1 Scope

This document 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.
