This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for helmets worn by users of cycles and other equipment for transport with similar hazards, for example skateboards, roller skates and kick scooters. Requirements and the corresponding methods of test are given for the following: – construction, including field of vision; – shock absorbing properties; – retention system properties, including chin strap and fastening devices; – marking and information. This standard is not applicable for helmets for young children to be used when there is a risk of strangulation.
