The design of air-conditioning holes if any shall prevent accidental

32、contact with live parts and provide a degree of protection IP3X (see 6.2.2). 5.3 Electrical requirements Insulating helmet shell shall pass a proof voltage test and a withstand voltage test according to 6.3.EN 50365:2002 - 6 - 5.4 Marking 5.4.1 The additional marking to those required by appropriate

33、 helmet standard shall be the following (see Figure 2): - symbol (double triangle); - class; - serial or batch number. 5.4.2 The marking shall be durable, clearly legible on the bottom of the helmet shell peak and shall not impair its quality. 5.4.3 If a colour code is used, the symbol (double trian

34、gle) shall be red. 5.5 Packaging The type of packaging suitable for transport shall be defined by the manufacturer. The packaging of each helmet shall have sufficient strength to protect the helmet from damage properly. The outside of packaging shall be marked with the name of the manufacturer or su

35、pplier, classification, size and design. 5.6 Instructions for use The instruction for use shall contain the information according to Annex B. 6 Tests 6.1 General Tests are type and sampling tests. For type tests, three helmet shells shall be used. A type test shall be performed on each helmet. 6.2 N

36、on-electrical tests 6.2.1 Visual inspection and dimensions The compliance with the requirements of 5.1 and 5.3 shall be checked. 6.2.2 Design of air-conditioning holes The helmet has to be tested on testing head form type K and D according to EN 960. The testing head forms have to be wrapped up in a

37、luminium foil. An electric circuit in the sense of a continuity check has to be built up between a IP3X testing wire according to EN 60529 and the aluminium foil in order to prove that there is an electric contact between both parts. Each air-conditioning hole has to be tested by a wire which fulfil

38、s the requirements of EN 60529. The wire has to be inserted as deep as possible. Then the wire shall be moved free in all directions. The test is considered as passed if the wire does not get in contact with the testing head form during the test.- 7 - EN 50365:2002 6.3 Electrical tests 6.3.1 General

39、 Electrical type tests shall be performed in a room where temperature is (23 2) C and (50 5) % relative humidity (see HD 437, standard atmosphere B). Electrical tests shall only be performed on whole helmet shells. Tests arrangements, power sources and procedures shall be in accordance with HD 588.1

40、/EN 60060-2. Type and sampling tests are destructive, therefore tested helmet shells shall be destroyed after the completion of the tests. 6.3.2 Test arrangement The helmet shell shall be fixed in an appropriated manner (see Figure 1). Then the tank and the inner side of the shell shall be filled wi

41、th tap water. The vertical clearance value d between the helmet shell bram and the level of water shall be the same inside and outside. The clearance value d shall be (20 3) mm for the proof voltage test according to 6.3.4 and (40 3) mm for the withstand voltage test according to 6.3.5. The water in

42、side the helmet shell shall be connected to the high voltage terminal of the supply. The water in the tank outside the helmet shell shall be connected to the ground. 6.3.3 Preconditioning Helmet shells submitted to test shall be treated preliminary on the internal and external surface with mechanica

43、l action by sand paper rougher than P 80 according ISO/DIS 6344-1 in order to remove eventual films of paints or other substances on the surface. The mechanical action shall not damage the underlying material. In case of helmet shells provided with air-conditioning holes, these holes shall be closed

44、 with insulating material. NOTE Holes can be closed with electricians putty or two-component adhesive. Then the helmet shells shall be preconditioned by immersing in tap water for at least (24 0,5) h. Before carrying out the test, the helmet shells shall be wiped off. The test shall not begin later

45、than 5 minutes after removing from the water tank. 6.3.4 Proof voltage test Each unit shall be submitted to a proof test voltage given in Table 1. The alternating voltage shall be initially applied at a low value and gradually increased at a constant rate-of rise of approximately 1 000 V/s until the

46、 specified voltage level is reached or failure occurs. For the type and the sampling tests the voltage shall be applied continuously for a duration of not less than 3 minutes. The test is considered as passed if the specified test voltage is reached and maintained for the specified duration and the

47、proof-test current does not exceed the relevant value specified in Table 1 at any time during the proof voltage test period.EN 50365:2002 - 8 - 6.3.5 Withstand voltage test Each unit shall be submitted to a withstand test voltage given in Table 1. The alternating voltage shall be applied gradually u

48、ntil the specified value is reached, then it shall be reduced immediately. The rate of change of voltage both up and down shall be 1000 V/s. The test is considered as passed if no puncture occurs.

The test shall be considered as passed if the marking remains easily legible and has not curled or become detached. In case of molded or engraved markings the test is considered as passed without executing. 6.5 Packaging Compliance with the requirements of 5.4 shall be verified by visual i
