25、depends on the circumstances of the accident and wearing a helmet cannot 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 absorb

26、ing this energy and any helmet that sustains a severe blow needs to be replaced even if damage is not apparent. To achieve the performance of which it is capable, and to ensure stability on the head, a helmet should be as closely fitting as possible consistent with comfort. In use, it is essential t

27、hat the helmet is securely fastened, with any chin strap under tension at all times.

28、ultra-light aeroplanes. Helmets for airborne sports are indicated in this European Standard as follows: category HPG: Helmets for paragliding and hang gliding; category UL: Helmets for flying with ultra-light aeroplanes. Requirements and the corresponding methods of test, where appropriate, are give

29、n for the following: construction including chin strap, fastening devices, field of vision, head mobility and eye protection; penetration resistance; shock-absorbing properties; retention system properties; marking and information for users. NOTE The requirements cover both categories. Special requi

30、rements are contained in the relevant clauses. This European Standard does not apply to other kinds of head protection used in airborne sports. 2 Normative references !The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application.

31、 For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.“ EN 960:2006, Headforms for use in the testing of protective helmets ISO 6487, Road vehicles Measurement techniques in impact tests Instrum

32、entation 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 protective helmet helmet primarily intended to protect the wearers head against impact; some helmets can provide additional protection 3.2 shell material that provides the general outer

33、 form of the helmet 3.3 helmet type category of helmets which does not differ in such essential respects as: BS EN 966:2012+A1:2012EN 966:2012+A1:2012 (E)EN 966:2012+A1:2012 (E) 7 the trade name or mark; the materials or dimensions of the shell, of the retention system or of the protective padding.

34、However, a helmet type may include a range of helmet sizes, provided that the thickness of the protective padding in each size in the range is at least equal to that in the helmet which when subjected to the tests satisfies the requirements of this European Standard. 3.4 padding 3.4.1 protective pad

35、ding material used to absorb impact energy 3.4.2 comfort padding liner material provided for the wearers comfort 3.4.3 sizing padding liner material used for adjustment of the fit of the helmet to the wearers head 3.5 retention system complete assembly by means of which the helmet is maintained in p

36、osition on the head, including any devices for adjustment of the system or to enhance the wearers comfort 3.6 chin strap part of the retention system consisting of a strap that passes under the wearers jaw to keep the helmet in position 3.7 headform for definition, see EN 960:2006 3.8 basic plane of

37、 the human head plane at the level of the external ear opening (external auditory meatus) and the lower edge of the eye sockets (orbits) 3.9 basic plane of a headform plane relative to the headform that represents the basic plane of the human head 3.10 reference plane construction plane parallel to

38、the basic plane of the headform at a distance from it which is a function of the size of the headform 3.11 test area area of the headform in which impact tests may be conducted which represents the minimum protected area of the human head BS EN 966:2012+A1:2012EN 966:2012+A1:2012 (E)EN 966:2012+A1:2

40、als For those parts of the helmet coming into contact with the skin no material shall be used which is known to undergo appreciable alteration from contact with sweat or substances likely to be found in toiletries. Materials shall not be used which are known to cause skin disorders, including injuri

41、es from contact with cold surfaces which are related to the thermal conductivity of the material. 5 Construction 5.1 General The helmet normally consists of a shell, either containing or providing the necessary means of absorbing impact energy, and either fitted with or providing means for retaining

42、 the helmet on the head in an accident. The helmet shall be so designed and constructed as to be capable of withstanding normal handling and use within the limits of the instruction accompanying it. The helmet shall be so designed that none of its parts nor any accessories fitted to or incorporated

43、in it are likely to injure the user during normal use. If the helmet is designed to form an integral assembly together with a headset, a visor or other devices to be attached, so that any use without these attachments is not intended, all requirements specified in Clause 5 shall apply for the comple

44、te assembly. A clear marking shall be placed on the product indicating that the helmet shall only be used in combination with the attachment(s). The information for users shall provide detailed instructions regarding the attachment of devices to be used in combination with the helmet. The constructi

45、on of helmets of category HPG shall be so designed as to minimize the risk that the lines, risers or other straps of the paraglider might become entangled by the helmet including any of its parts or accessories. NOTE Helmets should: have low weight; be easy to put on and take off; be usable together

46、 with spectacles; not significantly interfere with the ability of the user to receive acoustic ambient information (not relevant for helmets category UL, which should be protected against noise and should enable radio communication).
