Zx.1 General
This sub-clause specifies requirements for
protection against excessive sound pressure from
personal music players that are closely coupled to
the ear. It also specifies requirements for
earphones and headphones intended for use with
personal music players.
This sub-clause specifies requirements for
protection against excessive sound pressure from
personal music players that are closely coupled to
the ear. It also specifies requirements for
earphones and headphones intended for use with
personal music players.
A personal music player is a portable equipment?
for personal use, that:
- is designed to allow the user to listen to
recorded or broadcast sound or video; and
- primarily uses headphones or earphones that
can be worn in or on or around the ears; and
- allows the user to walk around while in use.

NOTE 1 Examples are hand-held or body-worn portable CD
players, MP3 audio players, mobile phones with MP3 type
features, PDA’s or similar equipment.

NOTE 4 Classical music typically has an average sound

average programme simulation noise. Therefore, if the player
is capable to analyse the song and compare it with the
programme simulation noise, the warning does not need to be
given as long as the average sound pressure of the song is
below the basic limit of 85 dBA.
For example, if the player is set with the programme simulation
noise to 85 dBA, but the average music level of the song is
only 65 dBA, there is no need to give a warning or ask an
acknowledgement as long as the average sound level of the
song is not above the basic limit of 85 dBA.
