SENNHEISER - Specialist Headsets from Polaris Telecoms

The Noise At Work Directive - European Union Requirements

The EU's new "Noise At Work Directive" sets limits for two types of noise in the workplace:

• Acoustic Bursts
• Sustained Noise

The requirements came into force in 2006, and Polaris Telecoms offer a solution to organisations using telephone headsets.  Sennheiser Communications have produced a range of headsets which comply with the new limits and these are available, either online, or through an account with Polaris where additional discounts are available (contact … etc.)

Acoustic Bursts

To safeguard your hearing, all Sennheiser Communications headsets are equipped with ActiveGard™, a dynamic system that automatically reduces the level of incoming sounds that are too loud.  The technology uses advanced algorithms to ensure maximum protection, without compromising speech intelligibility.  The noise limits are set for transient peaks to 105dB, significantly lower than the limits set by the Directive.

Sustained Noise

The new Sennhaiser UI 740 EU active interface box provides an advanced solution to high levels of sustained noise, bringing any telecom headset from Sennheiser Communications into full compliance with the Noise At Work Directive (excluding ambient noise).  The unit will limit sustained noise levels to 85dB, and will allow further user adjustment to levels below 80dB.
