SIST EN 13087-5:2001 - Protective helmets - Test methods - Part 5: Retention system strength - Effective Date

Overview
EN 13087-5:2012 - Protective helmets: Test methods - Part 5: Retention system strength (CEN) specifies standardized laboratory methods to assess the strength and behaviour of helmet retention systems (chinstraps, fastenings and related assemblies). The standard is a supplement to product-specific helmet standards and is intended to support conformity assessment and product development for head protective equipment (PPE) in Europe.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope: Defines methods to measure retention system strength; performance criteria are given in the appropriate helmet standard (not in this test method itself).
- Three test methods:
- Headform support, increasing load method (5.2) - applies a slowly increasing tensile force to an artificial jaw fixed to a helmet on a headform. Two variants:
- Method (a): measures ultimate tensile strength.
- Method (b): records elongation (positions P0 → P1) and peak force after an intermediate hold.
- Hook support, dynamic load method (5.3) - helmet on a headform is subjected to a sudden downward impact from a falling mass; records maximum dynamic and residual displacements and, if required, one‑hand release capability. Falling mass = (10 ± 0.1) kg; headform + attachments mass = (15 ± 0.5) kg.
- Headform support, dynamic load method (5.4) - a falling mass strikes an artificial jaw; measures dynamic and residual jaw displacements. Falling mass = (4 ± 0.1) kg; guidance/mounting mass = (5 ± 0.5) kg.
- Headform support, increasing load method (5.2) - applies a slowly increasing tensile force to an artificial jaw fixed to a helmet on a headform. Two variants:
- Apparatus elements: certified headforms (EN 960), rigid supports, artificial jaw (two rollers Ø 12.5 ± 0.5 mm, axes 75 ± 2 mm apart), falling mass guidance, displacement and speed measurement (impact speed measured to ±1% during commissioning).
- Procedural details: ambient conditioning per EN 13087-1; load rates (e.g. 20 ± 2 N/min or 500 ± 50 N/min), timed holds (120 ± 3 s), measurement precision (nearest mm), and reporting requirements (maximum force, elongation, failure mode, dynamic/residual displacement).
Practical applications
- Product development: validate chinstrap designs and fastening durability under static and dynamic loads.
- Type testing and certification: used by test labs to demonstrate conformity of helmets to referenced helmet standards and EU PPE requirements.
- Quality control: periodic batch testing or failure analysis after field returns.
- Procurement and safety management: specifying tested retention-system performance for occupational, industrial, sports and rescue helmets.
Who uses this standard
- Helmet manufacturers and R&D teams
- Accredited testing laboratories and conformity assessment bodies
- PPE certifiers and regulatory authorities
- Safety engineers, procurement officers and compliance officers responsible for helmet selection and verification
