The new regulation has been created to enhance consumer safety and ensure fair competition between companies who provide the best PPE for their sector. Changes made to this new Regulation include moving Hearing Protection from Category II to Category III. This category exclusively includes the risk that harmful noise may cause very serious consequences such as irreversible damage to health. The PPE Regulation does not apply to the armed forces or those in the maintenance of law and order. Health and Safety officers, from April 2018, must also make sure that the hearing protection products used by employees comply with the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Regulation (EU)2016/425. European standards have high status globally for being effective in setting performance levels and are used in many countries where they do not have their own product standards. All ACS hearing protection products conform to these standards accordingly and hold EU Type Examination certification.
