31、rial of the chin strap is attached to the bump cap NOTE This includes, for example: the component(s) fitted to the ends of the chin strap material for this purpose; 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

32、special purposes NOTE Examples of accessories are chin strap, neck protector, nape strap, external coverings. 3.8 wearing height vertical distance from the lower 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

33、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 headform) whichever gives the greater distance BS EN 812:2012EN 812:2012 (E) 7 4 Physical requirements 4.1 Materials and construction The b

34、ump 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.
