non-conductive (sometimes referred to as 'dielectric') material whilst
the metal components of the attachment mechanisms are covered
in non-conductive material. The metal wire of the headband
earmuffs are covered in a non-conductive material. These products
were found to be electrically insulated, withstanding a voltage up to
1,2kV, at an external laboratory against a modified test method
based on EN 397:2012 under dry conditions. The user must
determine the overall suitability of this product for the intended
application taking into account any hazards other than noise for

equipment, such as spectacles, respirators etc. This may
reduce attenuation. If in doubt, contact your safety officer or 3M.
