EN352:2002 Hearing Protectors

The EN352 European standard is divided into several parts. Every part of the standard is applicable to specific types of protection :


EN352-1 Muffs and Headband
The section of the standard deals with head fasteners and establishes requirements in terms of manufacture, design and performance, test methods, instructions relating to marking and information intended for users.
It stipulates putting at disposal the information relating to head fastener acoustic fading characteristic, measured in conformity with EN24869-1 and therefore specify a minimal fading level necessary to establish their conformity with the present specification.
This section of the standard does not deal with head fasteners designed to be fixed on a helmet or to be a part of a helmet or with the performance of electronic devices likely to be inserted in the head fasteners, or even with amplitude sensitive head fasteners. This standard does not deal with ear protection performance as far as impulse noise is concerned.

EN352-2 Plugs and Bands
This part of the standard also deals with individually moulded ear plugs and devices connected by band, although, it does not deal with the performances of electronic devices likely to be inserted in the ear plugs or on the case of amplitude sensitive plugs.

EN352-3 Muffs and Helmet mounted
The present section of the standard stipulates requirements in terms of manufacture, design and performance, test methods, instructions relating to head fastener marking and information intended for head fastener users, when the latter are fixed on protective industrial helmets.
