Hearing protectors - Safety requirements - Part 6: Earmuffs with safety-related audio input
This document is applicable to earmuffs supplemented by a safety-related audio input. The audio signal can be transmitted by electrical input or other communication like Bluetooth . It specifies requirements on construction, design, performance, marking and user information related to the inclusion of the safety-related audio input.
Earmuffs with safety-related audio input are designed to provide speech information and warning signals, while providing attenuation of external sound. They may be selected for use in a number of different environments, for example in air traffic communication, in the police forces, in the broadcasting and entertainment industries.
Gehörschützer - Sicherheitstechnische Anforderungen - Teil 6: Kapselgehörschützer mit sicherheitsrelevantem Audioinput
Dieses Dokument ist anzuwenden für Kapselgehörschützer, die mit einem sicherheitsrelevanten Audioinput ausgestattet sind. Das Audiosignal kann über einen elektrischen Eingang oder andere Kommunikationssysteme, wie Bluetooth , übertragen werden. Es legt für die Integration des sicherheitsrelevanten Audioinputs Anforderungen hinsichtlich Konstruktion, Gestaltung, Leistung, Kennzeichnung und Benutzerinformationen fest.
Kapselgehörschützer mit sicherheitsrelevantem Audioinput haben die Aufgabe, Sprachinformationen und Warnsignale wiederzugeben während Umgebungsgeräusche gedämmt werden. Sie können in einer ganzen Reihe von Arbeitssituationen Verwendung finden, z. B. im Bereich der Luftverkehrskommunikation, bei der Polizei sowie in der Rundfunk- und Unterhaltungsindustrie.
Protecteurs individuels contre le bruit - Exigences de sécurité et essais - Partie 6 : Serre-tête avec entrée audio
Le présent document est applicable aux serre-tête avec en supplément une entrée audio de sécurité. Ce signal audio peut être transmis par entrée électrique ou par tout autre moyen de communication tel que le Bluetooth . Il spécifie les exigences en matière de construction, de conception, de performances et de marquage ainsi que les informations destinées à l'utilisateur pour ce qui concerne l'incorporation de l'entrée audio de sécurité.
Les serre-tête avec entrée audio de sécurité sont conçus pour restituer des informations orales et des signaux d'avertissement tout en assurant l'affaiblissement des sons externes. Ils peuvent être utilisés dans différents environnements de travail, dans les communications aériennes, par les forces de police, par les professionnels de la radiodiffusion et du spectacle.
Varovala sluha - Varnostne zahteve - 6. del: Naušniki z varnostnim avdio vhodom
Ta dokument se uporablja za naušnike z varnostnim avdio vhodom. Zvočni signal se lahko prenaša prek električnega vhoda ali druge vrste komunikacije (npr. Bluetooth). Določa zahteve glede izdelave, zasnove, delovanja, označevanja in informacij za uporabnike v zvezi z vključitvijo varnostnega avdio vhoda.
Naušniki z varnostnim zvočnim vhodom so zasnovani za zagotavljanje govorjenih informacij in opozorilnih signalov ter dušenje zunanjega zvoka. Uporabljajo se lahko v različnih okoljih (npr. obveščanje o zračnem prometu, policija, radiodifuzijsko oddajanje in zabavna industrija).
