EN 13484:2012 (E) DIN EN 13484:2012-054Introduction The intention of helmets is to reduce the risk of injury to the skull and part of the head surrounded by th

26、e helmet. The protection given by a helmet depends on the circumstances of the accident and wearing a helmet cannot always prevent death or long term disability. In this European Standard, the concept of optimum level of protection has been taken into account. This means that the protection efficien

27、cy is as high as possible, without decreasing the wearers acceptance to the extent that she/he will not wear it, because of discomfort caused by the increase of the mass and dimensions. A proportion of the energy of an impact is absorbed by the helmet, thereby reducing the force of the blow sustaine

28、d by the head. The structure of the helmet can be damaged in absorbing this energy and any helmet that sustains a severe blow should be replaced even if damage is not apparent. To achieve the performance of which it is capable, and to ensure stability on the head, a helmet should be as closely fitti

29、ng as possible consistent with comfort. In use it is essential that the helmet is securely fastened, with any chin strap under proper tension at all times. EN 13484:2012 (E) DIN EN 13484:2012-055 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the minimum performance requirements and test methods for helme

Requirements and the corresponding methods of test, where appropriate, are given for the following: construction including field of vision; shock absorbing properties; resistance to penetration; retention system properties; marking and informatio
