Page 4 EN 13087-8:2000 Introduction This standard is intended as a supplement to the specific product standards for protective helmets
24、 (helmet standards). Test methods may be applicable to complete helmets or parts thereof, and may be referenced in the other helmet standards. Performance requirements are given in the appropriate helmet standard, as are such details as the number of samples, preconditioning, preparation of samples
25、for the tests, sequence and duration of testing and assessment of test results. If deviations from the test method given in this standard are necessary, these deviations will be specified in the appropriate helmet standard. 1 Scope This European Standard describes methods of test for protective helm
26、ets. The purpose of these tests is to enable assessment of the performance of the helmet as specified in the appropriate helmet standard. This standard specifies the methods of test for electrical properties ! The methods of tests specified in this standard are not appropriate for establishing elect
27、rical requirements for the live working or working in the vicinity of electrical installations. “ 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
28、and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions 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

EN 13087-1 Protective helmets - Test methods - Part 1 : Conditions and conditioning 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions given in this European Standard may be found in the appropriate helmet standard. 4 Prerequisites
30、In order to implement this standard, at least the following parameters shall be specified 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(s) of test - 5.3 and/or 5.4 and/or 5.5 P
31、age 5 EN 13087-8:2000 5 Methods 5.1 General Testing shall be performed in 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 manufacturers fitting instructions, if supplied. If none are s
32、upplied, the helmet shall be fitted so as to simulate typical fitting in use. Three test methods are specified. The method given in 5.2 is intended to simulate closely the in-use situation - that is, the leakage current to the wearer via a live conductor touching the shell. The method given in 5.3 i
33、s dependent only upon the transverse resistance of the shell (thickness). This effectively precludes the use of a metal shell and of holes or metal fasteners passing through the shell. The method given in 5.4 is dependent only upon the surface resistance of the shell and effectively precludes the us
34、e of shells which have a conductive surface (eg metal electro-plating). This test is deemed to be necessary in order to obviate the danger to the wearer should he/she try to remove a helmet whose shell is in contact with a live conductor. The method(s) to be used is/are specified in the helmet stand
35、ard. 5.2 Conductive headform test 5.2.1 Principle The leakage current between the outside and inside of the complete helmet and retention system, (as supplied by the helmet manufacturer) is measured at a specified voltage, when the helmet is mounted on a metal headform. 5.2.2 Procedure Immerse the c
36、omplete sample helmet and retention system in fresh tap water at room temperature for a period of (15 2) min. Remove the helmet from the water and allow to drain for between 1 and 2 min max. Mount the sample helmet on an appropriate sized aluminium headform, in the manner it is intended to be worn,
37、and secure firmly with the retention system. Apply an alternating test voltage at nominally 50 Hz or 60 Hz between the aluminium headform and a suitably insulated hand-held metal probe of 4 mm diameter and with a hemispherical radiused end. Apply the probe at any point on the external surface of the
38、 helmet shell situated at, or above, its lower edge. At each test point, increase the voltage at a steady rate to (1200 25) Vac within 1 min and maintain it at this value for (15 2) s. Record the leakage current at this voltage to the nearest 0,1 mA, together with any evidence of breakdown. Repeat t
39、he test in order to investigate at least three test points. Page 6 EN 13087-8:2000 5.2.3 Test report Report the leakage currents measured, together with any occurrences of breakdown. 5.3 Wet helmet insulation test 5.3.1 Principle The leakage current between the outside and inside of the helmet shell
40、 is measured at a specified voltage. 5.3.2 Procedure Place the helmet shell in a (3 0,2) g/l solution of sodium chloride at a temperature of (22 5) C for (24 0,5) h. Remove the helmet shell, wipe it and place it upside down in a container of appropriate size. Fill the container and the helmet shell
41、with the sodium chloride solution, up to 10 mm below the lowest point on the lower (as worn) edge of the shell. Where necessary, adjust the orientation of the helmet shell in the sodium chloride solution in order to accommodate shells whose lower edge is not straight. Apply an alternating test volta
42、ge at nominally 50 Hz or 60 Hz between an electrode immersed in the solution inside the helmet shell and another electrode in the container, outside of the helmet shell. Increase the voltage at a steady rate to (1200 25) Vac within 1 min and maintain it at this value for (15 2) s. Record the leakage
43、 current at this voltage to the nearest 0,1 mA, together with any evidence of breakdown. 5.3.3 Test report Report the leakage currents measured, together with any occurrences of breakdown. 5.4 Surface insulation test 5.4.1 Principle The leakage current between any two points on the surface of the he
44、lmet shell is measured at a specified voltage. 5.4.2 Procedure Ensure that the shell of the helmet is dry before the test. Apply an alternating test voltage at nominally 50 Hz or 60 Hz between two suitably insulated hand-held metal probes of 4 mm diameter and with hemispherical radiused ends. Apply
45、the probes to any two points on the surface of the helmet shell (inside and/or outside) located not closer than 20 mm to each other. At each test point, increase the voltage at a steady rate to (1200 25) Vac within 1 min and maintain it at this value for (15 2) s. Record the leakage current at this
46、voltage to the nearest 0,1 mA, together with any evidence of breakdown. Repeat the test in order to investigate at least three test points. Page 7 EN 13087-8:2000 5.4.3 Test report Report the leakage currents measured, together with any occurrences of breakdown. Annex A (normative) Test results Unce
47、rtainty of measurement For each of the required measurements performed in accordance with this standard, a corresponding estimate of the uncertainty of measurement shall be evaluated. This estimate of uncertainty shall be applied and stated when reporting test results, in order to enable the user of
48、 the test report to assess the reliability of the data.
