Hearing protection devices have become a crucial part of occupational noise management and hearing conservation programs. Different test methods and product requirement have been developed and standardized to be able to provide information about the product performance to the user or the decision maker. This information is the basis for correct selection of products in various situations. However, the methods for product testing as well as the requirements on products varies between different parts of the world. Recently the eight parts of the product requirement standard EN352 as well as the two test parts of the method standard EN13819 have been revised in Europe. In addition, two new parts of EN352 and on new part of EN13819 have been developed. This presentation will give an overview of the structure of hearing protection related standards in Europe, as well as review the recent changes to these standards. Similarities and differences compare to American ANSI standards will also be highlighted.

1) Recognize the structure of Hearing Protection Device standards in Europe.
