23、87-2:2012 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is intended as a supplement to the specific product standards for protective helmets (helmet standards). This method or other test methods may be applicable to complete helmets or parts thereof, and may be referenced in the appropriate helmet stand
24、ards. Performance requirements are given in the appropriate helmet standard, as are such prerequisites as the number of samples, preconditioning, preparation of samples for the tests, sequence and duration of testing and assessment of test results. If deviations from the test method given in this st
25、andard are necessary, these deviations will be specified in the appropriate helmet standard. DIN EN 13087-2:2012-04 EN 13087-2:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope The European Standard specifies methods of test for protective helmets. The purpose of these tests is to enable assessment of the performance of the helme
26、t as specified in the appropriate helmet standard. This European Standard specifies the method for determination of shock absorption. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies

29、cified in the appropriate helmet standard: a) performance requirements; b) number of samples; c) preparation of samples; d) sequence of conditioning; e) sequence of tests; f) method of test - 5.2 or 5.3; g) sizes of headforms; h) type of striker or anvil; i) fitting instructions; j) number and locat
30、ion of impact points on helmets; k) for each impact, the impact energy, including tolerance, of the falling mass for the falling mass method, or the impact speed, including tolerance, of the helmet/headform assembly for the falling headform method. DIN EN 13087-2:2012-04 EN 13087-2:2012 (E) 6 5 Test
31、 methods 5.1 General Testing shall be performed in the ambient conditions specified in EN 13087-1. When the test method specifies that the helmet shall be fitted to a headform, this shall be done in accordance with the appropriate helmet standard. Two test methods are specified. The appropriate helm
32、et standard will state which of these methods is applicable. Annex A refers to the uncertainty of measurement. 5.2 Falling mass method 5.2.1 Principle A specified striker is allowed to fall with specified energy on to a helmet which is fitted to a rigidly mounted headform. The transmitted force is m
33、easured by means of a force transducer located beneath the headform. 5.2.2 Apparatus 5.2.2.1 Base The base shall be solid, made of steel or a combination of steel and concrete and have a mass of not less than 500 kg. At least the uppermost 25 mm shall consist of steel, which shall be firmly attached
34、 to the concrete if present. No part of the base and headform mounting assembly shall have a resonant frequency liable to affect the measurements. NOTE See 5.2.2.6.2 regarding frequency response. 5.2.2.2 Test headforms The headforms shall comply with EN 960:2006, 2.2, 3.1.2 and 3.2. The sizes to be
35、used are specified in the helmet standard, but shall be selected from size designations 495, 535, 575, 605 and 625 (equivalent to codes A, E, J, M and O, respectively, EN 960:1994). When in the upright position, the headform shall be positioned so that its central vertical axis coincides with those
36、of the force transducer and striker. 5.2.2.3 Striker Two types of striker are specified - a flat one and a hemispherical one. The type of striker to be used is specified in the appropriate helmet standard. The striker shall be made of steel and have a mass of (5 0,05) kg. The flat striker shall have
37、 a flat striking face of diameter (100 2) mm, with the edge of its circumference radiused to nominally 2 mm. The hemispherical striker shall have a hemispherical striking face of radius (50 1) mm. 5.2.2.4 Guidance system Means shall be provided for the striker to be dropped in free or guided fall. T
38、he guidance system shall be such as to ensure that the striker: shall be positioned above the headform so that its central axis coincides with the central vertical axis of the force transducer; and falls on to the required impact point with an impact speed of not less than 95% of that which would th
39、eoretically obtain for a free fall. DIN EN 13087-2:2012-04 EN 13087-2:2012 (E) 7 5.2.2.5 Means to measure impact speed Unless free fall is employed, means shall be provided to measure the striker speed at a distance of no more than 60 mm prior to impact, to within an accuracy of 1 %. The impact spee
40、d shall be measured during the commissioning of the apparatus. It need not be done for each impact, but has to be sufficiently regular to comply with 5.2.2.4. 5.2.2.6 Instrumentation to record and analyse the data 5.2.2.6.1 Force transducer The non-inertial force transducer shall be firmly attached
41、to the base and arranged so that its sensitive axis coincides with the vertical axis passing through the centre of gravity of the headform and the centre of the striker. The transducer shall be capable of withstanding a compressive force of 40 kN without damage. 5.2.2.6.2 Signal conditioning instrum
42、entation The instrumentation shall provide for the complete measuring channel to have a frequency response in accordance with channel frequency class (CFC) 600 of ISO 6487. If digital sampling is employed, a sample rate of at least 6 kHz shall be used. The required low pass filter may be included wi
43、thin the computer software. Means shall be provided to record the maximum force transmitted during impact, to the nearest 10 N. 5.2.3 Procedure Within 1 min of its removal from conditioning (this time applies to temperature conditioning only), fit the helmet to the appropriate headform in the manner
44、 in which it is intended to be worn on the head and allow the striker to fall on to the specified impact point. The impact energy shall be as specified in the appropriate helmet standard. If the design of the helmet permits direct contact between the striker and the headform, the test shall not be p
45、erformed and the result shall be declared a failure. 5.2.4 Test report Record and report the maximum force transmitted during the impact to the nearest 10 N. 5.3 Falling headform method 5.3.1 Principle The helmet to be tested is fitted to a headform and the assembly is allowed to fall with specified
46、 speed on to a rigidly mounted anvil. The deceleration of the headform is measured by means of a tri-axial accelerometer located within the headform. 5.3.2 Apparatus 5.3.2.1 Base The base shall be solid, made of steel or a combination of steel and concrete and have a mass of not less than 500 kg. At
47、 least the uppermost 25 mm shall consist of steel, which shall be firmly attached to the concrete if present. No part of the base and anvil assembly shall have a resonant frequency liable to affect the measurements. NOTE See 5.3.2.6.2 regarding frequency response. DIN EN 13087-2:2012-04 EN 13087-2:2
48、012 (E) 8 5.3.2.2 Anvil Two types of anvil are specified - a flat one and a kerbstone one. Both shall be made of steel. The anvil to be used is specified in the appropriate helmet standard. The flat anvil shall have a flat impact face of diameter (130 3) mm, with the edge of its circumference radius
49、ed to nominally 2 mm. The kerbstone anvil shall have two faces, each inclined at (52,5 2,5) to the vertical and meeting along a striking edge with a radius of (15 0,5) mm. The height shall be not less than 50 mm and the length not less than 125 mm. 5.3.2.3 Guidance system Means shall be provided for the headform/helmet assembly to be dropped in free or guided fall. The guidance syst
