Overview

EN 352-10:2020+A1:2024 is a European standard issued by CEN that specifies safety requirements for entertainment audio earplugs. These specialized earplugs are designed to relay audio entertainment through wired or wireless systems, including built-in radio receivers, music players, or external audio input devices such as Bluetooth. The standard covers essential aspects such as construction, design, performance, marking, and user information to ensure safe use while maintaining entertainment functionality.

Entertainment audio earplugs also incorporate the capability to communicate warning signals or messages, combining hearing protection with audio entertainment. A critical safety feature mandated by the standard is the limitation of the maximum sound pressure level output to the ear, protecting users from potential hearing damage.

Key Topics

  • Scope and Application
    EN 352-10 applies specifically to earplugs equipped with entertainment audio facilities. It governs devices that transmit entertainment audio signals via radio broadcasts, wired inputs, or wireless connections such as Bluetooth.

  • Performance Requirements
    The standard requires that the mean maximum sound pressure level at the ear does not exceed 82 dB(A), measured under defined testing conditions. This limit applies to all types of sound input, whether via FM radio, Bluetooth, DAB/DAB+ digital radio, or electrical audio inputs.

  • Testing Procedures
    Testing must follow acoustic and physical test methods referenced in EN 13819-3:2019+A1:2024, ensuring consistent measurement of sound output levels for different transmission modes.

  • Marking and User Information
    Mandatory markings conform with EN 352-2:2020, including product identification and safety notices. Instructions must clearly state the presence of an entertainment audio facility and provide details about sound pressure limits. For devices with electrical input, voltage thresholds ensuring sound level compliance must be indicated.

  • Safety and Warning Communication
    Entertainment audio earplugs may relay warning messages alongside entertainment audio. The standard highlights that the audibility of workplace warning signals can be impaired when entertainment audio is active, necessitating user awareness.

Applications

  • Personal Hearing Protection with Entertainment
    These earplugs are ideal for users who require hearing protection but also want to listen to music, radio, or other audio content safely. Typical users include concert-goers, event staff, and workers in noisy environments seeking entertainment during breaks.

  • Workplace Safety Compliance
    The controlled sound pressure level feature ensures that employees using these earplugs comply with occupational safety regulations related to hearing protection while still being able to receive important warnings.

  • Wireless Audio Experience
    Bluetooth-enabled entertainment audio earplugs offer the convenience of wireless audio streaming without compromising on hearing safety, facilitating better mobility for users in professional and leisure settings.

  • Integrated Alert Communication
    In industrial or entertainment venues, earplugs compliant with EN 352-10 allow transmission of warning signals or emergency messages, enhancing wearer safety.

Die Norm EN 352-10:2020+A1:2024 behandelt die Sicherheitsanforderungen für Hörschutzmittel, insbesondere für Unterhaltungs-Audio-Ohrstöpsel. Ihr Anwendungsbereich ist klar umrissen: Sie spezifiziert die Anforderungen an Konstruktion, Design, Leistung, Kennzeichnung und Benutzerinformationen in Bezug auf die Einbeziehung der Unterhaltungs-Audio-Funktionalität. Dies ist besonders relevant für die wachsende Nachfrage nach Ohrstöpseln, die nicht nur vor Lärm schützen, sondern auch Audioinhalte bereitstellen. Ein herausragendes Merkmal dieser Norm ist die Definition der technischen Anforderungen an die Wiedergabequalität und die Sicherheitsstandards, die sicherstellen, dass ein reproduzierter Schalldruckpegel am Ohr nicht überschritten wird. Damit trägt die Norm nicht nur zur Gewährleistung des Hörschutzes bei, sondern fördert auch eine kontrollierte Auditiverfahrung für den Benutzer, was gerade in der Unterhaltungsbranche von großer Bedeutung ist. Die Norm umfasst zudem die Verwendung von drahtlosen oder kabelgebundenen Systemen zur Übertragung von Audioinhalten, einschließlich der Möglichkeit, Warnsignale oder Nachrichten zu kommunizieren. Diese Vielseitigkeit ist ein entscheidender Vorteil von Unterhaltungs-Audio-Ohrstöpseln, da sie sowohl die Unterhaltung als auch die persönliche Sicherheit in potenziell lauten Umgebungen miteinander verbinden. Ein weiterer Pluspunkt dieser Norm ist die klare Richtlinie für die Markierung und Benutzerinformation, die sicherstellt, dass die Anwender angemessen über die Funktionalitäten und die sichere Benutzung der Produkte informiert sind. Dies trägt dazu bei, dass die Benutzer nicht nur die Vorteile der Audioübertragung, sondern auch die Sicherheitsaspekte optimal nutzen können. Zusammenfassend lässt sich sagen, dass die EN 352-10:2020+A1:2024 Norm eine umfassende und gut strukturierte Grundlage bietet, die sowohl die Sicherheit als auch den Genuss der Nutzer von Unterhaltungs-Audio-Ohrstöpseln schützt. Die Berücksichtigung moderner Technologien und Benutzerbedürfnisse macht diese Norm besonders relevant in der aktuellen audiovisuellen Landschaft.

La norme SIST EN 352-10:2021+A1:2024 traite des protège-audits destinés au secteur du divertissement, plus particulièrement des écouteurs audio. Elle définit des exigences strictes concernant la construction, la conception, la performance, le marquage et l'information à destination des utilisateurs, tout en tenant compte de l'intégration de la fonctionnalité audio de divertissement. L'un des principaux atouts de cette norme réside dans son approche exhaustive, laquelle garantit la sécurité et le confort des utilisateurs. En spécifiant des niveaux de pression acoustique limités au niveau de l'oreille, la norme vise à réduire les risques audiométriques tout en permettant le plaisir de l'écoute. Cela devient particulièrement pertinent dans des environnements bruyants, où il est essentiel de protéger l'audition sans compromettre l'expérience de divertissement. En outre, la norme SIST EN 352-10:2021+A1:2024 permet l'utilisation d'une variété de technologies de transmission audio, que ce soit par des systèmes filaires, Bluetooth ou via des récepteurs radio. Cela offre aux utilisateurs une grande flexibilité tout en assurant le respect des exigences de sécurité. L'inclusion de mécanismes pour communiquer des signaux d'alerte ou des messages renforce également la pertinence de cette norme dans des contextes où la sécurité est primordiale. Enfin, le marquage et l'information fournis sont essentiels pour garantir que les utilisateurs soient conscients des caractéristiques de sécurité et des performances de leurs écouteurs, leur permettant ainsi de faire des choix éclairés lors de l'utilisation de ces produits. La norme SIST EN 352-10:2021+A1:2024 s'impose donc comme un référentiel crucial pour le développement et la commercialisation d'écouteurs audio de divertissement, alliant plaisir et sécurité.
