What is the noise reduction rating?
The EP17 is certified to EN 352-2 with a Single Number Rating (SNR) of 27dB.
Are the ear plugs attached to each other?
Are the ear plugs attached to each other?
Yes. Both tapered foam tips sit on a blue PP band, so you always have both plugs together rather than searching for a dropped one.
Can I take them out and put them back in later?
Can I take them out and put them back in later?
Yes - when you don't need hearing protection, unhook the plugs from your ears and let the band hang around your neck, then reinsert when the noise starts again.
Are these disposable or reusable?
Are these disposable or reusable?
The foam tips are a single-use design, the same as our other Portwest foam ear plugs. The band adds convenience between insertions rather than making them a long-term reusable product.
How are they packed?
How are they packed?
Each pair is individually packed, which suits vending machines as well as site dispenser points.
What certification do they carry?
What certification do they carry?
They are CE-CAT III certified, Portwest's category for PPE against risks that could cause irreversible harm, such as hearing damage.
Is there a size fitting needed?
Is there a size fitting needed?
No - the tapered foam tip is a universal unisex fit that compresses to suit most ear canal sizes.
