13、005 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 14572:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 158 Head Protection, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the

14、 latest by October 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2005. 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 Directive(s). For t

15、he relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czec

EN 14572:2005 (E) 4 Introduction The protection given by a

17、 helmet in an accident depends on the circumstances of the accident. Users need to be made aware that wearing a helmet cannot always prevent death or a long-term disability. Riding helmets complying with European Standards offer a set of head protection devices for equestrian activities: Helmets for

18、 equestrian activities meeting the requirements of EN 1384; High performance helmets for equestrian activities meeting the requirements of this document. Advances in materials and design methods have allowed helmets to be developed to a higher performance level. The high performance helmet for eques

19、trian activities offers a greater protection from side impacts. Helmets in accordance with EN 14572 are intended for use in high-risk activities. EN 14572 is not intended to supersede EN 1384. The Technical Committee, which has prepared this document in addition to EN 1384, realizes that it is of gr

20、eat importance for the benefit of the wearers comfort and psychometric performance that a helmet is well ventilated, but at the time this document was prepared no adequate method for measuring the ventilating capacity of a helmet was recognized. EN 14572:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies pe

21、rformance requirements and test methods for high performance protective helmets that may or may not have a peak, for use by people involved in equestrian activities. It includes requirements for shock absorption, resistance to penetration, lateral crush, the strength and effectiveness of the retenti

22、on system and the deflection of a peak if fitted. 2 Normative References The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

33、rs head. If a shell is used, then the protective padding (liner) shall be securely fastened to it. The helmet shall not be fitted with nor have a chin cup. The minimum thickness of the protective padding (liner), measured between 12 mm from the edge of the area of protection and the test line shall

34、not be less than the minimum thickness of the protective padding (liner) in the test area as defined in 6.3. There shall be no ventilation apertures in the helmet between the lower edge of the area of protection and the test line. Testing in accordance with 6.3. 4.2 Materials The characteristics of

35、the materials used in the manufacture of helmets shall be not generally known to undergo substantial reduction in protective ability under the influence of ageing, or during the circumstances of use to which the helmet is normally subjected. See 6.5. For those parts of the helmet coming into contact

36、 with the skin, the materials used shall be not generally known to undergo reduction in protective ability arising from the effects of sweat or of toiletries. The manufacturer shall not use materials generally known to cause skin disorders of a non- allergic type. See 8.1 h). Testing in accordance w

37、ith 6.1 4.3 Finish All edges shall be smooth and rounded. There shall be no rigid projections on the inside of the helmet. Any external projection shall not exceed 5 mm or shall be smoothly faired to the adjacent surface, except for a peak. 4.4 Retention system A retention system shall be permanentl

38、y fixed to the helmet and shall incorporate a chin strap not less than 15 mm wide. The system shall be permanently fitted with fastening and adjustment devices which may be combined. The retention system shall be freed by deliberate action only. The fastening and adjustment devices shall have no sha

39、rp edges. The part of the device intended to be operated by the wearer to cause the device to open shall be coloured orange or red. No part of the retention system shall be coloured green. The chin strap (see 3.7) shall not have a chin cup. The buckle shall be constructed so as not to damage the ski

40、n or flesh by pinching when fastened, and shall be protected by padding or by buckle design. NOTE 1 It is permissible for the system to include padding or other means of enhancing comfort to the wearer. When the helmet is fastened to the headform for the retention system test (6.8.1), the buckle sha

41、ll not sit on the jawbone. NOTE 2 This may be achieved by adjustment of the retention system in accordance with the manufacturers instructions Testing in accordance with 6.1.
