Overview

SIST EN 352-10:2021/kprA1:2024 is a European Standard developed by CEN that sets safety requirements for entertainment audio earplugs. These earplugs are specialized hearing protectors designed not only to reduce harmful noise levels but also to incorporate entertainment audio facilities, such as audio inputs for music or other sound sources. The standard covers essential aspects including construction, design, performance, marking, and user information related to these devices.

This standard ensures that entertainment audio earplugs provide effective hearing protection while delivering a quality audio experience. It aligns with EU regulations on personal protective equipment, ensuring compliance for manufacturers and safety for users.

Key Topics

  • Construction and Design: Specifies the physical and technical requirements to guarantee safety and comfort during usage.
