Hearing protection devices, including earplugs and earmuffs, are made from materials such as memory foam, silicone, and thermoplastics, designed to provide noise attenuation while maintaining comfort. These materials must be durable, resistant to wear, and effective in reducing hazardous noise exposure. BSI provides comprehensive testing and certification to ensure compliance with international safety standards, assessing factors such as noise reduction, pressure distribution, comfort, and resistance to environmental conditions.
We test products including hearing protectors (EN 352 series), industrial earplugs and earmuffs (EN 458), and acoustic performance of hearing protection (ISO 4869 series). In addition to regulatory compliance, BSI offers the globally recognized BSI Kitemark certification, showing superior product quality and reliability. The Kitemark differentiates your products, enhances consumer confidence, and ensures ongoing quality through continuous monitoring.
BSI also offers PPE testing and certification for respiratory protection devices, head protection, eyewear, gloves and condoms, protective clothing, footwear, and floatation devices.
