Description

uvex K30H are dielectric, high-protection earmuffs that can be directly attached to helmets with a 30 mm Euroslot. When used in combination with the uvex pheos E helmet, the new plastic arm ensures safety during electrical work. The length of the soft arm can be adjusted to ensure perfect positioning. The earmuffs can be quickly and easily moved into the operating, standby and resting positions with a rotate and swivel motion. The memory foam sealing pads create an excellent seal and fit around the head. If using the earmuffs in applications with high hygiene requirements, we recommend using the hygiene kit, article no. 259997. Regularly changing the sealing pads provides a secure seal and extends the service life of the earmuffs.

SLC80 23dB

This hearing protection product complies with the Australia/New Zealand standard and has been tested in accordance with AS/NZS 1270.

It has an SLC80 rating of 23 (which in rough terms means it blocks about 23dB of noise) and is a Class 5 hearing protector.

  • Class 1: SLC80 10–13 - Suitable for <90 dB noise levels
  • Class 2: SLC80 14–17 - Suitable for <90-95 dB noise levels
  • Class 3: SLC80 18-21 - Suitable for <95-100 dB noise levels
  • Class 4: SLC80 22-25 - Suitable for <100-105 dB noise levels
  • Class 5: SLC80 ≥26 - Suitable for <105-110 dB noise levels

SLC80 Explained

Under AS/NZS 1270:2002, hearing protection is tested for its Sound Level Conversion (SLC80) rating, which indicates the difference between the environmental noise and the sound reaching the wearer’s ears. This rating helps determine the appropriate Class of hearing protection for specific noise levels.

Australian and New Zealand workplaces are obligated under AS/NZS 1269.3:2005 to:

  • Conduct noise level surveys to assess exposure (measured as LAeq,8h).
  • Provide suitable hearing protection for workers exposed to noise above 85 dB(A).
  • Ensure hearing protection is maintained and properly fitted to achieve effective attenuation.

Employers must select hearing protection suitable for the measured noise levels, ensuring compliance with occupational noise management regulations.

NRR 26

An NRR of 26 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 26 decibels across various frequencies.

'NRR' in hearing protection stands for 'Noise Reduction Rating,' which is a single value used to indicate the average level of noise reduction a hearing protection device provides across different frequencies, essentially telling you how much sound attenuation the earplugs or earmuffs will offer when worn correctly; the higher the NRR value, the greater the noise reduction level is considered to be.

NRR is primarily used as a rating system in North America, while Europe often uses 'SNR' (Single Number Rating) and Australia/New Zealand use 'SLC80'; which both differ slightly in calculation.

SNR 34

An SNR of 34 means that the hearing protection is estimated to reduce noise levels by an average of 34 decibels across various frequencies.

'SNR' in hearing protection stands for 'Single Number Rating,' which is a single value used to indicate the average level of noise reduction a hearing protection device provides across different frequencies, essentially telling you how much sound attenuation the earplugs or earmuffs will offer when worn correctly; the higher the SNR value, the greater the noise reduction level is considered to be.

SNR is primarily used as a rating system in Europe, while North America often uses 'NRR' (Noise Reduction Rating) and Australia/New Zealand use 'SLC80'; which both differ slightly in calculation.

Product Care

Cleaning

  • Wipe the ear cups and headband with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and oils.
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals, bleach, or submerging the earmuffs in water, as this may damage the materials.
  • Allow the earmuffs to air dry completely before storing or reusing them.

Storage

  • Store the earmuffs in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Use the original packaging or a protective case to prevent dust accumulation and physical damage when not in use.
  • Avoid placing heavy objects on top of the earmuffs to maintain their shape and effectiveness.
