EN 397: 2012
Industrial Safety Helmets
Mandatory tests:
• Impact* : Energy spread to the head form must not exceed 5 kN after the fall of an object of 5 kg at 1m high.
• Penetration* : The tip of the test mass used (3 kg from 1m height) must not come into contact with the skull.
• Flammability : The helmet is exposed to a flame and it must not burn with flame emission more than 5 seconds after removal of the flame.
* Impact and penetration tests are performed at room temperature, at +50 °C and at -10°C.
Optional tests:
• Resistance at extreme temperatures: testing impact and penetration are performed at +150 °C, at -20°C or -30 °C temperatures.
• Electrical properties:
Protects against a short accidental contact with electric leads under voltage up to 440 Vac.
• Lateral deformation:
Protects against lateral compression. The maximum deformation of the helmet should be ≤40 mm (LD).
• Molten metal splashes:
The helmet is not deformed or penetrated by splashes of molten metal (MM).
EN 50365: 2002
Insulating helmets for use on low voltage installations
This standard is for helmets used for working live or close to live parts on installations not exceeding 1000 V a.c. or 1500 V d.c. Testing to EN50365 exceeds testing under EN397 for electrical properties.
Marking: double triangle + class +batch number.
