This European Standard specifies physical, performance, test and marking requirements for high performance industrial helmets.
High performance industrial helmets, as specified in this European Standard, are intended to provide
to the wearer protection against falling objects and off crown impacts and the consequential brain
injury, skull fracture and neck injury.
This European Standard includes mandatory requirements that apply to all high performance
industrial helmets and additional, optional, performance requirements that apply only where
specifically claimed by the helmet manufacturer.
