In the EN 352-1 standard, which is a European standard, the requirements for design, manufacture, performance, marking and user information for headphones are explained and test methods are presented. This standard has been published in our country by the Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) with the following title: EN 352-1 Hearing protectors - General rules - Part 1: Ear closers.
The EN 352-1 standard does not include ear muffs for fitting to a helmet or as part of a helmet. Ergonomic considerations are addressed within the requirements, taking into account the user, the device and, where possible, the working environment in which the device is used.
To meet EN 352 standards, hearing protection is mainly tested in the following areas, depending on product type: materials and construction, sizing and adjustability, headband strength, change in headband strength, cushion pressure, resistance to damage when dropped, resistance to leakage, flammability, minimum attenuation, marking and information provided by the manufacturer.
Today, millions of employees are exposed to excessive noise in their work environments. Many employees therefore suffer from hearing loss, tinnitus and other ailments that permanently affect their quality of life. Businesses must provide their employees with the right hearing protection, as serious health problems are at stake.
According to the relevant legal regulations, the exposure level for which hearing protection should be provided is 85 decibels per day. Where noise levels exceed 85 decibels, appropriate hearing protection must be provided. The exposure limit is 87 decibels. Noise levels exceed 87 decibels, whether employees use protective earmuffs. should not be exposed.
