WEAR HEAD PROTECTION

Product catalog summary

Overview
This document provides detailed specifications and testing standards for various types of head protection equipment, including industrial safety helmets and bump caps. It outlines the European standards (EN) applicable to these protective gear and describes the testing procedures for impact, penetration, and electrical insulation.

Specifications and Standards

EN 397: Standard for industrial safety helmets, focusing on impact and penetration resistance.
EN 14052: High-performance industrial safety helmets standard, with more rigorous impact and penetration tests.
EN 50365: Standard for helmets providing electrical insulation, tested for use in environments with potential high voltage exposure.
EN 812: Standard for industrial bump caps, designed for protection against minor bumps and scrapes.

Testing Procedures

Impact Test (EN 397): Helmet is struck once on the crown with a 5 kg weight from 1 meter.
Penetration Test (EN 397): Helmet is struck with a 3 kg pointed striker from 1 meter within a 50 mm radius of the crown.
Impact Test (EN 14052): Helmet is struck twice, including side impact performance testing.
Penetration Test (EN 14052): Involves a 1 kg flat bladed striker from 2.5 meters, with additional side impact testing.
Electrical Test (EN 50365): Helmets are tested for electrical insulation with a potential of up to 10,000 V, ensuring current does not exceed 3.5 mA.

Product Details
The document lists various helmet models with specifications such as weight, shell material, recommended life span, and compliance with EN standards. It also includes details on accessories like chin straps and sweatbands.

Key Considerations

Helmets must meet specific EN standards to ensure adequate protection in industrial environments.
Bump caps are not a substitute for helmets in environments with risks of falling objects.
Electrical insulation helmets must pass rigorous testing to be deemed safe for use in high voltage areas.

is a type of helmet predominantly used in workplace environments such as industrial or construction sites to protect the head from injury due to falling objects, impact with other objects, debris, rain, and electric shock. Hard hats could be combinated with face protection and hearing protection. EN 397 IMPACT TEST Helmet is hit once, directly onto the crown with a 5 kg weight from 1 meter. PENETRATION TEST Helmet is hit once, by a 3 kg pointed striker from a height of 1 meter in a 50 mm radius of the crown. EN 14052 IMPACT TEST Helmet is hit twice, once, in an area within a 35 mm radius of the...

BUMP CAP is a lightweight hard hat using a simplified suspension or padding. Bump caps are used in situation, where it is a possibility of scraping or bumping one’s head on equipment or structure projections, but they are not sufficient enough to absorb large impacts of tools, dropped from several stories. EN standards EN 812 The standard for industrial bump caps EN 812:A1 relates to bump cap of current use. They are used in the industry to protect the head when it hits hard and static objects that can stun or cause lacerations and superficial injury to the wearer. They are primarily intended...
