1、Designation: F 2032 06An American National StandardStandard Specification forHelmets Used for BMX Cycling1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 2032; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last
2、revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers performance requirements forhelmets used in BMX cycling. Studies have shown higher riskto the he
3、ad and face for this sport as compared to recreationalstreet riding; therefore, this specification requires impact pro-tection over a larger area of the head than Specification F 1447and the CPSC standard. This specification also providesperformance criteria for helmets equipped with chin bars.1.2 A
4、ll testing and requirements of this specification shallbe in accordance with Test Methods F 1446 except where notedherein.1.3 Partial utilization of this specification is prohibited. Anystatement of compliance with this specification shall be acertification that the headgear with faceguard meets all
5、 of therequirements of the specification in their entirety. A headgearwith faceguard that fails to meet any one of the requirements ofthis specification is considered to have failed the specification,and shall not be sold with any indication that it meets parts ofthe specification.1.4 Headgear desig
6、ned to comply with this and otherstandards may proclaim uses as certified by the manufacturer.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user
7、of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Labels and Warnings3.1 Shall meet the requirements of Test Methods F 1446.3.2 Shall have the words “For BMX bicycle riding andracing.”4. Marking the Test Line4.1 The test line is shown in Fig. 1 and shall be mar
9、ked inaccordance with Test Methods F 1446.5. Conditioning and Number of Samples5.1 Shall be in accordance with Test Methods F 1446.5.2 The test requires a minimum of four samples of eachshell/liner combination, with a fifth sample required for fullface helmets with a chin bar.6. Retention System Tes
10、ting6.1 Retention system tests shall be performed before impacttesting.6.2 The ambient helmet shall be subjected to the Roll-OffTest of Test Methods F 1446 usinga4kgdrop mass from aheight of 0.6 m.6.3 The retention system shall remain intact and the helmetshall remain on the headform.6.4 The hot, co
11、ld, and wet helmets shall be subjected to theDynamic Strength Retention Test of Test Methods F 1446usinga4kgdrop mass from a height of 0.6 m.6.5 The retention system shall remain intact without elon-gating more than 30 mm.7. Impact Sites and Projections7.1 Impact sites are described in Test Methods
12、F 1446.7.2 ProjectionsAny unfaired projection extending morethan 7 mm from the helmets outer surface shall break away orcollapse when impacted with forces equivalent to those pro-duced by applicable impact-attenuation tests in Section 5.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee

Impacting Schedule8.1 All impacting shall be performed in accordance withTest Methods F 1446.8.2 Helmets shall be impacted with the
16、 anvils centered on orabove the test line described in Fig. 1.8.3 The test anvils can be oriented in any horizontal,centered position.8.4 For full face helmets with a chin bar, a fifth ambienthelmet shall be tested in accordance with Section 10 below.9. Impact Testing9.1 Retention system testing sha
17、ll be completed prior toimpact testing.9.2 The helmet can be impacted such that the theoreticalcenter of impact described in Test Methods F 1446 is anywhereon or above the test line with the curbstone anvil in anyhorizontal orientation.9.3 Anvils to be used are the flat, hemispherical, andcurbstone
18、anvils from Test Methods F 1446.9.4 The helmet shall be dropped onto the flat anvil toachieve an impact velocity of 6.2 m/s 6 3 % (corresponding toa theoretical drop height of 2.0 m).9.5 Hemispherical and curbstone anvil impacts shallachieve an impact velocity of 4.8 m/s 6 3 % (corresponding toa the
19、oretical drop height of 1.2 m).9.6 Each helmet shall be given two flat anvil impacts andone each hemispherical and curbstone anvil impact in anysequence.9.7 The theoretical center of each impact site shall beseparated from the theoretical center of other impact sites by aminimum of 120 mm.9.8 The pe
20、ak acceleration of each impact shall not exceed300 g.10.
