24、d performance requirements, methods of test and marking requirements for industrial bump caps. Industrial bump caps are intended to provide protection to the wearer against the effects of striking his head against hard, stationary objects with sufficient severity to cause laceration or other superfi

25、cial injuries. They are not intended to provide protection against the effects of falling or thrown objects, or moving or suspended loads. NOTE An industrial bump cap should not be confused with an industrial safety helmet, as specified in EN 397. 2 Normative references The following referenced docu

26、ments are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 960:2006, Headforms for use in the testing of protective helmets ISO 6487:2

34、se; that part of the bump cap shell or of the headband where the chin strap is attached. 3.7 bump cap accessories any additional parts for special purposes NOTE Examples of accessories are chin strap, neck protector, nape strap, external coverings. 3.8 wearing height vertical distance from the lower

35、 edge of the headband, if fitted, (or from the lower edge of the bump cap if there is no headband) to the highest point of the headform on which the bump cap is mounted, measured either at the front (midway between the sides of the headform) and at the side (midway between the front and back of the

36、headform) whichever gives the greater distance DIN EN 812:2012-04 EN 812:2012 (E) 7 4 Physical requirements 4.1 Materials and construction The bump cap may consist of a smooth shell, which may be enclosed by an outer covering. The bump cap shall incorporate means to absorb the energy of an impact. N

37、OTE Recommendations for materials and construction of bump caps are given in Annex A.
