적용 범위

This standard specifies the selection methods and maintenance requirements for hearing protective equipment. It is applicable to the selection, use, and maintenance of hearing protective equipment in occupational noise workplaces. This standard is not applicable to the protection against impulse noise. It covers various types of equipment, including earmuffs and earplugs, used in industrial environments.

기술 요구 사항

The standard categorizes hearing protective equipment by design, wearing style, and functional mode, including basic passive noise reduction and active noise cancellation or communication features. It outlines general principles for selection based on safety, applicability, and comfort, emphasizing that equipment must provide effective protection without affecting work performance or causing over-protection. Selection requirements detail specific scenarios, such as using earplugs in high-temperature or confined spaces, and combining earmuffs with earplugs when single devices fail to provide sufficient attenuation. Employers must investigate workplace environmental information and worker health conditions before selecting equipment. The standard mandates that workers exposed to noise levels of 85 dB(A) or above must wear hearing protective equipment. The standard also specifies requirements for training, precautions, and feedback. Employers are required to train workers on the hazards of noise, proper usage, and the importance of wearing protection throughout the entire exposure period. Equipment must be worn continuously in hazardous noise zones to maintain effective protection. Maintenance requirements include regular cleaning, inspection for damage, and proper disposal of disposable items, adhering to manufacturer guidelines.

시험 방법

The standard references several methods for calculating effective A-weighted sound pressure levels and assessing equipment suitability, including the octave band method, HML method, and SNR (Single Number Rating) method. It also outlines fit testing methods such as the real-ear microphone method, audiometric method, and loudness balance method to ensure proper sealing and attenuation.
