Protecteurs individuels contre le bruit - Exigences de sécurité et essais - Partie 5 : Serre-tête à atténuation active du bruit

Le présent document est applicable aux serre-tête à atténuation active du bruit (ANR). 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 du dispositif d'atténuation active du bruit.
Les serre-tête à atténuation active du bruit sont conçus pour assurer un affaiblissement supplémentaire des sons externes au moyen d'un circuit anti-bruit. En général, cet affaiblissement supplémentaire est assuré aux basses et moyennes fréquences. Ce type de protecteur peut être sélectionné pour des environnements de bruit élevé dominés par les basses fréquences.
