Hearing protectors - General requirements - Part 3: Ear-muffs attached to an industrial safety helmet
This part of the standard specifies requirements for construction, design, performance, marking and user information for ear-muffs fitted to an industrial helmet which complies with EN 397, Industrial safety helmets. In particular, it calls for the sound attenuation of the ear-muffs, measured in accordance with EN 24869-1, to be declared and to be not less than a specified minimum. The requirements of this standard are intended to take account of the ergonomic interaction between the wearer, the device and where possible the working environment in which the device is likely to be used (see Annex ZA, of this standard and EN 458).
Gehörschützer - Allgemeine Anforderungen - Teil 3: An Industriehelmen befestigte Kapselgehörschützer
Dieser Teil der Norm legt Anforderungen hinsichtlich Konstruktion, Gestaltung, Leistung, Kennzeichnung und Benutzerinformationen für Kapselgehörschützer fest, die an Industrieschutzhelmen befestigt sind, die EN 397, Industrieschutzhelme, entsprechen. Im besonderen fordert sie die Angabe der durch die Kapselgehörschützer geleisteten nach EN 24869-1 gemessenen Schalldämmung einen festgelegten Mindestwert nicht unterschreiten darf. Die Anforderungen dieser Norm haben das Ziel, die ergonomische Wechselwirkung zwischen dem Benutzer, dem Gerät und wo möglich der Arbeitsumgebung, in der das Gerät voraussichtlich benutzt wird, zu berücksichtigen (siehe Anhang ZA dieser Norm und EN 458).
Protecteurs individuels contre le bruit - Exigences générales - Partie 3: Serre tête montés sur casque de sécurité industriel
La présente partie de la norme spécifie les exigences en matière de construction, de conception, de performances et de marquage des serre-tête montés sur casque de sécurité industriel conforme à l'EN 397 ainsi que les informations destinées à l'utilisateur.
Elle prescrit en particulier une déclaration de l'affaiblissement acoustique des serre-tête montés sur casque, mesuré conformément à l'EN 24869-1.
Du fait qu'un même modèle de serre-tête peut être monté sur différents modèles ou tailles de casques de sécurité industriel, la présente partie de la norme définit une série d'exigences physiques et acoustiques fonction du modèle ou de la taille de casque sur lequel le serre-tête est monté.
Les exigences s'appliquent en totalité à la combinaison de base, c'est-à-dire aux serre-tête montés sur l'un des modèles ou l'une des tailles de casque spécifiés, et en partie seulement à la combinaison supplémentaire, c'est-à-dire aux serre-tête du même modèle mais montés sur des casques de modèle ou de taille autre que ceux qui sont spécifiés.
Il est exigé de mettre à disposition les informations sur la gamme de casques testés avec les serre-tête, et dont les combinaisons satisfont à la présente norme.
Les aspects ergonomiques sont abordés en tenant compte de l'interaction entre la personne qui porte les serre-tête, l'appareil et, quand cela est possible, l'environnement de travail dans le lequel l'appareil est susceptible d'être utilisé (voir l'annexe ZA et l'EN 458).

The standard EN 352-3:2002 focuses on the requirements for hearing protectors, specifically ear-muffs that are attached to industrial safety helmets. This standard lays out essential criteria pertaining to the construction, design, performance, marking, and user information of these ear-muffs, ensuring they meet the demands of industrial safety. A significant strength of EN 352-3:2002 is its emphasis on sound attenuation, which is crucial for protecting users from harmful noise levels in various working environments. The standard mandates that sound attenuation values must be declared and should not fall below a specified minimum, thus providing a clear benchmark for manufacturers and consumers alike. This aspect bolsters the standard's relevance in industries where noise exposure is a persistent risk, ensuring that ear-muffs deliver adequate protection. Additionally, the ergonomic considerations included in the standard enhance its strength, as they prioritize the interaction between the wearer, the hearing protectors, and the working environment. This holistic approach, as referenced in Annex ZA and EN 458, underscores the standard's commitment to user comfort and safety, which is vital for prolonged use in demanding conditions. The comprehensive nature of EN 352-3:2002, combined with its clear focus on safety, performance, and usability, makes it an indispensable reference for manufacturers and operators within industries where ear protection is essential. The relevance of this standard in promoting the effective use of ear-muffs attached to industrial safety helmets cannot be overstated, as it addresses both regulatory compliance and the practical requirements of workers in noisy environments.
Die Norm EN 352-3:2002 befasst sich mit den allgemeinen Anforderungen an Gehörschutz, insbesondere mit Kapselgehörschützern, die an einem Industrieschutzhelm befestigt sind. Der Umfang dieser Norm ist klar definiert und legt die Voraussetzungen für Konstruktion, Design, Leistung, Kennzeichnung und Benutzerinformation fest, die für den sicheren Einsatz solcher Gehörschützer erforderlich sind. Durch die spezielle Ausrichtung auf Kapselgehörschützer, die mit nach EN 397 konzipierten Industrieschutzhelmen verwendet werden, wird die Norm besonders relevant für Branchen, in denen Lärmschutz und Sicherheit Hand in Hand gehen. Eine der größten Stärken der EN 352-3:2002 liegt in der detaillierten Vorgabe zur Schallabsorption der Kapselgehörschützer. Die Norm fordert, dass die Schalldämmung der Ohrenschützer, gemessen nach EN 24869-1, einen festgelegten Mindestwert nicht unterschreiten darf. Dies stellt sicher, dass die Nutzer der Gehörschützer einen effektiven Schutz gegen schädliche Geräuschpegel erhalten. Darüber hinaus trägt der Fokus auf ergonomische Aspekte in der Interaktion zwischen Träger, Gerät und Arbeitsumgebung (wie in Anhang ZA der Norm und EN 458 beschrieben) zur Verbesserung des Tragekomforts und der Benutzerakzeptanz bei. Die Relevanz dieser Norm ist nicht zu unterschätzen, da sie einen integralen Bestandteil der Sicherheitsvorschriften in vielen industriellen Anwendungen darstellt. Die Kombination aus sicherheitstechnischen Anforderungen und ergonomischen Gesichtspunkten macht die EN 352-3:2002 zu einem unverzichtbaren Leitfaden für Hersteller und Anwender von Gehörschutzlösungen. Die Einhaltung dieser Norm fördert nicht nur die Sicherheit am Arbeitsplatz, sondern auch das allgemeine Wohlbefinden der Mitarbeiter.
