29、8:2014-04 EN 1078:2012+A1:2012 (E) 4 Introduction The protection given by a helmet depends on the circumstances 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 t
30、he blow sustained by the head. The structure of the helmet may be damaged in absorbing this energy and any helmet that sustains a severe blow needs to be replaced even if damage is not apparent. The technical committee which has prepared this European Standard realizes that it is of importance for t
31、he wearers comfort and psychrometric performance that a helmet is ventilated. At the time the standard was prepared no method for measuring the ventilating capacity of a helmet was recognized. For that reason no requirements concerning ventilation or heat transmission have been introduced. Manufactu
32、rers of helmets are urged to design their helmets to encourage a flow of air over the wearers head. Pedal cyclists helmets and helmets for users of skateboards and roller skates are fitted with a retention system to retain the helmet on the head. However, there may be a foreseeable risk that helmets
33、 of young children could become trapped and thereby cause a risk of strangulation of the child. In such cases an impact protection helmet for young children (see EN 1080) should be used. DINEN 1078:2014-04EN 1078:2012+A1:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements and test metho
34、ds for helmets worn by users of pedal cycles, skateboards and roller skates. Requirements and the corresponding methods of test are given for the following: construction, including field of vision; shock absorbing properties; retention system properties, including chin strap and fastening devices; m

42、.1 Materials For those parts of the helmet coming into contact with the skin, the material used should be known not to undergo appreciable alteration from contact with sweat or with substances likely to be found in toiletries. Materials shall not be used which are known to cause skin disorders. 4.2
43、Construction The helmet normally consists of a means of absorbing impact energy and means of retaining the helmet on the head in an accident. The helmet should be durable and withstand handling. The helmet shall be so designed and shaped that parts of it (visor, rivets, ventilators, edges, fastening
44、 device and the like) are not likely to injure the user in normal use.
