMG sensors intended for medical diagnosis or treatment. For medical devices, national requirements can apply.
