EN 133 Safety Helmet with Integrated Emergency Equipment Verification
The EN 133 standard specifies the requirements and testing methods for safety helmets designed to protect workers in various occupational environments. The helmet is required to meet stringent criteria ensuring it can withstand impacts, penetration, and provide adequate electrical insulation.
When integrated emergency equipment is involved, such as a built-in flashlight or radio, these features must also comply with additional standards like EN 361 for lighting and EN 391 for communication devices. This service ensures the helmet not only meets the safety requirements but also that its integrated components are reliable in an emergency situation.
This testing is critical for industries where worker safety and preparedness are paramount, such as construction, mining, and utilities. Compliance with these standards can significantly reduce the risk of accidents and ensure a safer working environment by providing workers with equipment that not only protects them but also equips them to respond effectively in emergencies.
The test procedure involves several steps:
- Visual inspection for any visible defects or damage.
- Impact resistance testing where the helmet is subjected to a drop from a specified height onto an anvil of defined shape and material.
- Penetration resistance testing using a steel ball of specific weight dropped from a certain height on top of the helmet at a predetermined angle.
- Electrical insulation testing if the helmet includes electrical components such as lighting or communication devices.
