Personal Protection - Protective Headware for Industrial Workers International Safety Equipment Association 01-Jan-2003
Industrial head protective helmets meeting the requirements for the 2003 standard are classified as Type I for top protection or Type II for lateral impact protection. Both types are tested for impact attenuation and penetration resistance. Type II helmet performance requirements include criteria for impact energy attenuation from impacts from the front, back and sides as well as the top; off-center penetration resistance, and chin strap retention.
The three classes indicate the helmets electrical insulation rating, unchanged from 1997
- Class E (electrical) are tested to withstand 20,000 volts
- Class G (general) helmets are tested at 2200 volts
- Class C (conductive) provide no electrical protection
