EN 13277-4:2001 + A1:2007 (E) 4 Introduction Head protectors are an individual item
25、 of protective equipment to protect the front, the sides and the rear of the head in martial arts. They are designed to provide a degree of safety in case of accidental contact during martial arts. Martial arts can be dangerous and severe blows to the head may cause serious injury even if the protec
26、tor is fitted and used properly. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies additional requirements and test methods for head protectors without face protection used in unarmed martial arts, such as Taekwondo, Karate, Kick-Boxing and similar disciplines. It also applies to head protectors used in boxi
27、ng. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or r
28、evisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments). EN 960, Headforms for use in the testing of protective helmets. EN 13

30、e same as those given in EN 13277-1. Head protectors shall be easy to put on and take off. 4.2 Openings Head protectors shall be so designed that the ears have a connection to the environment to enable the wearer to hear as well as to prevent air pressure damage caused by blows on the ear. The head
31、protector may be pierced by openings that allow ventilation. 4.3 Mass The maximum mass permitted shall vary with the head circumference. The relevant mass is specified in Table 1. EN 13277-4:2001 + A1:2007 (E) 5 Table 1 Head circumference and mass of the head protector Head circumference mm 560 to 5
32、80 580 Mass g max. 360 max. 380 max. 400 max. 420 4.4 Sizing The manufacturer shall indicate in centimetres the range of head circumference of the user for which the head protector is designed. 4.5 Field of vision When tested in accordance with 5.4 there shall be no occultation in the field of visio
33、n bounded by angles as follows (see Figure 1): horizontally: min 105 from the longitudinal vertical median plane to the left and right hand sides upwards: min 25 from the reference plane downwards: min 45 from the basic plane Dimensions in millimetres Key 1 Reference plane 2 Basic plane 3 Central ve

35、manufacturer which enables the user to attach the head protector firmly without any assistance. When attached firmly, the system shall meet the requirements defined in 4.3 of EN 13277-1:2000, excluding the third paragraph of 4.3 of EN 13277-1:2000, when tested according to 5.5 of EN 13277-4:2001. Af
36、ter each individual test, the displacement of the head protector from its original position shall be less than 5 % of the head circumference. Restraint systems shall be fitted with adjusters. 4.7 Zone of protection The zone of protection shall cover the head protector including the largest diameter.
37、 It shall come into contact with the lower edge of the head protector in the forehead region. The location and dimensions of the zone of protection shall be as given in Figure 2 and Table 2. The information supplied by the manufacturer shall determine how the head protector is correctly positioned o
38、n the head and where the zone of protection is located with reference to the outer dimensions of the head protector.

40、 4.8 Impact performance Head protectors conform to this European Standard if the maximum peak force is below 2 kN when tested in accordance with 5.7. 5 Test methods 5.1 General If no special test methods are specified, the requirements of this standard are to be tested by measurement, visual inspect
41、ion, tactile examination etc. For the tests new, unused protectors shall be used. 5.2 Sampling Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with 5.1 of EN 13277-1:2000. 5.3 Conditioning Conditioning is carried out in accordance with 5.2 of EN 13277-1:2000. 5.4 Determination of field of vision Place t
42、he head protector on a headform of appropriate size. The headform shall comply with EN 960. Ascertain that the vertical median plane of the head protector coincides with the vertical median plane of the headform. Adjust the head protector on the headform according to the manufacturers instructions.
43、In that position, determine, using angle templates or other means of assessing angles of vision, whether the head protector complies with the requirements for field of vision in 4.5. 5.5 Restraint The head protector shall be attached to the head of a test person of appropriate head circumference acc
44、ording to the manufacturers size declaration. The test positions and test directions are shown in Figure 3. The test directions shall be as shown by arrows 1 to 8. They shall be tangential to the head protector. One test position shall be within the front side on the vertical symmetrical plane and o
45、n the upper edge of the zone of protection. The other test position shall be as close as possible near the ear within the zone of protection. The test force to be applied shall be 20 N in each position. EN 13277-4:2001 + A1:2007 (E) 9 Key 1 to 8 Order of the test directions Figure 2 Test positions a
46、nd test directions at head protectors 5.6 Zone of protection The head protector shall be placed on the head of a test person with an appropriate head circumference or on a headform of suitable size. In accordance with the manufacturers instructions, points A, B, C and D (see Figure 2) shall be marke
47、d on the head protector. For this marking, the head protector is prepared in such a way that the zone of protection is stretched out with a flat surface. It can be cut in order to achieve this. The zone of protection shall not, however, be cut into several parts. First, the lines AC and BD shall be
48、marked as limiting lines for the zone of protection on the outer surface of the flat head protector. Attention shall be paid that these lines only touch the edge of the head protector in the forehead region and do not cut it. If necessary, the points A, B, C and D can be transferred, in compliance w
49、ith the dimensions according to Table 2 and the declaration of the manufacturer, to the symmetrical plane of the head protector. 5.7 Impact performance 5.7.1 Apparatus The principle of impact testing is shown in Figure 4. A flat horizontal steel plate with a width of at least 300 mm, a length of at least 350 mm and a thickness of at least 20 mm shall be used as a support of the sample. In the centre of the flat plate there shall be a cylindrical hole with a diameter of (106 2) mm. A cylindrical anvil with a diameter of (100
