CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.This document supersedes EN 14458:2004.This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Regula
22、tion.For relationship with EU Regulation, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document.The main changes regarding EN 14458:2004 are: change of title; correction of discrepancies between this European Standard and the designated helmet standards, e.g. EN 443, EN 14052; EN 1647
23、3; modifications regarding terms and definitions; clarification and extension of the scope; not only useable for firefighter helmets; clarifications regarding the three different types of visors covered by this standard and the corresponding tests and requirements; clarification regarding the two fo

25、hich summarizes the conditioning, number of test samples and the sequence of tests to be done.According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus,
26、 Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the U
27、nited Kingdom.ivBS EN 14458:2018EN 14458:2018 (E)1 ScopeThis European Standard specifies the minimum requirements for visors designed specifically to be used only with protective helmets e.g. firefighter helmets conforming to EN 443, EN 16471 and EN 16473 and high performance industrial helmets conf
28、orming to EN 14052. These visors may be permanently fitted to, or be removable from the helmet.Three types of visors in two forms are described in this document.The two forms are: face guards provide both eye and face protection, and eye guards that are shorter and effectively provide only eye prote
29、ction.The three types are: visors for general use: eye guards and face guards providing resistance and/or protection against mechanical, liquid chemical and basic physical hazards; visors with increased thermal performance: face guards that additionally provide resistance and/or protection against h
30、igher than basic levels of heat and flame; mesh visors: eye guards and face guards that incorporate mesh lenses with defined levels of performance from EN 1731, and other additional mechanical requirements described in this European Standard.These visors are not intended to protect against smoke and
31、 gas /vapour hazards.Visors for sporting use, those with corrective effect, and goggles used with a protective helmet are not covered by this European Standard.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for it
