The Commitment To Hearing Conservation A WORD ABOUT NRRs You can be assured that the NRR (Noise Reduction Rating) stated on all E-A-R labeled products is based on testing performed in a laboratory that is accredited under the U.S. Department of Commerce (National Institute of Standards and Technology) National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) for testing hearing protection according to ANSI S3.19-1974 (American National Standards Institute). Testing to ANSI S3.19 is the procedure currently specified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under their hearing protector labeling regulation. Most manufacturers recognize the value of testing in a NVLAP accredited lab, and insist on evaluating their hearing protectors in these labs. For your protection, insist on products tested in an accredited laboratory. Research has shown that NRRs are not a suitable measure of actual workplace protection. A better estimate can be obtained by derating the labeled NRR of any hearing protector by 50%. E-A-R is leading efforts to develop and implement hearing protector testing (ANSI S12.6-1997, Method B) and ratings that more accurately reflect actual workplace performance. Contact us for Method B data and additional details. E-A-RCAL SM LABORATORY Most E-A-R research and testing are conducted in the E-A-RCAL Acoustical Laboratory, a facility that is accredited under the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), described above. The E-A-RCAL Laboratory also provides independent attenuation testing services. For more information, visit our website or contact Elliott Berger at 317-692-3031. THE HEARING CONSERVATION AMENDMENT The U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has a set of guidelines and required components for a hearing program [OSHA (1983). Occupational Noise Exposure; Hearing Conservation Amendment, Fed. Register 48 (46), 9738-9783]. An E-A-R poster, featuring the Hearing Conservation Amendment, is available for posting in your facility. Contact us for this and other hearing conservation amendment materials.

EXPLANATION OF ATTENUATION CHARTS ON FOLLOWING PAGES The following pages contain attenuation data for the complete family of E-A-R products. Understanding this information is the first step in finding the correct plug or muff for your needs. You may find the following explanations helpful when reading the charts. Mean attenuation values (based on U.S. testing) refer to the average noise reduction measured on laboratory test subjects under optimum conditions at the nine test frequencies listed in the tables accompanying the descriptions for each product. Standard Deviation refers to the variability of the mean attenuation values at each of the listed frequencies when tested to ANSI S3.19-1974. NRR is the Noise Reduction Rating as specified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) when tested to ANSI S3.19-1974. Class refers to class designations based on octave-band attenuation values listed in Table 3 of Canadian Standard Z94.2-02. All testing conducted in an NVLAP accredited laboratory.
