BS EN 1384:2017EN 1384:2017 (E) 5 Introduction This standard specifies the requirements for protective headwear for use in equestrian activit
29、ies. The 2012 version of EN 1384 has been revised based on a mandate from CEN. The intention of a helmet is to reduce the risk of injury to the skull and part of the head surrounded by the helmet. Wearers need to be made aware that the protection given by a helmet depends on the circumstances of the
30、 accident and wearing of 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 helmet t
31、hat sustains a severe blow should be replaced even if damage is not apparent. Performance levels and test methods are based upon proven methods of test and technical criteria and enhanced by data from expert sources in the field of head protection. Specific issues that have been addressed to give im
32、proved protection to the user are: a) shock absorption including a higher drop height; b) field of vision; c) lateral deformation; d) materials; e) area of protection; f) additional construction requirements. BS EN 1384:2017EN 1384:2017 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirement for
33、protective helmets that can have a peak, for people involved in equestrian activities. It gives safety requirements that include methods of test and levels. Requirements and the corresponding methods of test are given for the following: construction, including field of vision; shock absorbing proper
34、ties; resistance to penetration; lateral deformation ; retention system properties deflection of peak (if fitted); marking and information; use of headforms in accordance with EN 960:2006. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this documen

40、dding material provided to ensure comfortable and correct fit 3.4 cradle headband or other head fitting and those internal parts of the helmet other than the padding, which are in contact with the head 3.5 retention system complete assembly by means of which the helmet is maintained in position on t
41、he head, including any devices for adjustment of the system or to enhance the wearers comfort 3.6 draw-lace lace used by a wearer for making adjustments to the fit of the cradle on the head 3.7 chin strap part of the retention system consisting of a strap that passes under the wearers jaw to keep th

46、 temperature increasing. Consequently the helmet should be designed to be comfortable, light and commensurate with the risks to which the user may be exposed in order to be effective without introducing heat stress to the wearer. The following requirements shall be visually assessed in accordance wi
47、th 5.1. The helmet may be constructed either with or without a shell, and with or without means of ventilation. Vents may increase comfort but they allow for the possibility of solid objects entering through a vent and contacting the head. Within the area of protection ventilation and other aperture
48、s are permitted but these are restricted to the area above the test line. If a shell is used, then protective padding shall be securely fastened to it. If there are draw-laces / adjusting system for the wearing height, all of the requirements of this standard shall be satisfied 4.2 Materials For tho
49、se parts of the helmet coming, or that may come, into contact with the skin the material used shall not be subject to any known appreciable alteration from contact with sweat or with substances likely to be used on the wearer. Materials shall not be used which are known to cause skin disorders or other adverse effects on health. The requirements shall be assessed in accordance with 5.1.3. 4.3 Finish and projections There shall be no sharp edges, roughness or projection on any parts of the helmet which are in contact, or potential contact, with t
