ISO 6487, Road vehicles — Measurement techniques in impact tests — Instrumentation 3 Terms and Definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 shell material that provides the hard outer case of the helmet [EN 1384: 1996] 3.2 protective padding (liner) padding material provided to absorb impact energy [EN 1384: 1996] 3.3 cradle headband or other head fitting and those internal parts of the helmet other than the padding, which are in contact with the head [EN 1384: 1996] 3.4 retention system complete assembly by means of which the helmet is maintained in position on the head, including any devices for adjustment of the system or to enhance the wearer's comfort [EN 1384: 1996] SIST EN 14572:2005
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 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 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 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 with 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 permanently 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 sharp 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 skin 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 shall not sit on the jawbone. NOTE 2 This may be achieved by adjustment of the retention system in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions Testing in accordance with 6.1. SIST EN 14572:2005
