3 Terms and definitions
The following terms and definitions apply to this standard.
3.1
Sports helmet (hereinafter referred to as helmet)
A device used to absorb impact energy and reduce accidental injury to the
wearer's head during exercise.
3.2
Shell
5 Requirements
5.1 Structure
The helmet is composed of a shell, a cushion coat, a comfort pad, a retention
system, and the like.
5.1.1 Shell
It shall meet the following requirements:
a) Made of tough, water-resistant, heat-resistant and cold-resistant materials;
b) The surface shall be firm and smooth; the edges shall be rounded to
prevent direct injury to the head;
c) During the test of this standard, the shell shall not rupture which will
jeopardize the wearer
d) The height of the protrusion on the outer surface of the shell shall be not
more than 7 mm (the easy-to-fall parts are not subject to this
requirements);
e) It may have ventilation holes.
5.1.2 Cushion coat
It shall meet the following requirements:
a) Made of materials that absorb more impact energy and are not subject to
variability in sweat and cosmetics;
b) The adaptive cushion of appropriate shape and size to avoid displacement;
c) The inner surface shall not have projections and sharp objects with a
length greater than 2 mm;
d) It shall cover the minimum protection range of the head as specified in 3.9
and Figure 3;
e) It may have ventilation holes.
5.1.3 Comfort pad
It shall meet the following requirements:
a) Made of comfortable, sweat-absorbent, breathable, durable materials that
6 Test methods
6.1 Laboratory environmental conditions
The temperature is 20 ??C ?? 3 ??C; the relative humidity is 25% ~ 75%.
6.2 Inspection of helmet structure, size, protection range,
marking content
6.2.1 Inspection tools
The length measuring instruments which have a divisional value of not more
than 0.5 mm as well as the large, medium, small, extra-small standard head
model.
6.2.2 Inspection steps
a) Visually inspect the structure, appearance, marking of the helmet;
b) Use the measuring instrument to inspect the inner and outer surfaces of
the helmet and the strap, etc.;
c) Measure the size and protection area of the helmet. Wear the helmet to
the standard head model of the corresponding specification. It may adjust
the adjustment device of the retention system and apply a 5 kg load on
the top of the helmet. Measure the protection area of the helmet. Mark the
test area;
d) The results shall be in accordance with the provisions of Chapters 4, 5.1
and 7.1.
6.3 Inspection of helmet mass
6.3.1 Inspection tools
Weighing instruments which have a division value of not more than 5 g.
6.3.2 Inspection steps
a) Weigh and record the mass of the helmet (including accessories), in g;
b) The results shall comply with the provisions of 5.2.1.
It consists of a single-axis accelerometer, amplifier, data processing, display
and recording portion. Its main performance requirements are as follows:
a) Frequency response range Hz ~ 1000 Hz, band cut-off point
dB, attenuation slope -9 dB/oct ~ -24 dB/oct;
b) Meet the acceleration value testing requirements set forth in 5.2.5;
c) Measurement uncertainty U = 5% (k = 2).
6.7.2 Pre-test processing of helmet sample
The helmet samples must be processed in accordance with Table 4 before
testing. Choose one item for each helmet sample for processing.
The helmet samples after high temperature or low temperature treatment shall
be tested within 3 minutes. If it exceeds 3 minutes, the helmet samples shall be
returned to the incubator for more than 5 minutes before testing. The helmet
samples after the water immersion shall be tested after being dried for 20
minutes.
Table 4 -- Pre-test processing conditions of helmet
Item Temperature / ??C Time / h
High temperature 50 ?? 3 4 ~ 24
Low temperature - 15 ?? 2 4 ~ 24
Water immersion 15 ~ 23 4 ~ 24
6.7.3 Test area and impact point
6.7.3.1 Test area
The test area is the portion above the ABCDEF line in Figure 3 (see Figure 3
and Table 1).
6.7.3.2 Impact point
Select any four weakest parts in the test area as the impact point. Make one
impact for each impact point, wherein two impact points use flat anvil and the
other two impact points use curbstone anvil (once for each along the length and
width direction of the ventilation hole). The spacing between the two impact
points is not less than 120 mm. The impact speed and the number of impacts
are as shown in Table 5.
