14、SH STANDARDBS 7928:2013ii The British Standards Institution 2014IntroductionWith fast bowlers capable of bowling cricket balls at speeds of over 90 mph(140 km/h), head protectors for cricketers are an essential part of a cricketplayers kit.The intention of head and face protection is to reduce the f

15、requency andseverity of localized injuries to the head and that part of the face surrounded bythe head protector. The protective function is such that the force from impactsagainst the head protector is distributed and dampened and the penetration ofobjects is counteracted.The protection given by a

16、head protector depends on the circumstances of theaccident and wearing a helmet and faceguard cannot always prevent death orlong-term disability. A proportion of the impact energy is absorbed by the headprotector, thereby reducing the force of the blow sustained by the head or face.The structure of

17、the head protector might be damaged when absorbing thisenergy and any helmet that sustains a severe blow needs to be replaced even ifdamage is not apparent.The helmet shell impact attenuation drop test records the impact of a movinghelmeted headform on a hemispherical (simulated cricket ball shaped)

18、 anvil. Thefacial contact projectile test records whether a practice cricket ball fired from aball launching mechanism results in either faceguard or ball contact with aspecified “no contact zone” of the face. The 15 J impact for the impactattenuation test, and the ball speeds of 23 m/s (for junior

19、helmets tested againstajunior sizedball) and 28 m/s (for adult helmets tested againstamens sizedball) for the facial contact test are used as they are theoreticallyequivalent to realistic cricket ball speeds faced by cricketers.BRITISH STANDARD BS 7928:2013 The British Standards Institution 2014 11

20、ScopeThis British Standard specifies the requirements for the materials, construction,markings and information to be supplied for head protectors to be worn bycricketers in adult and junior cricket.NOTE 1 It is important to stress that this Standard does not cover specific testingagainst a womens si

21、ze ballText deleted.NOTE 2 This British Standard does not consider head protectors for use in kwikcricket, incrediball, street cricket, etc. or any other variant of the game.NOTE 3 Head protectors for cricketers can also be worn by close fielders andwicket-keepers. However, the testing protocol is d

22、esigned for protection againstbatting related ball impacts, rather than those encountered in these fieldingpositions.This British Standard specifies the methods to assess the impact attenuationproperties during a drop test of the helmet and the protection provided againsta ball or faceguard contacti

23、ng a specified no contact zone of the face during aprojectile test.2 Normative referencesThe following normative documents contain provisions, which, throughreference in this text, constitute provisions of this British Standard. For datedreferences, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of

24、these publicationsdo not apply. For undated references, the latest edition of the publicationreferred to applies.BS EN 960:2006, Headforms for use in the testing of protective helmetsBS EN 13087-2:2012, Protective helmets Test methods Part 2: Shockabsorption3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of

28、e headform and the edge of theshell above the eyes.NOTE 2 This index should be furnished to any person who requests theinformation, with respect to a helmet identified by manufacturer, model designationand size.3.7 retention systemcomplete assembly by means of which the helmet is maintained in posit

30、 different sizes of helmet may be manufactured from one size ofouter shell.4 MaterialsIf the shell is made of any material that is known to be adversely affected bycontact with hydrocarbons, cleaning fluids, paints, transfers or other extraneousadditions, then the helmet shall carry an appropriate w

31、arning as specified in 9.4.For those parts of the head protector coming into contact with skin, thematerial used shall be known not to undergo appreciable alteration fromcontact with sweat or from substances likely to be found in toiletries. Materialsthat are known to cause skin disorders shall not

33、to the wearer.NOTE 1 Any irregularity in the internal or external surface should blend into thesurrounding surface in a curve, the radius of which is more than half the thickness ofthe shell at that point. This recommendation need not be applied to holes forfasteners, or to the edges of the shell or

34、 to a rigid projection or peak in accordancewith the above.NOTE 2 The helmet may be pierced by ventilation holes.5.2 Faceguards5.2.1 GeneralThe faceguard shall be designed so that it:a) has no sharp edges;b) can be firmly fixed to the helmet for which it is designed and without theneed for the consu
