18.2 ANSI

QUIETPRO units are tested and approved in accordance with ANSI S3.19-1974 standard. QUIETPRO
attenuation data according to American National Standards Institute Specifications ANSI S3.19-1974
(in passive mode, electronics switched off) when used together with the disposable eartip PROTIPS:
Frequency, [Hz] 125
Mean 35.0
attenuation, [dB]
Standard 4.8
Deviation, [dB]
CANADA Class A(L) NRR29
Information required by E.P.A:
The level of noise entering a person's ear, when hearing protection is worn as directed, is closely
approximated by the difference between the A-weighted environmental level and the NRR.
Example: 1. The environmental noise level at the ear is 92 dB(A).
2. The NRR is 29 decibels (dB)
3. The level of noise entering the ear is approximately equal to 63 dB(A).
! CAUTION For noise environments dominated by frequencies below 500Hz, the C-weighted
environmental noise level should be used. Improper fit of this device will reduce its effective-
ness in attenuating noise. Although hearing protectors can be recommended for protection
against the harmful effects of impulse noise, the Noise Reduction Ration (NRR) is based on
the attenuation of continuous noise and may not be an accurate indicator of the protection
attainable against impulse noise, such as gunfire.
The Noise Reduction Rating is derived from testing procedures at an independent laboratory
! CAUTION
and in accordance to acceptable A.N.S.I standards. Actual noise reduction can vary from
laboratory results as labeled. Protection is maximized when: Proper protector is selected for
application, a good training program is utilized and proper fitting techniques are followed.
