28、 may not have a peak, for people involved in equestrian activities. It gives safety requirements that include methods of test and levels of performance for shock absorption, for resistance to penetration and for the strength and effectiveness of the retention system and the deflection of a peak if f

These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or
30、 revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

32、European Standard, the following definitions apply. 3.1 shell the material that provides the hard outer case of the helmet 3.2 protective padding (liner) padding material provided to absorb impact energy 3.3 comfort padding or size padding padding material provided to ensure comfortable and correct
33、fit 3.4 cradle the headband or other head fitting and those internal parts of the helmet other than the padding, which are in contact with the head 3.5 retention system the complete assembly by means of which the helmet is maintained in position on the head, including any devices for adjustment of t
34、he system or to enhance the wearers comfort 3.6 draw-lace a lace used by the wearer for making adjustments to the fit of the cradle on the head 3.7 chin strap part of the retention system consisting of a strap that passes under the wearers jaw to keep the helmet in position EN 1384:1996 4 BSI 28 Feb
35、ruary 2002 3.8 chin cup a cup mounted on the retention system to locate the strap on the point of the wearers chin 3.9 helmet type category of helmets which does not differ in such essential respects as the materials, construction of the helmet, retention system or protective padding NOTE Different
36、sizes of the same design do not constitute different helmet types. 3.10 peak an extension from the basic form of the helmet above the eyes 3.11 area of protection the minimum area of the headform covered by the protective padding (liner) 4 Construction 4.1 General The helmet may be constructed eithe
37、r with or without a shell, and with or without means of ventilation. If a shell is used, then protective padding shall be securely fastened to it. The helmet shall not be fitted with nor have a chin cup. The minimum thickness of the protective padding (liner), measured at 12 mm from the edge of the
38、area of protection, shall not be less than the minimum thickness of the protective padding (liner) in the test area as defined in 6.1. 4.2 Materials The characteristics of the materials used in the manufacture of helmets shall be not generally known to undergo substantial reduction in protective abi
39、lity under the influence of ageing, or during the circumstances of use to which the helmet is normally subjected. For those parts of the helmet coming into contact with the skin, the materials used shall be not generally known to undergo reduction in protective ability arising from the effects of sw
40、eat or of toiletries. The manufacturer shall not use materials generally known to cause skin disorders of a non-allergic type. 4.3 Finish All edges shall be smooth and rounded. There shall be no rigid projections on the inside of the helmet. Any external projection shall not exceed 5 mm or shall be
41、smoothly faired to the adjacent surface, except for a button on the top of the helmet and a peak. 4.4 Retention system A retention system shall be permanently fixed to the helmet and shall incorporate a chin strap not less than 15 mm wide. The system shall be permanently fitted with fastening and ad
42、justment devices which may be combined. The retention system shall be freed by deliberate action only. The fastening and adjusting devices shall have no sharp edges. NOTE 1It is recommended that the part of the device intended to be operated by the wearer to cause the device to open is coloured oran
43、ge or red. NOTE 2It is permissible for the system to include padding or other means of enhancing comfort to the wearer. The chin strap (see 3.7) shall not have a chin cup. 4.5 Headforms The headforms shown in Table 1 shall be used for helmet sizing, extent of protection, retention effectiveness and
44、retention strength. EN 1384:1996 BSI 28 February 2002 5 Table 1 Headforms for sizing, extent of protection, retention effectiveness and retention strength 5 Performance requirements 5.1 Shock absorption When tested by the method in 6.4 the acceleration shall not exceed 250 g at any time, and the tot
45、al time during which it exceeds 150 g shall not be greater than 5 ms. The helmet shall remain on the headform and the retention system shall remain fastened. 5.2 Penetration When tested by the method described in 6.5, the point of the striker shall not leave visible indentation on the test block. 5.
46、3 Retention system strength When tested by the method described in 6.6, using a drop height of (250 5) mm between the facing surfaces of the drop-weight and anvil, the dynamic extension of the retention system, including slippage of the buckle, as measured by displacement of the simulated chin, shal
47、l not exceed 35 mm and the residual extension, with the drop-weight at rest on the anvil, shall not exceed 25 mm. Without load on the system any damage to the retention system shall still permit release of the buckle. 5.4 Retention system effectiveness When the helmet is fitted to an appropriate siz
48、e headform and is subjected to the test described in 6.7, the helmet shall remain on the headform. 5.5 Peak deflection Where the helmet has a peak, when the peak is tested by the method described in 6.8, the deflection at the lateral mid-point of the front edge of the peak shall be greater than 6.0
