Acoustics - Hearing protectors - Part 1: Subjective method for the measurement of sound attenuation (ISO 4869-1:2018)

This document specifies a subjective method for measuring sound attenuation of hearing protectors at the threshold of hearing. The method is a laboratory method designed to yield reproducible values under controlled measurement conditions. The values reflect the attenuating characteristics of the hearing protector only to the extent that users wear the device in the same manner as did the test subjects.
For a more representative indication of field performance the methods of ISO/TS 4869‑5 can be used.
This test method yields data which are collected at low sound pressure levels (close to the threshold of hearing) but which are also representative of the attenuation values of hearing protectors at higher sound pressure levels. An exception occurs in the case of amplitude-sensitive hearing protectors for sound pressure levels above the point at which their level-dependent characteristics become effective. At those sound pressure levels the method specified in this document is inapplicable, as it will usually underestimate sound attenuation for these devices.
NOTE       Due to masking from physiological noise in the occluded ear tests, sound attenuations below 500 Hz can be overestimated by a few decibels.

Akustik - Gehörschützer - Teil 1: Subjektives Verfahren zur Messung der Schalldämmung; Deutsche Fassung EN ISO 4869-1:2018 (ISO 4869-1:2018)

Dieses Dokument legt ein subjektives Verfahren zur Messung der Schalldämmung von Gehörschützern an der Hörschwelle fest. Das Verfahren ist ein Laborverfahren, das dafür ausgelegt ist, unter kontrollierten Messbedingungen reproduzierbare Werte zu ergeben. Die Werte reflektieren die Schalldämmeigenschaften des Gehörschützers nur insoweit, als die Benutzer ihn in der gleichen Weise tragen wie die Versuchs¬personen.
Für eine repräsentativere Angabe der Leistung in der Praxis können die Verfahren nach ISO/TS 4869 5 angewendet werden.
Dieses Prüfverfahren liefert Daten, die bei niedrigen Schalldruckpegeln (in der Nähe der Hörschwelle) ermit¬telt werden, die jedoch auch repräsentativ für die Schalldämmwerte der Gehörschützer bei höheren Schall¬druckpegeln sind. Eine Ausnahme bilden amplitudenempfindlicheN1) Gehörschützer für Schalldruckpegel, die oberhalb des Einsatzpunktes ihrer pegelabhängigen Charakteristik liegen. Bei derartigen Schalldruckpegeln ist das im vorliegenden Dokument festgelegte Verfahren nicht anwendbar, weil es üblicherweise zu einer Unter¬schätzung der Schalldämmung dieser Gehörschützer führt.
ANMERKUNG   Aufgrund der in den Versuchen mit aufgesetztem Gehörschützer auftretenden Maskierung durch physiologische Geräusche können Schalldämmungen unterhalb von 500 Hz um einige Dezibel überschätzt werden.

Acoustique - Protecteurs individuels contre le bruit - Partie 1: Méthode subjective de mesurage de l'affaiblissement acoustique (ISO 4869-1:2018)

Le présent document spécifie une méthode subjective de mesurage de l'affaiblissement acoustique apporté par des protecteurs individuels contre le bruit au seuil d'audition. Il s'agit d'une méthode de laboratoire conçue pour obtenir des valeurs reproductibles dans des conditions de mesurage contrôlées. Ces valeurs ne reflètent les caractéristiques d'affaiblissement du protecteur individuel contre le bruit que dans la mesure où les utilisateurs le portent de la même façon que les sujets lors des essais.
Pour une indication plus représentative de la performance in situ, les méthodes de l'ISO/TS 4869‑5 peuvent être utilisées.
Avec la méthode d'essai décrite, les données sont obtenues à des niveaux de pression acoustique bas (proches du seuil d'audition), mais sont également représentatives des valeurs de l'affaiblissement apporté par les protecteurs individuels contre le bruit à des niveaux de pression acoustique plus élevés, sauf, dans le cas des protecteurs individuels contre le bruit à atténuation dépendante du niveau, lorsque les niveaux de pression acoustique sont supérieurs au seuil au-delà duquel la dépendance du niveau devient effective. À ces niveaux de pression acoustique, la méthode spécifiée par le présent document devient inapplicable car elle conduit habituellement à une sous-estimation de l'affaiblissement apporté par ces dispositifs.
NOTE       En raison de l'effet de masque dû au bruit physiologique lors des essais oreilles occluses, les affaiblissements acoustique au-dessous de 500 Hz peuvent être surestimés de quelques décibels.

Akustika - Oprema za varovanje sluha - 1. del: Subjektivna metoda za merjenje dušenja zvoka (ISO 4869-1:2018)

Ta dokument določa subjektivno metodo za merjenje dušenja zvoka pri opremi za varovanje sluha pri pragu slišnosti. Metoda je laboratorijska metoda, katere namen je doseči ponovljive vrednosti pod nadzorovanimi pogoji merjenja. Vrednosti odražajo lastnosti dušenja opreme za varovanje sluha samo v obsegu, v katerem uporabniki opremo uporabljajo na enak način kot osebe, ki so sodelovale pri preskušanju.
Za bolj reprezentativen kazalnik terenske zmogljivosti je mogoče uporabiti metode iz standarda ISO/TS 4869-5. Rezultat te metode so podatki, ki so zbrani pri nizkih ravneh zvočnega tlaka (blizu praga slišnosti), vendar so reprezentativni tudi za vrednosti dušenja opreme za varovanje sluha pri višjih ravneh zvočnega tlaka. Izjema se pojavi pri opremi za varovanje sluha, občutljivi na spremembe amplitude, in sicer za ravni zvočnega tlaka nad točko, pri kateri njene lastnosti, odvisne od ravni, začnejo učinkovati.
Pri teh ravneh zvočnega tlaka se metoda, opredeljena v tem dokumentu, ne uporablja, saj običajno podceni dušenje zvoka te opreme.
OPOMBA: Zaradi maskiranja fiziološkega šuma pri preskusih s pokritimi ušesi se lahko dušenje zvoka pod 500 Hz preceni za nekaj decibelov.
