Hi Folks, Has anyone heard about the France Decree - Article L. 5232-1 of the Public Health Code on personal stereo equipment? It's going to limit SPL (Sound Pressure Level) from personal stereo equipment to 100 dB. If this decree has been enacted, then the enforced date will be from 1 May 2006.
I am not sure if this France Decree is still a proposed draft or has been officially published and enacted? P.S. Personal Stereo Equipment such as portable apparatus that constitutes allowing the sound reproduction or the radiophonic reception, or both, by means of a headphone or earphones diffusing the sound with the ears of the user and that this one can use while moving. This may include but not limit to musical Walkmans, MP3 players, PDAs, and Mobile Phones, etc. Thanks, Anderson Cheng Product Safety & Environmental Manager HTC Corporation +886-2-8912 4138 ext. 8393 anderson_ch...@htc.com.tw CONFIDENTIALITY NOTE : The information in this e-mail is confidential and privileged; it is intended for use solely by the individual or entity named as the recipient hereof.
