DIN EN 1385:2012-04 EN 1385:2012 (E) 4 Introduction The most common head injury in canoeing and white water sports happens when a person strikes an underwater object after capsizing. Unde

25、r these circumstances it is extremely unlikely that the speed of impact will be greater than 18 km/h (5 m/s) because this is the highest recorded rate of flow in a white water river. The most common site of injury is the frontal or forehead area or the side of the eye socket. To achieve the performa

26、nce of which the helmet is capable, and to ensure stability on the head, it needs to be as close fitting as possible consistent with comfort. The helmet needs to be securely fastened on to the head, and any chin strap has to be under tension at all times. The protection given by a helmet depends on

27、the circumstances of the accident and wearing a helmet does not always prevent death or long term disability. A proportion of the energy of an impact is absorbed by the helmet, thereby reducing the force of the blow sustained by the head. The structure of the helmet may be damaged in absorbing this

28、energy and any helmet that sustains a severe blow needs to be replaced even if damage is not apparent. This European Standard includes the International Canoe Federation classification of risks. DIN EN 1385:2012-04 EN 1385:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements for helmets

29、for canoeing and white water sports for use in waters of classes 1 to 4 as classified by Clause 4. The levels of protection recognise that most fatalities in canoeing and white water sports result from drowning after concussion and not from brain damage. This European Standard is not intended to app

30、ly to helmets for use in extreme white water situations such as those where the jumping of high waterfalls is undertaken, because the need for impact absorption for such a helmet, and the area of the head to be protected, are greater than those for most canoeing and white water sports. The standard

31、applies to helmets with and without holes in the shell. NOTE This European Standard does not provide performance requirements for visors, chin-guards or face-guards. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable

32、 for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

35、 either absorb impact energy or improve the wearers comfort 3.6 retention system entire assembly of components that prevent the helmet coming off the head 3.7 chin strap strap passing under the wearers lower jaw that is intended to prevent the helmet coming off the head DIN EN 1385:2012-04 EN 1385:2

39、 1 This classification is produced by the International Canoe Federation. Class 1 Not difficult. Regular current, small waves and riffles, occasional small rapids; pebble banks, no or few obstructions. Class 2 Moderately difficult. Clear and wide passages; irregular current, rapids bigger waves, eas

40、y eddies, stopper and whirlpools; simple obstructions in the passage, small ledges. Class 3 Difficult. Course not always easily to recognize. High and irregular waves, long rapids, stopper, boils and whirlpools; occasional boulders, drops and various obstructions in the passage. Class 4 Very difficu

41、lt. Course difficult to recognize, inspection from shore is advised; big hydraulics, keepers and boils; staggered boulders in main stream, ledges with keepers. Class 5 Exceedingly difficult. Inspection from shore is mandatory; extreme hydraulics, keepers and boils; narrow in the only line of passage

42、, high drops in cascades with difficult entrances and/or exits. Class 6 The absolute limit of difficulty. Usually considered unrunnable. All previous mentioned difficulties increased to the limit of practicability. Attempts at certain water levels imply a high risk to life. NOTE 2 Helmets for use in

43、 water classes 5 and 6 are outside the scope of this European Standard. It is expected that these helmets will have performance requirements in excess of this European Standard. DIN EN 1385:2012-04 EN 1385:2012 (E) 7 5 Construction 5.1 Materials The mechanical properties of the materials used in the

44、 manufacture of the helmet should not deteriorate significantly during the period of normal use, due to influences such as exposure to sun, to temperature changes or to fresh or salt water. Metal parts used to fasten the chin strap and/or a suspension cradle to the shell, should be protected from or

45、 resistant to corrosion. The materials forming the parts of the helmet coming into contact with the skin, should not deteriorate in strength significantly due to contact with sweat and materials which are known to cause skin disorders shall not be used. The thread used for stitching on webbing shoul

46、d be resistant to rotting. 5.2 Extent of shell When the helmet is placed on a headform of size designation given in Table 1, and the chin strap is secured, the shell, including any holes, shall cover all parts of the headform above the lines ACDF shown in Figure 1 a) and Figure 1 b), except that the

47、re may be cut-outs on each side of the helmet to expose the ears for hearing purposes. The dimension “Y” (see Figure 1) for the headforms in Table 1 shall be taken as given in EN 960:2006, Table 1. The point C for each headform (Figure 1 a) and Figure 1 b) is the midpoint of AZ and the point D is ve

48、rtically beneath it on the reference plane. NOTE Table 1 gives the EN 960:1994 equivalent letter codes to the EN 960:2006 size designations for headforms with similar nominal dimensions. These are as given in EN 960:2006, Annex C. The EN 960:2006 size designation approximates to the circumference of

49、 the headform at the reference plane, in mm.
