138 10.6 Safeguards against acoustic energy sources
139 10.6.1 General
140 Safeguard requirements for protection against long-term exposure to excessive sound pressure levels
141 from personal music players closely coupled to the ear are specified below. Requirements for earphones
142 and headphones intended for use with personal music players are also covered.
143 A personal music player is a portable equipment intended for use by an ordinary person, that:
144 — is designed to allow the user to listen to audio or audiovisual content / material; and
145 — uses a listening device, such as headphones or earphones that can be worn in or on or around the
146 ears; and
147 — has a player that can be body worn (of a size suitable to be carried in a clothing pocket) and is
148 intended for the user to walk around with while in continuous use (for example, on a street, in a
149 subway, at an airport, etc.).
150 EXAMPLES Portable CD players, MP3 audio players, mobile phones with MP3 type features, PDAs or similar
151 equipment.
152 Personal music players shall comply with the requirements of either 10.6.2 or 10.6.3.
153 NOTE 1 Protection against acoustic energy sources from telecom applications is referenced to ITU-T P.360.
154 NOTE 2 It is the intention of the Committee to allow the alternative methods for now, but to only use the dose
155 measurement method as given in 10.6.5 in future. Therefore, manufacturers are encouraged to implement 10.6.5 as
156 soon as possible.
157 Listening devices sold separately shall comply with the requirements of 10.6.6.
158 These requirements are valid for music or video mode only.
159 The requirements do not apply to:
160 — professional equipment;
161 NOTE 3 Professional equipment is equipment sold through special sales channels. All products sold through
162 normal electronics stores are considered not to be professional equipment.
163 — hearing aid equipment and other devices for assistive listening;
164 — the following type of analogue personal music players:
165 • long distance radio receiver (for example, a multiband radio receiver or world band radio
166 receiver, an AM radio receiver), and
167 • cassette player/recorder;
168 NOTE 4 This exemption has been allowed because this technology is falling out of use and it is expected that
169 within a few years it will no longer exist. This exemption will not be extended to other technologies.

prEN IEC 62368-1:2022/prAA:2022 (E)
170 — a player while connected to an external amplifier that does not allow the user to walk around while in
171 use.
172 For equipment that is clearly designed or intended primarily for use by children, the limits of the relevant
173 toy standards may apply.
174 The relevant requirements are given in EN 71-1:2014+A11:2018, 4.20 and the related tests methods and
175 measurement distances apply.
176 10.6.2 Classification of devices without the capacity to estimate sound dose
177 10.6.2.1 General
178 This standard is transitioning from short-term based (30 s) requirements to long-term based (40 h)
179 requirements. These clauses remain in effect only for devices that do not comply with sound dose
180 estimation as stipulated in EN 50332-3.
181 For classifying the acoustic output L , , measurements are based on the A-weighted equivalent sound
Aeq T
182 pressure level over a 30 s period.
183 For music where the average sound pressure (long term L , ) measured over the duration of the song is
Aeq T
184 lower than the average produced by the programme simulation noise, measurements may be done over
185 the duration of the complete song. In this case, T becomes the duration of the song.
186 NOTE Classical music, acoustic music and broadcast typically has an average sound pressure (long term LAeq,T)
187 which is much lower than the average programme simulation noise. Therefore, if the player is capable to analyse the
188 content and compare it with the programme simulation noise, the warning does not need to be given as long as the
189 average sound pressure of the song does not exceed the required limit.
190 For example, if the player is set with the programme simulation noise to 85 dB, but the average music
191 level of the song is only 65 dB, there is no need to give a warning or ask an acknowledgement as long as
192 the average sound level of the song is not above the basic limit of 85 dB.
193 10.6.2.2 RS1 limits (to be superseded, see 10.6.3.2)
194 RS1 is a class 1 acoustic energy source that does not exceed the following:
195 — for equipment provided as a package (player with its listening device), and with a proprietary
196 connector between the player and its listening device, or where the combination of player and
197 listening device is known by other means such as setting or automatic detection, the L , acoustic
Aeq T
198 output shall be ≤ 85 dB when playing the fixed “programme simulation noise” described in
199 EN 50332-1.
200 — for equipment provided with a standardized connector (for example, a 3,5 phone jack) that allows
201 connection to a listening device for general use, the unweighted r.m.s. output voltage shall
202 be ≤ 27 mV (analogue interface) or −25 dBFS (digital interface) when playing the fixed “programme
203 simulation noise” described in EN 50332-1.
204 — The RS1 limits will be updated for all devices as per 10.6.3.2.
205 10.6.2.3 RS2 limits (to be superseded, see 10.6.3.3)
206 RS2 is a class 2 acoustic energy source that does not exceed the following:
207 — for equipment provided as a package (player with its listening device), and with a proprietary
208 connector between the player and its listening device, or when the combination of player and
209 listening device is known by other means such as setting or automatic detection, the L , acoustic

265 equipment is operated with an output exceeding RS1. Any means used shall be acknowledged by the
266 user before activating a mode of operation which allows for an output exceeding RS1. The
267 acknowledgement does not need to be repeated more than once every 20 h of cumulative listening time.
268 NOTE 2 Examples of means include visual or audible signals. Action from the user is always needed.
269 NOTE 3 The 20 h listening time is the accumulative listening time, independent of how often and how long the
270 personal music player has been switched off.
271 A skilled person shall not be unintentionally exposed to RS3.
272 10.6.5 Requirements for dose-based systems
273 10.6.5.1 General requirements
274 Personal music players shall give the warnings as provided below when tested according to EN 50332-3,
275 using the limits from this clause.
276 The manufacturer may offer optional settings to allow the users to modify when and how they wish to
277 receive the notifications and warnings to promote a better user experience without defeating the
278 safeguards. This allows the users to be informed in a method that best meets their physical capabilities
279 and device usage needs. If such optional settings are offered, an administrator (for example, parental
280 restrictions, business/educational administrators, etc.) shall be able to lock any optional settings into a
281 specific configuration.
282 The personal music player shall be supplied with easy to understand explanation to the user of the dose
283 management system, the risks involved, and how to use the system safely. The user shall be made
284 aware that other sources may significantly contribute to their sound exposure, for example work,
285 transportation, concerts, clubs, cinema, car races, etc.
286 10.6.5.2 Dose-based warning and requirements
287 When a dose of 100 % CSD is reached, and at least at every 100 % further increase of CSD, the device
288 shall warn the user and require an acknowledgement. In case the user does not acknowledge, the output
289 level shall automatically decrease to compliance with class RS1.
290 The warning shall at least clearly indicate that listening above 100 % CSD leads to the risk of hearing
291 damage or loss.

292 10.6.5.3 Exposure-based requirements
293 With only dose-based requirements, cause and effect could be far separated in time, defying the purpose
294 of educating users about safe listening practice. In addition to dose-based requirements, a PMP shall
295 therefore also put a limit to the short-term sound level a user can listen at.
296 The exposure-based limiter (EL) shall automatically reduce the sound level not to exceed 100 dB(A) or
297 150 mV integrated over the past 180 s
