MArKING
DefinitionsEar Protectors: PPes which reduce noise effects in audition, in order to
avoid the pains in the ear, due to its properties for noise attenuation. the
compulsory usage of the auditive protectors will be specified in the Real
Decree 1310/89.
dB (A): Decibels. Main unit used for the power level or intensity level
of the sound. the daily exposure of a worker to the noise, daily level of
equivalence, its expressed in dB (A), calculated and referred to 8 hours a
day.
Peak acoustic pressure (Ppeak): the maximum value of unweighted
instantaneous sound pressure << C >> in frequency.
Daily exposure level to the noise (LEX, 8h) (dB (A), ref 20 μPa):
the average weighted in the time for the exposure levels to the noise, for
a working shift of 8 hours, as it is specified in the international standard
iso 1999:1990.
SNR (Simplified Noise level Reduction): is an ear defender average
sound noise reduction.

According to the Directive 2003/10/EC of the 06/05/2003, published the 15/02/2003 andapplicable from 2006, the users will have the appropriate ear protector up to the constant noiseof 80 dB. Beyond this security limit could appear injuries.
Essential to know the Ear Protector:• Know the noise intensity.• Know the SNR of the Ear Protector.
Calculation to choose the most suitable Protec-tor:
