EN 812:2012

Industrial bump caps

This European Standard specifies physical and performance requirements, methods of test and marking requirements for industrial bump caps.
Industrial bump caps are intended to provide protection to the wearer against the effects of striking his head against hard, stationary objects with sufficient severity to cause laceration or other superficial injuries. They are not intended to provide protection against the effects of falling or thrown objects, or moving or suspended loads.
NOTE   An industrial bump cap should not be confused with an industrial safety helmet, as specified in EN 397.

Industrie-Anstoßkappen

Diese Europäische Norm legt physikalische Anforderungen und Leistungsanforderungen, Prüfverfahren sowie Anforderungen an die Kennzeichnung für Industrie-Anstoßkappen fest. Industrie-Anstoßkappen dienen dem Schutz des Trägers, wenn der Kopf so stark gegen harte, feststehende Gegenstände prallt, dass es zu einer Platzwunde oder anderen oberflächlichen Verletzungen kommt. Anstoß-kappen bieten keinen Schutz gegen die Wirkung fallender oder geworfener Gegenstände, oder sich bewegender oder herabhängender Lasten. ANMERKUNG Eine Industrie-Anstoßkappe darf nicht mit einem Industrie-Schutzhelm nach EN 397 verwechselt werden.

Casquettes anti-heurt pour l'industrie

La présente Norme européenne précise les exigences physiques et de performance, les méthodes d’essai et
les exigences de marquage pour les casquettes anti-heurt pour l’industrie.
Les casquettes anti-heurt pour l’industrie sont destinées à protéger le porteur lorsque sa tête vient heurter des
objets durs et immobiles avec suffisamment de force pour provoquer des lacérations ou autres blessures
superficielles. Elles ne sont pas destinées à protéger des effets des projections ou chutes d’objets ou des
charges suspendues ou en mouvement.
NOTE Il convient de ne pas confondre une casquette anti-heurt pour l'industrie avec un casque de protection pour
l'industrie tel que spécifié dans l'EN 397.

Lahke industrijske čelade za varovanje pred udarci

Ta evropski standard določa fizikalne zahteve in zahteve glede zmogljivosti, preskusne metode ter zahteve glede označevanja za lahke industrijske čelade za varovanje pred udarci. Lahke industrijske čelade za varovanje pred udarci so narejene za zaščito uporabnika ob udarcu njegove glave v nepremične predmete, ki lahko povzročijo raztrganine ali druge površinske rane. Niso pa namenjene za zaščito pred padajočimi predmeti ali premikajočimi oziroma visečimi bremeni.
