6、 Product Safety) and reference to it has been published in the Gemeinsames Ministerialblatt (German Joint Ministerial Gazette) by the Bundesanstalt fr Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin (BAuA) (German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health), it is to be presumed that helmets for airborne
7、 sports which comply with this standard fulfil the relevant health and safety requirements. Where they comply with the provisions laid down in Section 5 of the Product Safety Act, such products may then be marked with the GS mark (German “safety tested” mark) as awarded to the manufacturer by an aut

DIN EN 966:2013-11 EN 966:2012+A1:2012 (E) 5 Introduction The protection given by a helmet depends on the circumstance
28、s of the accident and wearing a helmet cannot always prevent death or long term disability. A proportion of the energy of an impact is absorbed by the helmet, thereby reducing the force of the blow sustained by the head. The structure of the helmet may be damaged in absorbing this energy and any hel
29、met that sustains a severe blow needs to 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 fitting as possible consistent with comfort. In use, it is essential that the helmet is securely
30、fastened, with any chin strap under tension at all times. DIN EN 966:2013-11 EN 966:2012+A1:2012 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for protective helmets used in paragliding, hang gliding and flying with ultra-light aeroplanes. Helmets for airborne sports a
31、re indicated in this European Standard as follows: category HPG: Helmets for paragliding and hang gliding; category UL: Helmets for flying with ultra-light aeroplanes. Requirements and the corresponding methods of test, where appropriate, are given for the following: construction including chin stra
32、p, fastening devices, field of vision, head mobility and eye protection; penetration resistance; shock-absorbing properties; retention system properties; marking and information for users. NOTE The requirements cover both categories. Special requirements are contained in the relevant clauses. This E
33、uropean Standard does not apply to other kinds of head protection used in airborne sports. 2 Normative references !The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies
34、. 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, Road vehicles Measurement techniques in impact tests Instrumentation 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of

However, a helmet type may include a range of helmet sizes, provided that the t
37、hickness of the protective padding in each size in the range is at least equal to that in the helmet which when subjected to the tests satisfies the requirements of this European Standard. 3.4 padding 3.4.1 protective padding material used to absorb impact energy 3.4.2 comfort padding liner material

Materials shall not be used which are known to cause skin disorders, including injuries from contact with cold surfaces which are related to the thermal conductivity of the material. 5 Const
44、ruction 5.1 General The helmet normally consists of a shell, either containing or providing the necessary means of absorbing impact energy, and either fitted with or providing means for retaining the helmet on the head in an accident. The helmet shall be so designed and constructed as to be capable
45、of withstanding normal handling and use within the limits of the instruction accompanying it. The helmet shall be so designed that none of its parts nor any accessories fitted to or incorporated in it are likely to injure the user during normal use. If the helmet is designed to form an integral asse
46、mbly together with a headset, a visor or other devices to be attached, so that any use without these attachments is not intended, all requirements specified in Clause 5 shall apply for the complete assembly. A clear marking shall be placed on the product indicating that the helmet shall only be used
47、 in combination with the attachment(s). The information for users shall provide detailed instructions regarding the attachment of devices to be used in combination with the helmet. The construction of helmets of category HPG shall be so designed as to minimize the risk that the lines, risers or othe
48、r straps of the paraglider might become entangled by the helmet including any of its parts or accessories. NOTE Helmets should: have low weight; be easy to put on and take off; be usable together with spectacles; not significantly interfere with the ability of the user to receive acoustic ambient information (not relevant for helmets category UL, which
