non-conductive (sometimes referred to as 'dielectric') material whilst
the metal components of the attachment mechanisms are covered
in non-conductive material. The metal wire of the headband
earmuffs are covered in a non-conductive material. These products
were found to be electrically insulated, withstanding a voltage up to
1,2kV, at an external laboratory against a modified test method
based on EN 397:2012 under dry conditions. The user must

damaged.
• The fitting of hygiene covers to the cushions may affect the
acoustic performance of the ear muffs.
• Do not modify or repair this product.
• Ear muffs, and in particular cushions, may deteriorate with use
and should be examined at frequent intervals for cracking and
leakage, for example.
• The acoustic seal may be adversely affected by wearing other
equipment, such as spectacles, respirators etc. This may
reduce attenuation. If in doubt, contact an occupational
