Product Information

This OC informs inspectors of the implementation of the above 'consumer product safety' regulations and gives a brief summary of the Regulations and their commencement dates. Introduction

These are generally warmed in the hand and then moulded to fit into your ear (they form a seal over the ear canal rather than being inserted into it). Custom plugs made of harder materials, or generic plugs that are too big or small, can rub where they sit in the ear and make it tender and painful. If worn inappropriately they can even break the skin. Disposable ear plugs will cost you more over time as you'll need to keep buying them. Some can be re-used up to 100 times, while others will need replacing almost daily. Most standard ear plugs (not ear defenders for work such as road drilling, or very loud activities) are made of one of three materials: wax, silicone or foam, each with different pros and cons.

Safety

Make sure you choose ones that state they have the right level of hearing protection. For example, if the DIY noise was 100dB and you wore ear plugs reducing it by 15dB, this should mean you're hearing a safe 85dB. Australian & New Zealand Plug 2 Pole 10 A, 250 V Non Rewireable Male, Straight ( Clarke cable part number C4 ) For the purposes of these Regulations an appliance ordinarily intended for domestic use is taken to mean one that is intended for private use at home. Because of the inaccessible nature of the original fitted plugs, the exact fault could not be identified, nevertheless this kind of experience creates a deep mistrust of the seemingly innocuous moulded plugs when carrying near to their rated maximum current. All other suppliers (ie distributors, retailers etc) will have to comply with effect from 1 February 1996. Regulations revoked

The ears are a dark warm place, which makes them a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Clean reusable ear plugs regularly and only put clean ear plugs into your ears to avoid bacteria build-up and infections. And don't be tempted to reuse disposable ones many times! The reason they have special/specific plugs is that this circuit only has a 5amp fuse so you would never want to plug in most normal appliances. Prices vary most in this category. They can be soft and mouldable or a more traditional ear bud. They tend to be reusable and lighter (although there are harder ones too). All UK plugs have fuses fitted. These are to protect the flex rather than the appliance. Without a fuse, the only protection will be at the consumer unit and will typically be a 30A fuse or 32A circuit breaker.

Pricier products tend to have extras, such as a range of differently sized ear bud tips, soft medical-grade silicone, or performance coatings (eg aloe vera or antibacterial silver, hypoallergenic).
