If a shell is used, then protective padding 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 at 12 mm from the edge of the area of protection, shall not be less than the minimum thickness of the protective padding (liner) in the test area as defined in 6.1. 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. 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. 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 button on the top of the helmet and 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. SIST EN 1384:2012
