The standard defines how the noise reduction level (NRR) of a product should be determined and how it should be reported. Test results should show the NRR of the product, which is a measure of how much noise the product can reduce. The NRR is typically between 0 and 35 decibels. The standard also includes requirements for labeling and instructions for use.
