18、f national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. In

19、ternational organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with

20、the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval

21、 by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights.

22、 ISO/TC 43, Acoustics, Subcommittee SC 1, Noise. This first edition of ISO 4869-3 cancels and replaces ISO/TR 4869-3:1989, which has been technically revised. The technical changes are as follows: a) the title has been changed and the standard has been revised; b) the content of the former subclause

23、 on “test signal” has been included in the subclause “Measuring system”; c) the subclause “Measuring system” no longer contains specific requirements concerning the measuring system; d) Annex B, dealing with uncertainty, has been added.

EN ISO 4869-3:2007iv Introduction A Technical Report describing the use of an acoustic test fixture (ATF) to measure the insertion loss of ear-muff type protectors was published as ISO/TR 4869-3 in 1989. As testing laboratories around the world commonly use the ATF, it wa

27、s decided that this Technical Report should be revised and changed into an International Standard. Compared to the original Technical Report, the most important aspect of this part of ISO 4869 is the specification of the ATF. The ATF specified herein is not intended to supplant those dummy heads whi

28、ch include simulation of various anatomical features and which are used, for example, for development testing purposes. The method specified in this part of ISO 4869 does not provide results which are the same as those obtained by the subjective method, ISO 4869-1. EN ISO 4869-3:20071Acoustics Heari

29、ng protectors Part 3: Measurement of insertion loss of ear-muff type protectors using an acoustic test fixture 1 Scope This part of ISO 4869 specifies a method for measuring the insertion loss of ear-muff type hearing protectors using an acoustic test fixture. The method is applicable to the investi

30、gation of production spreads of performance as part of type approval or certification procedures, and to the investigation of the change of performance with age. It is intended to ensure that ear-muff hearing protector samples submitted for subjective testing of attenuation according to ISO 4869-1 h

31、ave performances typical of the type. The method specified in this part of ISO 4869 is not applicable as the basic test for type approval. Performance data obtained by this method are not intended to be quoted as representing the real-ear sound attenuation of an ear-muff, nor the protection provided

32、 by the ear-muff. For the testing of certain ear-muffs (such as those attached to safety helmets, or those with contoured ear-cups or ear-cushions, or supra-aural ear-muffs), the procedure described in this part of ISO 4869 might need to be modified. 2 Normative references The following referenced d

42、g the centres of the two end faces of the acoustic test fixture EN ISO 4869-3:200734 Measurement principle The level of a test signal in a defined sound field is measured by a microphone located in an acoustic test fixture (ATF). The level is measured without and with the microphone being occluded b

43、y the ear-muff under test. The difference between the two measurement results is the insertion loss of the hearing protector. The ATF shall allow an ear-muff to be placed properly by positioning one ear-cup of the hearing protector over a measuring microphone. 5 Measurement of the insertion loss of

44、ear-muffs 5.1 Acoustic test fixture (ATF) 5.1.1 General An example of an ATF is given in Figure 1. 5.1.2 Description The ATF shall be made of a non-magnetic material, for example aluminium alloy or brass. It shall be in the shape of a cylinder with its axis horizontal and with (145 1) mm between the

45、 centres of the two end faces. The diameter of the cylinder shall be (135 5) mm. The angles of each of the two end faces shall be inclined towards the top at 4,5 0,5 to a vertical plane. The measuring microphone shall be of type WS1P or WS2P in accordance with IEC 61094-4. It shall be of the pressur

46、e-operated condenser type. The microphone shall be placed with its centre axis coinciding with the centre axis of the cylinder. The centre of the microphone diaphragm shall be in the plane of one of the end faces of the cylinder on the centre line. See Figure 2. To reduce structure-borne sound, the

47、ATF shall be supported in the test sound field with a resilient mounting so as to achieve a sufficiently low noise floor. The vertical and horizontal diameters shall be marked at the end faces of the ATF, along with two or three concentric circles of suitable radius to help in positioning the ear-mu

48、ff properly. The marking shall not produce any acoustical leakage. It may be necessary to equalize the static pressure under the ear-muff during fitting. This may be achieved by: a) a capillary tube that is placed between the cushion and the ATF surface during the fitting of the ear-muff to the fixt

49、ure, and which is removed before the measurements; care shall be taken not to permanently deform the cushion; b) a fixed capillary tube connecting the cavity under the ear-muff to the external air; the tube shall be of diameter 0,5 mm, of length 25 mm, parallel with and near to the axis of the microphone of the acoustic test fixture, partly closed by a wire of diameter 0,4 mm and combined with a tube of diameter about 3 mm extending from the bottom of the cylinder perpendicular to
