FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS REMOVAL OF THIS LABEL

EPA LABEL REQUIRED BY US EPA REGULATION 40 CFR PART 211 SUBPART B

CE TESTED AND CERTIFIED EN352-2

CAUTION:

  1. The environmental noise level as measured at the ear is 92 dBA.
  2. The NRR is (value on label) decibels (dB).
  3. The level of noise entering the ear is approximately equal to [92dB(A)—NRR] dB(A).

For noise environments dominated by frequencies below 500 Hz the C-weighted environmental noise level should be used. Improper fit of this device will reduce its effectiveness in attenuating noise. Consult the enclosed instructions for proper fit. Although hearing protectors can be recommended for protection against the harmful effects of impulsive noise, the Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) is based on the attenuation of continuous noise and may not be an accurate indicator of the protection attainable against impulsive noise such as gunfire.
