INSPEC International, provider of
testing and certification services to
manufacturers of PPE, has expanded
its capabilities for testing and
certifying hearing protectors to
include electronic ear muffs.

The company, which operates
state-of-the-art labs in the UK and
China, gained the additional
accreditation from UKAS earlier this
year. It means INSPEC can now test
and certify hearing protector products
to standards EN 352-4, 352-5, 352-6,
352-7 and 352-8. These cover a range
of devices including active noise
reduction products, level dependent
ear muffs and plugs, headphones for
entertainment audio and muffs with
built in audio communications.
