General Information
- Abstract
This document specifies assumed working life requirements and is also intended to assist suppliers in its prediction.
It is to be used only for devices manufactured from materials covered by documents which allow prediction of working life (see Annex B). Materials excepted are those which do not affect the non acoustic performance of the device required by EN 1794 parts 1 and 2.
Standards of construction and any material tests conducted should provide evidence of resistance to specified conditions selected from the following:
