EN 960:2006 (E)
Introduction

In preparing this revision of EN 960 it was decided to address several areas of concern, which had arisen

during the life of the previous version of this European Standard, namely:
 dimensional errors are present;

 several desirable definitions, characteristics and headform markings are missing;

 it is impossible to verify or demonstrate compliance of a headform with the standard because of the

absence of tolerances associated with the specified dimensions;

 the method of dimensioning the headforms, whilst essential to enable manufacture of the original wooden

headforms, does not facilitate a straightforward method of tolerancing these dimensions.

It was also acknowledged that headforms are specified, in various helmet standards, for tests where other than

a full headform is required. Accordingly, in this revision, “half headforms” and “three-quarter headforms” have

been specified, in addition to “full headforms”.

Half headforms are usually rigidly mounted (not falling), so consequently their mass is not important and is,

therefore, not specified in this European Standard.

Three-quarter headforms are also used rigidly mounted, but are often used in a falling headform and helmet

assembly arrangement for shock absorption tests, where they are typically supported by means of a ball joint

and cantilever. In such cases, the falling mass comprises that of the headform and of the supporting system.

Some helmet standards specify total falling mass, whereas some specify only the mass of the headform. For

this reason, only the dimensions, not the masses, of the three-quarter headforms are specified in this European

Standard. It is to be hoped that in future revisions, mass will also be agreed.

The opportunity has been taken to specify more adequately the centre of gravity and the geometric centre of

headforms, including the nomination of which of these characteristics is more appropriate to the different types

of headform specified and to whether the headforms are intended to be used rigidly mounted or in guided fall or

in free fall.

Whilst, in the past, the nominal sizes of headforms have been specified in multiples of ten millimetres (50, 51,

52 etc.), the actual circumferences are closer to five millimetres greater or less than nominal. In this revision

therefore, the size designations have been specified according to the actual nominal circumference, in

increments of ten millimetres (505, 515, 525 etc.).

Helmets for children have been available for a number of years but headforms to test them are not specified in

EN 960:1994. Following searches of the literature it was found that smaller headforms were specified in other

publications. However, when comparing the dimensions given for these headforms with those specified for the

headforms in EN 960, it was quite obvious that these smaller headforms were not specified as comprehensively

as those in EN 960. Hence, incorporation of these data would be neither straightforward nor consistent. It was

decided therefore, to develop, from the existing EN 960 dimensions, the specification for five new, smaller,

headforms below size 495.

In order to overcome the problems of tolerancing, it was decided to replace the existing dimensioning system

with a spherical coordinate system. Namely, using point ‘R’ (the geometric centre) as the datum and then

specifying the radius of points on the outer surface of the headform at various angles measured from point ‘R’.

Appropriate tolerances have then been assigned to the radius and to the angles.

As part of the process, linear regression lines through the existing data sets for head sizes A to Q were

established and the spherical coordinates were specified from the equations of these regression lines. The

coordinates of the new, smaller heads, sizes 445 to 485, were derived by simple scaling of the corresponding

points of head size 495 in proportion to the respective circumferences.
---------------------- Page: 5 ----------------------
EN 960:2006 (E)

Partly because of the impossibility of assigning these smaller heads code letters less than A (the other end of

the alphabet was considered and dismissed), it was decided to abandon the code letter system of identification.

Further, the concept of ‘internal circumference of a helmet’ was removed. Instead, headforms have now been

classified only according to a size designation, which corresponds to their circumference.

During this revision the opportunity was taken to correct obvious errors present in the existing tables, which

evidence themselves on the headforms as spurious bumps and depressions. Also, the data points were

smoothed where obvious discontinuities occurred and the protruding chin was removed.

Whilst, ideally, the dimensions of headforms already in existence, which ‘satisfy’ EN 960:1994, should comply

with the dimensions given in this revision, because of the preceding paragraph, there are a few points which fall

outside of the tolerances specified.

The spherical coordinates of head sizes 445 to 645 are given in the normative Annex A. The equations, which

define the radii of the spherical coordinates in terms of headform circumference and vertical and horizontal

angles, are given in the informative Annex B.

The first international draft standard for headforms was ISO/R1511:1970, followed many years later by

ISO/DIS 6220:1983. Both of these documents were based upon the British Standard, BS 1869:1960, which

itself was developed from the first set of test headforms produced by the UK Transport and Road Research

Laboratory in the 1950s. The TRRL headforms were designated solely by their size, given in inches. The

increment between each size was one eighth of an inch.

During the drafting of BS 1869, the concept of code letters was introduced, but unfortunately, errors of

transposition from the TRRL data were made, which resulted in incorrect dimensions being specified and the

inclusion of headform code letter H, circumference 565 mm. This headform was also specified in R1511, but

subsequently dropped from ISO/DIS 6220 and EN 960:1994. The dimensional errors however, were carried

forward through R1511, ISO/DIS 6220 and EN 960:1994.
A summary of this brief history is tabulated in informative Annex C.
