Extended earmuffs testing

INSPEC, the independent provider
of testing and certification services to
manufacturers of PPE, has expanded
its capabilities for
testing and
certifying
hearing
protectors to
include
electronic ear
muffs.

The company,
which operates
laboratories in the UK and China,
gained the additional accreditation
from United Kingdom Accreditation
Service (UKAS) earlier this year. It
means INSPEC can now test and
certify hearing protector products to
standards EN 352-4, 352-5, 352-6,
352-7 and 352-8. These cover a range
of devices including active noise
reduction products, level dependent
ear muffs and plugs, headphones for
entertainment audio and muffs with
built in audio communications.
